well said omz..
analog synths have thier particular sound, as goes for acoustic instruments.
but i find the sounds tiresome though. I have a pro-one, sh-1000, VCS
III, and use them on some of my tracks, to give it that "old school" sound..
but it all sounds the same to me. EVERYONE is using them.
Analog modeling is Analog Modeling. I wonder what the future holds on how
IDM "sounds"
But hey, who says an SH-101 wont sound like something else when processed,
right? :)
All tools should be used, old or new. But i think we all have more options
now. We should explore those new options with inspiration on how we can
shape the "new sounds" for the future of electronic music.
take it easy.
