Members AJP Posted December 23, 2009 Members Share Posted December 23, 2009 I could do without "Digital Native Dance". However, I've always been, and always will be, a sucker for the D50-turned-GM staple sounds "Staccato Heaven", "Fantasia" and "Stereo Polysynth". I don't mind the DX7 e-piano so much unless its in a horrible song. Which, oftentimes, I guess it is. Am I sick of "Jump"? Absolutely. Am I sick of big, fat, juicy, thick detuned analog saws? Never!!

Members aeon Posted December 23, 2009 Members Share Posted December 23, 2009 The DX7 e-piano. I never liked it, and never will. The timbre is unpleasant to my ear. It gets worse when layered with a real piano to get that "L.A. Piano" sound. Good God! My apologies to David Foster. The D-50 Staccato Heaven. The D-50 is capable of some lovely sounds. This is not one of them. To my ear, it was trite from day one. Blecch! My apologies to Paolo. The M1 Piano. This one doesn't induce me to self-mutilate, but its cute factor is long since gone. There was a time it could make me smile in the context of a really compressed house beat but those days are over. cheers, Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members aeon Posted December 23, 2009 Members Share Posted December 23, 2009 I forgot to mention those multi-layer PCM pads that have that tinkly, crystal raindrops sound over top. Ugh! cheers, Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Numina Posted December 23, 2009 Members Share Posted December 23, 2009 Even though most of the artists I listen to at one point or another have used the TR-909s in this way, I really dislike the snare, bass, high-hat techno beat riff. Never liked it. I much prefer good old samples of bass drums, gated snares, even rim shots over the 909 sounds. - J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Staccato Heaven is trite at all.

Members ChristianRock Posted December 23, 2009 Members Share Posted December 23, 2009 Don't listen to them Paolo! Let's continue playing our glorious FM pianos and D-50 Staccato Heavens. Let them have it! I'm not big on the M1 piano but the JD-800 piano is similar and soooo gorgeous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members feralmusic Posted December 23, 2009 Members Share Posted December 23, 2009 Also synth leads inspired by guitars with fuzz/distortion - I simply can't stand guitaresque synth leads and riffs. yeah, jan hammer sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Roy Brooks Posted December 23, 2009 Members Share Posted December 23, 2009 One of the groovy things about being new to synthesizers is that most of these sounds I only started noticing over the past few months. So none of these sounds have become cliches to me yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MarcinP78 Posted December 23, 2009 Members Share Posted December 23, 2009 yeah, jan hammer sucks. Jan Hammer is the master of synth guitar leads so he's excused But all the cliche sounds have been used by remarkable artists who don't necessarily suck, so what's the point?

Members The Severalist Posted December 23, 2009 Members Share Posted December 23, 2009 Anything original in any way. It's such a clichaed standard. Everybodies either doing it or forcing their weeping grandmothers to oil it's pecs. I haven't heard anybody use the jump patch since jump. Now that it's universally reviled, I say it's due for a come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
