I can see those things potentially having some use as a composers sketch pad, but I can't offhand think of ANY music recorded with one that I've liked. (not to say there might not be some singular exception out there among all the millions of songs that have been recorded since these things came out. theres always an exception.)
Modular synthesis is great. There are other options available in modulars, but a lot of modular synthesis could be described as a very sophisticated implementation of subtractive synthesis. I really want a modular, but a: they are pretty expensive, and b: they are really really big. when I am in a more permanent living situation it would make more sense for me to put one together. |
hi RobD,
Yes, I agree with what you are saying and sorry if my post sounded hostile! I just read what I said and I though, damn! sounds like I'm lookin for a fight!
I've long loved modulars too but I only ever had a PAIA system a long time ago. I do have an old Minimoog which is sweet. I have some '80's Roland and Yamaha stuff too. The more recent peices I have I like a lot and I'm impressed with, the Korg MS2000R and the roland Fantom XR.
