Emax

yes i find that lets have that moog sample lets have that obx sample 

its easy to create in old samplers with out the moog or the ob,s they use analog oscillators 

thats how they can emulate them with va synths 

they take a sin wave or triangle wave a saw wave  or sqaure wave and they mix them together then they go to the filter then they go to the amp being controlled by the envolopes and lfo

now the emax and other samplers have the same synth section as all samplers of the day were based on analog synthesis for there synth section they just used digital oscillators which were better as they did not drift

moogs are good but not good for gigging as there oscillators drift to temeratue changes you could be playing a good lead solo then to have it start changeing in pitch in a funny way not good 

the other thing to remember when making sounds is if you are layering to saw or square or sin or tringle waves set each one to a different phase say 90o from each other thats what gives the beating sound of analog oscilators as each oscilator on the moogs or what ever synth you used would be slightly out of phase but this added to the caractor of the sound 

thats why they say digital is harsh 

but with single cycle wave you can do the same thing 
because that is what analog oscillators are they are electronic voltage signals repeated 1 voltage cycle at a time thats why they loop so well

  Yes, it was really a tangent that frankly I don't get to discuss with many people without them getting an odd look on their face and walking off.

  Sound Design: I love spending HOURS on sound mod and creation. I do feel that it helps me to take a step back and use the older equipment since everything being used in modern music is sterile and used by everyone everywhere. I think that's where something Depeche said in an interview really stuck with me for long and got me on this road. Make every sound your own and unique. Don't use presets when you can tweak or make something from scratch and that's what do or at least attempt.

  Even if I use a 909 kick in something I can't help but mess with the pitch or release or filter it someway so I can't recognize it as just one of 50 909 kick samples everybody else has. Turn on the radio now and EVERYONE uses the same sounds in their music and it's maddening!! It's like Taco Bell for sound: The Menu: Cheese (909 samples) Beef (Roland Pianos) and Tortilla to wrap it all in (Pro Tools). 

  I sometimes just want a simple 4 track cassette and my Emax! That's it!
