Loading in random porno pics to a picture-to-sound app like Metasynth or
Coagula is pretty easy to get some squiggly noises. But was that last
year's fad?
How about these granular synthesis apps? Give it a break downloaded from
somewhere like
http://www.113audio.com/ and twiddle some parameters and
hey - it's an IDM loop (or song if you're feeling particularly lazy). Why
do you think V/VM gave one away with every copy of one of their releases?
How about a twiddle on the famous Hyperprism blue screen? Not exactly
challenging.

Indeed it does - ignoring the fact that you need a decent computer to run
it. I'm not against soft synths, it's just that courtesy of folks like
Radium, loads of people have the same tools available to them. Combine that
with the ability to distribute it over the net and you have a the equivalent
of digital TV - 200 channels of mostly shite programs. Just as there's only
so much money to make quality telly, the thinner you spread it the crappier
the quality, and the harder it is to find the good stuff.

Well if you're going to chuck them away, it's a good job you probably didn't
pay for them!

Where do digital synths fall in the above opinion?
