moron posted:Novation V-Station is a good one to look at. It's old, and doesn't have some of the fancier features of newer synths, but it sounds good and is very easy to use. There's also many great preset banks available, if that's your thing. Unfortunately it also has a notorious tendency to crash Ableton Live.

I was just reading a bit about NI Komplete 6, which I forgot came out last month. All I can say is WOW I'm glad I bought Komplete 5 earlier this year. They've dropped Acoustic Piano, Electric Piano, B4, AND Pro-53. All discontinued entirely, with no new instruments in the bundle to replace them. These are all fantastic plugins, I use them all the time. On the upside, Kontakt 4 sounds like it has some interesting new features and I might upgrade to Guitar Rig 4 eventually. There's an Absynth upgrade (which sounds like it adds some new filters and some granular-esque processing) but I've so barely scratched the surface of Absynth that it's a pretty low priority.

mezzir posted:just opened live and put in 8 instances of Massive, each playing every note from c2-c3 on some patch with several effects. Graphically it slowed a bit but the cpu meter never broke 67% and the audio was flawless. On it's own it's not slow, it hovers around 1-5% when i've just loaded it but theres some presets with it that ramp it right up to 40% when it's set to ultra quality.

Yoozer posted:This has now been included in its entirety in Kontakt 4. I realize that Electric Piano is basically just a nice UI wrapped around a few Kontakt sound banks and some effects, but it IS a nice UI; there's something to be said for convenience for ease of use. And Pro-53, aside from a terrible patch management system, is a fantastic synth. It looks like NI is basically dumping everything that doesn't fit into the whole Kore paradigm, which is pretty questionable considering that response to Kore has been extremely lukewarm from what I can tell. (similarly, B4 apparently has been replaced with "57 Drawbar Organ", a sampled sound bank for Kore, which is a shame because I have a hard time imagining a better Hammond-type emulation than B4).

As for Elektrik - I hope with all my heart that now that they've taken over Scarbee that their Rhodes is released as a Kore pack. That'll give you the simple operation - and, more importantly, a vastly superior set of samples compared to Elektrik. Really, Elektrik is nice, but Scarbee's a total dreamboat. I now read that they're going to release everything in the coming 8 months and when the Rhodes is there I'm going to be all over it. I seriously love that 70s Kool & The Gang setup - Solina, Rhodes, Minimoog. Right now I've got 2 out of three (an actual Solina and a Studio Electronics SE1x), and Rhodes pianos are expensive as gently caress here so that set is going to be the next best thing. quote:because I have a hard time imagining a better Hammond-type emulation than B4). Anyway, I think I did even better; I got Komplete 4 thanks to RivensBitch here, so that means I also have Vokator and Spektral Delay. Awwww yeah.  melee beats posted:What. Pro-53 is the best vsti ever No, Massive is. Thanks for playing, though  wayfinder posted:...which in itself is pretty ridiculous if you think about it.

OMGWTFAOLBBQ posted:Does Synthsquad count as one? I'll go with that. Yes, but at the moment it's still a bit too CPU-hungry (totally worth it though, love Amber). Meatsplosion posted:Onboard FX I imagine? They don't just bypass all of a sudden just because the oscillators aren't screaming. A lot of sequencers have the option that when silence is detected in an audio track no processing is required. When your incoming blocks of audio are completely zero there's nothing to process. Leaving it on is kind of lazy. Especially when your plugin doesn't have any external inputs, so you know when to start doing something; when a MIDI signal is coming in.

Think i've got the last track I posted pretty much boxed off now, so I started work on another this weekend. soundcloud: http://soundcloud.com/downpour/draft Feedback would be cool  I borrowed a distortion pedal off a mate and went a bit nuts sending my synths through it...

The Acoustic Piano and Electric Piano discontinuation doesn't matter (to me) as Kontakt comes with some really great multi-sampled pianos, e-pianos and organs. I don't miss the Pro-53. Massive is the loving balls. The biggest update to Absynth is a pseudo-random morphing capability between patches. Use the browser to filter the patch selection menu, grab a patch, set the weight of the morph along with a random amount slider, hit morph, and the synth combines osc's, filters, effects, whatever of the selected patch and a random one from the filtered list. It's not bad as a starting point for new noises if you can't be bothered with starting from scratch again. It doesn't scratch the same random exploration itch as SynPlant, but it's still fun. Guitar Rig 4 is well worth it. Reaktor is...Reaktor.

squidgee posted:SHAZAM. More dirty fun music. the bass has zero grit and just kills the crunkness of the tune. what you need is a sub bass sine with some saturation and compression and then put your square/saw above that with a bandpass wobble and saturation(turn the filter overdrive on, if your using analog which i think you are) and then saturate or bitcrush the bandpass wobble part.

IanTheM posted:Pretty cool, just the bass synth needs to be more exciting, it just seems way too tame. Distort/compress/less cutoff or something. Well, it looks like I need to look into gritting things up. And no, it's not Analog -- it's an SH-101 patch I sampled layered over a sine wave.

Clearly the sampler's filters are what's killing me here so I'll have to fiddle with it. I'll give the bandpass a shot. Also the sine is on another track entirely -- I've got the mid bass and the sine grouped and lightly compressed together, but they're totally different tracks.

so my internet is all screwed up forcing me to connect with my phone, which sucks, but it does allow me to sink some serious time into production. So I present you with a new creation. *edit I now realize how completely loving inconvenient rapidshare is, and made some effort into getting this onto soundcloud. Aint easy working with big files from a cellphone :V http://soundcloud.com/turbotrixie/cameo-bitch-011 Quincy Smallvoice fucked around with this message at 01:02 on Nov 2, 2009 |

Yoozer or someone else, could you tell me how to get those big synth/string washes in old techno? Like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DB3QoW4rdS4 (comes in at :44) and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_lrckYBTMo (right from beginning) Are these just synthesized strings, or a preset on some vintage piece ill never get my hands on or what?

Terrible Horse posted:Yoozer or someone else, could you tell me how to get those big synth/string washes in old techno? The second example is sample-based; nothing vintage about it, except for perhaps the source sample - which are only 1 or 2 samples in total. Most sample-based synths nowadays have far more samples per key, which means that they'll have a higher fidelity, while in this case that's exactly what you don't want. See if http://www.emu.com/promo/proteusvx/welcome.asp can help you. For the first example, that's trickier, but it also sounds very much sample-based - with a choir layered on top of it.
