Re: 100m string sounds

2005-11-07 by synth_ollie

yes the chorus adds of course a great deal to a rich string sound,
but in this case I believe it also depends a lot on the filters,
since the 100m vcf´s in my opinion lacks the richness and warmth
that you need to make a good strings sound,
thats why I´m replacing 8 of my 15 100m filters with other filter 
cirquits... ;)

also I do not understand why people are trying to make such boring 
sounds as strings with a modular syntesizer.... ;)
