softsynths based on hardsynths resource

[analoq]

who loves synthesizers? everyone, duh.
Compyfox has been working on a resource detailing softsynths that approximate hardware synthesizers; both vintage and modern classics.

most of us are software-oriented producers (myself included) so perhaps it is of interest?
there's links to free stuff too, so peep it even if you're cashless:

Sounds fun.

Especially since we have that 'thing' to do now

amazingly comprehensive.

nice work :nicework:

I'll go through later and name the others that it covers, but Broomstick Bass has a Moog Taurus as well.

Can I get some recommendations on NI's Elektric Piano? Is it worth it?

nice work.

[SnappleMan]

People who know me know that I only use two softsynths (the only ones that are based on hardsynths I've actually used). This will help me expand my repertoire, so I thank you!

nice, definitely bookmarking this site. You might want to make a note on your site. The Roland SC-88 sound canvas, Nobuo Uematsu used this to compose the entire Final Fantasy VIII soundtrack. And here is my proof:

Read the 7th question he was asked during the interview.

and how would that be relevant, pray tell?

the only reason FF7 is brought up in that list is because there's a Yamaha wavetable on of the discs.
it's a useless bit of info what Uematsu used.

cheers.

sorry, just thought it would be a nice tidbit to have to give an idea of what kind of sound you can obtain from the device. but i guess you dont care about that.

[Yoozer]

The site isn't just for remixing only, and you could've better sent an e-mail to Compyfox himself to have it included. While mr. Uematsu might be famous and all that, including artists in the liner notes would only be a good idea if you'd put them there for every piece of gear.

[Hsia Nu]

ya know what, just forget i made the suggestion. I see there are quite a few egos around here so im not gonna say anything more on this subject.

[Yoozer]

We may have egos but at least they're not that easily bruised :lol: (badum-tish!)

Nah, don't take it that seriously :D. Anyway, Compyfox maintains the site so he'd be the one to ask to have it included. You can always try.

[OverCoat]

Too much work.

Like then you'd have to list stuff like Keith Emerson has like 300 moogs, or Vangelis used rlrllflghlbnlrl* in Chariots of fire

Well, most of the work of gathering artist names has been done already - http://www.vintagesynth.com/yamaha/cs80.shtml for instance (which was what Vangelis used).
