How to make soundsin general on synths

lol ok

that Nord Modular G2 is a really cool idea, put the software in the keyboard, then leave the laptop at home.

yup! I honestly think it is one of the best synths ever made... considering how flexible, customizable, and and performance friendly it is.

Unfortunately, they just discontinued them.... :(

and was PMing me the exact same message is kind of redundant.

you know, if there's a veritable side to take on this mini-spat here, i have to go with idiron insomuchas he merely just spoke of a state of mind he likes to take in and then you swooped in and claimed he was pretending to know about something and scoffed in his general direction, whereas really he was just kind of reveling of being a child who wanders into a middle of a movie and wants to know what's going on... shrug.

i can relate to mister idiron because i have decided to fill one of my numerous voids in life wiht some r&d in the whole process of beatmashing with/without finely synthesized noise and i have nowhere to go so i've gotta play around with all of this shit, and i do suppose having a set methodology drilled into your head wouldn't be as whimsical as trying to do it all on your own, harboring post-rdj fantasies of building oscillators in your garage at the age of 12, if only to make up stories for interviews that make you sound like far more of a genius than you really believe you are =D

see this is the kind of shit that is really fucking daunting to me, ever the perpetual n00b in this realm: what the fuck is all of that stuff on the screen?!@

call me an old fashioned savage of a simplistic non-electronic music mind, but really, from my limited exposure/experience with synths you'd have something with keys on it (my one friend has a yamaha cs1-x) that had its sounds and arpeggiators and then he had his rackmount effects and things he could use to filter the sounds outputted from his synth, even being able to tweak various aspects of said output with knobs and settings and whatnot.... so are those connect-the-dots things on the screen DSP filters or some sort of FX things that act as a virtual rackmount in conjunction with the actual synth there?!@

i think i might make my own thread that runs the risk of being redundant with this one, but hey, idon't care about the theory of how the sounds are made and what's happening to waveforms, really, i just want to know the end user side of things.

download the Schwar Olga VST (virtual vintage russian analogue synth). it's pretty straightforward except all the knobs are labelled in german so you can experiment blindly

Aren't they actually labelled in Russian, what with it being a VSTi of a Russian synth an' all ?! :laughing:

yeah thanks so much for bumping this, sini.

for the record, original unedited post was something along the lines of 'ive learnt everything there is to learn about music, nothing more can be learnt, so im just following the footsteps of geniuses before me'. we'd clashed before over my belief that people without formal musical education often produced more interesting music, so i think this posturing begat the bitter and dirty mess of nerd complex he tried to drag me into.

the bad thing is that i feel i have to go on record saying i had a formal education in violin and piano and have been producing electronically since i was 13. this is the sort of position i dont like getting into because next thing you know you feel like you have to waffle on about routing lfos to impress upon people how knowledgeable you are.

that said, the nord modular is very cool.

uhm well, suffice to say i felt there a reason to kind of notice this post humously and call my shot as i saw it, but hey i'm on your side here!! i've had my run-ins with the dark ambient daddy oh so long ago (i think i worked at a library then, so it had to be pre-2005) and well, i've caught some of this myself... and yeah.

you made grange hill, he did not. therefore you /win as far as i'm concerned =D

going to college for comp sci/programming gave me a great toolbox i'm going to be drawing on for the rest of my life, but it also ruined the mystery of comp sci/programming. it used to feel like this big wonderful universe of things to explore. now, it just feels like another language, another operating system, another algorithm.

i fully understand someone not wanting this to happen with music. luckily, it's much harder to ruin music because of the emotional basis of it...

you know what, screw it: I'M SORRY.

Honestly. But from my perspective, you were the one that was trying to big themselves up. Like I said before, there was no mention of "studying" or "degree" besides the joke post me and Braintree made... and then suddenly you just decide to state why you didn't get a degree. Seemed pretty related to our little exchange. If it wasn't, then I'm sorry. I still find it hard to believe that it wasn't though, and I'm sticking to that (just like you're sticking to your own interpretation of my entire response) so fair is fair.

But you have in the past gone on, directed to me specifically, gone on about studying music being some kind of bad... and it wasn't isolated to one thread either... so excuse me for taking your random decleration out of context and getting defensive about it... because honestly, I think I get more shit about studying it, than you do about not.

and yeah, I'm the one that started all the shit with you sini.... please.

i wait for one of you guys to make it then i sample it and put a flanger over it
