Re:sid.....should i or shouldn't i...

2000-06-16 by fffff fffff

Hi to all sidstation users...I need some advice....

I don't own a sidstation....I have the money and i'm very close to placing 
an order...i just need to know how much you recommend these machines...

I do ambient/abstract and a little dancemusic etc.and futuristic 
soundscapes..I don't use alot of grunge and distortion...i love it but don't 
make that kind of music...more futuristic/otherworldly ambient etc and light 
maybe?....I'm looking for sounds never heard of on planet earth before..not 
so much menacing as bewildering and inspiring......all the sidstation 
reviews seem cool.. the user reviews sound very very positive...is the 
sidmaster able to do subtle..ambient..arp warblings etc? whats the wavetable 
capable of...I get the feeling something is lurking in the sidstation..am i 
right.

Sorry for all the questions...I'm a little indecisive today...the sids
got me twitching alittle...I am considering a microwave...but i don't want 
loads of sounds or the usual basses and stuff so much ..just need a new 
soundsource to mix with various other synths etc...but with huge 
possibilities...I found the demo mp3's which show certain aspects of the 
sidstation but was left a little confused!

P.s ..is there a problem midi'ing the sidstation up to an atari sequencer 
(creator)

If anyone can offer any advice..etc then that would be cool...

Matt hillier......Ishq
