It's raised some interesting posts, and points. The fella said he was just making a discussion. I want something fresh from the source baby!
I know that Alchemy does resynthesis, but playing with the demo did not know my socks off at all.Word, someone who can actually read.and between the lines too. If I was doing research, I would go deep into resynthesis, using all kinds of recorded material as starting blocks. Which leads me to think that one's opinion on this subject is directly related to how much synthesized music one has listened to/ created/analyzed over the years. I may be waiting for a long time though.Īlso, I'm an old fart, and have heard many of the synth sounds that some posters call 'original'. Add all the FX you want, I'm interested in something that sounds new from the get go (synthesis of the source). If we're talking synthesis, I'm still waiting for something fresh. The question was not, a) Is it possible to create new sounds no one has heard? or b) Is synthesizing new sounds essential to making good music? etc. If I go back to the OP, I don't see many people answering the question directly. We're not getting anywhere when synthesizers use the same old 7 or so waveforms.Īnd people need to stop soaking everything in reverb so we can actually hear the actual waveforms going on instead of diffused mush. This is why I wish EVERY synth had drawable oscillator waveforms AND the ability to load up WAV files as oscillator waveforms. So I think it would be very difficult to come up with new sounds, especially when most of the current tools keep pushing the same basic building blocks of synthesis.
This leads me to believe that many waveform variations sound roughly the same. Yet I looked at the waveform, and each time it was something other than a detuned saw. Thoughts?I am reminded of tons of times I heard what sounded like a detuned saw. But creating a sound never heard before which are actually pleasant enough to use is a different story. I feel most sounds we dont hear in music often are rare because they sound unpleasant to most ears. Or have we heard them all? What do you guys think about this and what is required electronically/technically to come up with a cool sound no one has heard before?
