The history of the synthesiser interests me, more so what those original inventors and designers intended it to be used for. In my opinion the synthesiser has taken the full force of modern day consumerism, along with all the crap associated with it. Infact, i cannot think of another musical instrument shrouded in such hype, huge advertising compaigns ( empty promises, anyone? ) and so many flashy colors, often little more than the slightest of design changes and upgrades. The modern day synthesiser must surely be the worlds most misunderstood, perhaps abused musical instruments. Is this what those early pioneers and inventors intended? I think not. If you look at modern day consumerism and then take a closer look at the history of synths, how they evolved, it's possible to see why the synth became the advertisers dream, so much potential for churning out what is essentially the same models but somehow with the promise to be the " ultimate " model. I often wonder if the original inventors of the synth would consider owning many synths as defeating the objective? Would those original inventors agree or disagree about whether synths have really evolved the past few decades? in my opinion technolgy and design as improved but not much else, in many cases the sound of modern synths could be considered inferior and the dream of synthesis lost within the technolgy and design that makes them so attractive. After researching the history of synths and then taking an even closer look at the many different models, their features and sound making ability, for many musicians its often an exercise in collecting synths than anything remotely to do with music making. Gandhi once said "There is enough on earth for everybody's need, but not for everyone's greed." I'm sure Gandhi wasn't refering to synths but sometimes, i wonder if musicians ( i'm particularly interested in synth players ) question why they need so many synthesisers? and whether or not "greed" plays some role? I'm not convinced gear accumulation is about greed though, in my experience, keyboard and synth players tend to be the more sensitive and creative of musicians, questioning world politics and other world issues, unlike some drummers and lead guitarists i know Musicians will, can and do own many synths, i'm more interested in why non collectors, amateurs and semi professional musicians choose to use synths? how they're using them and if they are even aware of any overlaps? whether they appreciate how powerful advertising is, the pressures of modern day consumerism and how trends have had an effect on people and synths. I believe far too many keyboard players have lost their way ( not always their own fault ) or have been fooled into viewing the synthesiser just like another everyday throw away product. I wonder how many synth owners initialize their synths? start programming from scratch? If more did this it would be almost inconceivable to imagine a situation where most keyboard based musicians could need more than several synths, in my opinion. Trends. Vintage synths and gear accumulation? Here's 3 lists of Keyboards and synths. List A Yamaha Motif Korg Triton Roland Fantom List B Access Virus C Korg Radias Waldorf Q+ Clavia Nord ( any model ) List C Roland JX3p Roland JX10 Roland Jupiter 6 Korg Polysix Akai AX80 Sequential P600 Think about this, if you could choose one from each list to write an albums worth of tracks, which 3 would you choose? I have left the lists fairly short but i consider one modern workstation, one RA and one VA more than enough sonic power for most music duties, certainly for demos. How about these three lists. List A Yamaha EX5 Yamaha SY99 Kurzweil K2600 Korg M1 List B Moog Mini Moog Arp 2600 Oberheim OB1 List C Yamaha DX7 Roland Jupiter 8 Sequential Prophet 5 Elka Synthex Oberheim Matrix 12 One of each, which would you choose? How about if i said choose any four from all lists Yamaha Motif Korg Triton Roland Fantom Roland Jupiter 8 Sequential Prophet 5 Elka Synthex Oberheim Matrix 12 Moog Mini Moog Arp 2600 Oberheim OB1 Yamaha EX5 Yamaha SY99 Yamaha DX7 Kurzweil K2600 Korg M1 Roland JX3p Roland JX10 Roland Jupiter 6 Korg Polysix Akai AX80 Sequential P600 Access Virus C Korg Radias Waldorf Q+ Clavia Nord ( any model ) From a musical point of view, could you still find reasons for needing other synths after choosing any four from that list? Obviously, collecting synths can be very rewarding, but from a music perspective, just how many synths does the talented programmer and musician need?

Members Umbra Posted July 20, 2006 Members Share Posted July 20, 2006 So, everyone who doesn't like pb, shut up so we can read beautiful sentiments like,"Plastic baby posts some interesting questions. Given it's a discussion forum, WTF!" Nah, someone has to be the voice of rationality. The above is kinda like saying cancer has the right to live and shouldn't br treated? Or like saying we shouldn't treat AIDs cause it's caused by a virus and killing the virus would be wrong, we should just find a way to live togeather in harmony with the AIDs virus.

You extol of the virtues of the Eventides and high-end Lexicons. Fine. But, do they have software equivalents at all (or more correctly; are software equivalents necessary at all or can sheer volume make up for it)? Or are they in the shape of the Waves plugins, UAD cards with Sony Oxford EQ or something? Or does this mean putting the software through hardware effects?

Guest Anonymous Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Guys. I've been saying all along how powerful advertising is. The impact of ADSR is just like those adverts, i've used ADSR to prove how easy it is to manipulate. My intentions were good, own as many synths as you want but don't go fooling yourself, we don't need many synths to make high quality music. AK, no hard feelings. The Carousel Candy thread stays, i just deleted almost every single Plastic Baby post just so you remember how powerful advertising and manipulation really is.
