And the fact that a FIFTEEN y/o piece of software runs trouble-free on modern Windows is just so valuable...
Unfortunately, much of my work needs to happen on proprietary software and backwards compatibility like this is a big reason I can't switch to an Apple ecosystem.
This morning I'm taking a journey to try and get a modern wavetable polysynth to stand in as a surrogate for one of the best monosynths Moog ever produced.
Can I tame the 3rd Wave? Only one way to find out!
Can I enter the studio, write and sequence a short piece, record it, edit the video, AND take my pup for a walk on the snowy cabin trails... all in under 120 minutes?
Apparently so!
The result is this peaceful little winter cabin performance featuring the Groove Synthesis 3rd Wave, Yamaha CS-30, and others.
The AX80 is not an easy instrument to love, but has a STRONG personality. To find it, you'll have to push it to the outer limits of what the engine was built to do.
@composergreg@synths@synthdiy don't I know it! Working with external sequencers is making me consider doing some analysis of electronic music pre-DAW to figure out specifically how those people created form. It's tough! It's the linkages that are hard.
#LoopShare is a handy hashtag to search musical ideas born of a loop (or loops) with little/no serious development.
This little gem began life as a 4-bar loop performed on the #CS-30 and blossomed into a simple Giallo love scene theme. (sense of ironic humor required)
If you're interested in working with the raw loop material yourself, just give me a shout.
