What makes a tron sound like nothing else

2006-06-29 by kinchmusic@aol.com

I've been thinking more about the tuning issues raised by Martin, and fully  
agree that the seriously out of tune notes should be pulled back into line.  
However, the one sound I would not want to have tuned is the mk2 violins as I  
think it's their slightly "out of tuneness" that makes this particular  tron 
sound so distinctive. Put them perfectly in tune and it becomes just like  any 
string sampler.
I therefore advocate fixing the real bad ones but leaving those  slightly 
dodgy notes alone....If you have think about whether a note needs  fixing, then 
it probably doesn't.
