Emax

i use the comp for sound design and editing samples then i dump them back to hardware for the synth section and analog filtering 

the reason virus strings sound warm are the multi saw oscillators these oscillators are single cycle wave forms i have emulated some using csound

ill post some on the furom site ill do them a 3 cycles long then ill loop the middle 1 for you they will be in the key of aas its a nice equal number system for the computer to compute a4 being 100 samples to 1 single cycle wave 

these samples will only take up 1-2k each and you can have hundreds on 1 floppy

soft samplers make you lazy in the fact that when wanting a resonant sweep sound they same the instrument that does it which makes the sample static for resweeping with out restarting the sample 

were as you can synthesis it on an emax and can change the sweep any way you like in real time with use of the onboard modulaters with out having to restart the sample by pressing a key 

thats the difference in hardware and software its the limitations that make you more creative 

becuse you use programming to get the sound to perform instead of say the gigabyte piano in giga studio thats been sampled at massive long takes 

the perfect piano from ensoniq was only 1 mb in size and sounds sweet thats the difference you can get outstanding sounds with little memory and programming i use an ensoniq mirage which has only 2 banks of 64k but drums sound wicked on it coupled with its digital distortion of the oscillators and the analog filters its in the programming

the key to being different is experimentation and programming and single cycle waves

  everything I do with software instruments some how end up in hardware sampler as well.

  Subject: [emax] Keeping track of "source material"...

  I'm finding that especially with Melodyne Studio now that keeping 
  track of "source material"
  is becoming increasingly difficult!

  After something goes into Melodyne and I have multiple arrangements it 
  is so easy to lose track
  of the original sound material that was the source of some of the end 
  product that I'm having
  to design custom sheets to track the work through its phases.

  Anybody else finding this to be the case with your work?

  I started with regular cue sheets (Excel) and redesigned them.

  I keep thinking of that lawsuit where that musician sued the "Beastie 
  Boys" and won
  over "performance" in the three note sample rather than the sampled 
  notes themselves!

  I never "rip", but it makes one wonder about material and where it 
  goes and where
  it comes from these days! :-) A friend of mine uses a Ringo Star 
  Beatles drum-hit
  over and over again in his work. He loves that particular hit!
