...

...I bought an awesome set of Amethyst D6 from the chap I ended up buying my house from.

It was important when I was playing ShadowRun in 2002.

Then I realised that my character was basically 'Bullseye' from DareDevil, then I lost the will to live.

I was a big fan

of the D10 in it's day.

But I think it's a very 'of its era' synth.

(

Mystery_Bob, Mon 8 Dec 2008, 23:36, archived)

Hm...

Linear Arithmetic Synthesis was never going to convince anyone. Samples of the 'Attack' of real instruments, mixed with dodgy DX-7 style FM (Well, Phase distortion really) to save space in the ROM... it sounds great if you want cheesy eighties-style Chris DeBurgh patches.

I have the D5, based on the same engine as the D10, just harder to edit I think. You can access all of the operators from the front panel. you just wouldn't ever want to. Working backward from a Japanese cookbook is easier.

I even still use my Atari ST and Falcon to edit the patches on my D5, but it's still just horrible. I paid £80 for this synth in 2003 and I wish I'd saved the money for an MS2000. Ugh.

(theSHALROTH Gaga's tits are on fucking fire!!!, Mon 8 Dec 2008, 23:43, archived)

Just wondering here, but...

have you ever tried working backwards from a Japanese cookbook?

(

You wind up with lots of raw stuff.

Much the same as going forwards, really.

Hai...

sou desu.

Sore wa 'ramen' desu ne?

(yes, I'm learning Japanese. Officially, and on purpose. Try not to faint.)

(theSHALROTH Gaga's tits are on fucking fire!!!, Mon 8 Dec 2008, 23:54, archived)

Du--wha--what does that mean?

Japanese is a pretty cool-sounding language. Is it hard?
I'm learning French (we have to take a language at school, and it's that or Latin or Spanish) as well as Dutch, though I need to practice more. And I wanna learn something Norse. :]

(

Killerkitti Like my coffee black, just like my metal, Mon 8 Dec 2008, 23:57, archived)

It's not actually that hard

but it is very different to all western languages, you have to think in a different order. Oh, and there are three new alphabets to master:

for example:

watashi wa kirakite desu.

regarding me, killerkitti it is.

they're called particles... 'wa' indicates that it's the topic.

Anata wa kirakite o-namae desu.

Regarding you, your name is killerkitti.

Kanji is characters from Chinese, where one symbol (or 'glyph') represents a concept or a word.

Hiragana is a syllabary, where each glyph represents a sound. it's used for particles, where there's no kanji, and sometimes you see hiragana as well as the kanji, if it's considered obscure.

Then there's Katakana, which is like hiragana but with simpler glyphs, the same sounds as in hiragana but it's only used for words that aren't japanese in origin.

I can see why you learn Spanish and French, with Mexico and Canada and that.

I was fluent in German at one point, and Dutch and Norwegian were quite straightfoward in comparison. I learnt Norwegian (boksmal) to ask a girl out once. long story, that didn't end well.

There's nothing 'dodgy' about DX-7s

BAH

(

mofaha ┐( ˘_˘)┌ ʅ(́◡◝)ʃ, Mon 8 Dec 2008, 23:50, archived)

*sigh*

What I said.

There's nothing wrong with the DX-7 (apart from the whole 4-operator Phase distortion concept) but Roland's take on it with their LA synths was well dodgy.

(theSHALROTH Gaga's tits are on fucking fire!!!, Mon 8 Dec 2008, 23:56, archived)

Yeah maybe, honestly I didn't use many Rolands back in the day

but I did spend a fair amount of time deep in the belly of the DX7, inspired by the fact that Eno made it sound so fucking great. It was fiddly and unpredictable but totally worth it.
The setup I have now makes everything easy and is pretty much unlimited in scope, and I never know what the fuck to do with it. Limitations and difficulties work for me.

(

mofaha ┐( ˘_˘)┌ ʅ(́◡◝)ʃ, Tue 9 Dec 2008, 0:03, archived)

This last bit, definitely.

I find I get the most gut-based inspiration from doing things like taking a kids' pound-shop keyboard (pulled out of a skip) and plugging it into a bunch of guitar effects, then tweaking things. This worked best when the batteries in the keyboard were nearly dead, and the distortion stage was picking up Radio 4.
If I try to get the same sort of immediacy from a stack of very-nice-sounding-and-infinitely-adjustable synths / softsynths, there's just too much to mess with.

(

Blue WKD mixed with Dr. Pepper is awesome, it's one of the best things I have ever invented. It tastes like bubblegum and christmas cake and it doesn't get you too drunk, to quickly. (There's probably more ethanol in a jolt of mouthwash or cough syrup)
