Guest Hanratty Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 u-he Ace sounds analog to me. but honestly I dont see what the fuss over sounding analog is all about. i'm ready for another anti-analog movement in electronic music.

Cryptowen Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Personally I don't much care for vsts emulating analog hardware. It's like trying to make an oil painting in Photoshop. I think computers are best off when used to push electronic sounds in ways that would be impractical/impossible with analog gear (like those intentional file corruption experiments going on in the other thread), instead of trying to be something they aren't. That being said, I like using Digidrum vst for pitched synth drum stuff.

vamos scorcho Posted March 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 i generally agree but i'm trying to go for an analogue electro type sound at the moment - without a real analogue synth. and surprisingly the results aren't bad at all with tassman and kontakt sampling vintage stuff Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/54123-tassman-4-has-the-be-the-closest-thing-to-sounding-analogue/#findComment-1264734 Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundwave Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 the Tassman is good but the Auturia's are better The EMS AKS VST isn't bad either but very pricey put them up against real analogue and you start hearing the 'softness' of softsynths in the higher octaves Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/54123-tassman-4-has-the-be-the-closest-thing-to-sounding-analogue/#findComment-1264907 Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is fucking truth. "Lobster Tracks" is a standout for me on this aesthetic. Autechre definitely get the weirdy-beardy out on their Macs and Monos but it's obvious that they are jangling keys, farting, hitting cardboard boxes, and doing other "analogue" things to feed into the hopper. It's like Chris gives you a totally dry mix out of the headphone jack of his computer going apeshit on hitched blip beats and granular-type (? can't explain, it's Cylob proprietary, lol). time stretches. You almost can't even use words to talk about it because it is so dependent on knowing his latter output. He's wanted to get this for years, you can tell. The Cylob mix of "Ventolin", although surely composed of samples of his dot matrix printer shitting its pants, was a precursor to him saying "fuck it" and writing the programs to do his bidding. *loads up Cylob discography in playlist. Is satisfied* This post is just about enough for me to embark on a proper Cylob hunt, to see what the fuss is about.

LimpyLoo Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Alot of analogs don't even sound analog. As long as it doesn't sound brittle and chintsy.

ryancolecreate Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 It goes beyond the mere analog analogy really. It also does FM, and physical modeling. You can also flip it around and it becomes a complete modular system! It's like reaktor but with a much stronger analog lean. No math or anything really. It even counts note numbers by volts! :D Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide ryancolecreate's signature Hide all signatures ------ dailyambient.com ------ New Ambient Music Every Day.

Nil Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 It's not about VSTs sounding analogue, it's about VSTs sounding effortlessly good like some of the most famous analogue synths. Most softsynths don't, but few exceptions do ;) Few analogue synths sound as good as a MS20 or a MIniMoog anyway.

BCM Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 lol I think I kind of get what he means...for example the Roland JX-8P and Roland SuperJX/JX-10 sound quite "digital" - audible stepping when performing filter sweeps etc. I love both these synths but I could see how, for analogue synths, they don't sound classically analogue.

Guest RadarJammer Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Tassman has one of the most offputting interfaces I've ever seen. Sonigen is worth keeping an eye on if you're interested in analogish modular stuff. Bazille too.
