yeah buy only one synth and make sure its the one you want. well imo though. some people might have better attention span than me

Is the Korg Radias-R an updated version of the MSR2000R?

Better board? Anyone know if the Radias can do sample and hold stuff like in this video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mE-utEA-I6U

And I don't think this is the 'best advice' either.

Do you think money/synths killed your creativity or really just your lack of ability to focus on the task at hand?

I see you say that shit all the time and never understood it one bit. If you were sitting home all the time tweedling knobs and not actually trying to make inspiring music, is that the synths fault or yours?
Just not a good reason to be telling other people its bad advice. If anything my creativity went up a few notches when I got my virus. Now if I had went on an all out spree filling my studio with 400 different synths... thats a different story.

I am always looking for new, inspiring sounds. A lot of the synths I see in stores all sound the same after a while.

I have the stylus library (RMX, backbeat, retrofunk), and Atmosphere. Can anyone recommend any similar libraries? I don't have any from Native Instruments. Maybe something from them?

Originally posted by Alpha219 I've checked out the Nord synths a few times and was not impressed. It just sounded straight-up-the-middle and basic.

But with very little processing it sounds quite brilliant I think :-). I'd feel more inclined to say that the Virus sounds all over the place hehe.

I own a Virus KC and Nord Rack 2 btw.

I've come to the conclusion that the Nord is for the programmer/tweaker who understands where the sound will be after an FX chain, before it goes through the FX chain and the Virus is for the preset whore who wants a finished sound right now.


Which is of course bollocks.

thats my story and I dont recommend it. that is all.
i will also continue with saying that nord lead 2x is the best synth out there.

yep. Love the rawness of it. Nothing to hide behind. You can tell a quality synth by listening to just a pure oscillator and the filters. I think the Waldorf Pulse is also one of the later generation synths that sounds incredible although it is analogue despite being released during the analog modelling frenzy of the mid nineties. You can add effects in your DAW which will probably outdo any onboard effects they would throw in anyways.

Just bought one second hand a few weeks ago - its just great to be able to twist this knob and that knob and come up with some weird, screechy sounds, but somehow however hard you push the synth the top end always seems nice on the ears
