  1. hi shaggy.

    I was putting together a Doepfer DIY synth:

    In the video I'm using an Arduino Due to create control voltages from a keybed I removed from a broken oxygen8. I'm trying to create a panel/enclosure for it using laser-cut acryllic but I haven't had time to work on it.

    Also I have the Ray Wilson book you mentioned, I put together some of the simpler circuits e.g. the pulse-wave oscillator made from a Schmitt trigger. Again, when I have more time I'll try some of the more interesting circuits.

    Not analogue, but currently awaiting delivery of an FPGA starter board for me to play with. I was thinking of designing an 8-bit style sound chip for it and well, writing some chiptunes for it? We'll see.

    cheers.

  2. Vocal hate? A victim is me!

    Kidding of course, I don't mind in the slightest. In fact I would be happy to provide you guys with an instrumental mix of this, however after 10 years, and I can hardly believe it's been that long, the project files have no doubt collected a prohibitive amount of cobweb; I wouldn't have the hours necessary to sort it out and bounce anything.

    Thanks for the kind words, though.

    cheers.

  3. Older Xing-based mp3 encoders (e.g. blade) produced a compromised high-end which was distinguishably annoying. Perhaps your older mp3s were from one of these encoders. Or maybe they just have very low bit-rate and you're hearing ordinary artifacts. Unfortunately either situation it can't be helped.

  4. Let them do their thing dude, that wasn't necessary. Come on. :?

    They need not my permission nor my approval to proceed; I'm not impeding anyone from doing their "thing". The philosophical regress of "necessity" is without objectivity, so we disagree there. I decline your invitation to be supportive of promotional remix competitions for for-profit amateur video games.

    cheers.

  5. Yup. It's obvious that you weren't thinking, but that does not mean you were being sarcastic or unserious.

    If you define sarcasm as not really caring about actually being truthful, then yes, I was being sarcastic. :P

    That's not what sarcasm is. I wish you better literacy in the future as well.

  6. You fail to read sarcasm, then fail to recognize it when it's pointed out to you and then say _I'm_ lost? Wow, you really know how to read stuff. <-The previous sentence was sarcasm.

    This is for you: :tomatoface:

    You are lost. Neblix informed me he wasn't really being sarcastic.

    As much of an ass you've made out of yourself, I am prepared to accept an apology. Either way, I'm wishing you better literacy in the future.

  7. That's neblix' point.

    Just like using a box full of effects doesn't make your guitar playing any better just because you have them.

    No, that is the opposite of their point. It is me whom you agree with. Shall I explain?

    Kidd Cabbage's premise:

    - I never use presets. All my synth sounds come from an Init patch.

    Kidd Cabbage's conclusion:

    - I'm superior when it comes to synth design.

    Neblix's conclusion:

    - [Kidd Cabbage] is "superior" because he knows how to do things from the ground up

    I've argued that those conclusions do not follow the premise. Your guitar example is logically conterminous with my argument.

    cheers.

  8. I read it as he's superior in synth design to people who can't use anything but presets.

    Which makes absolutely perfect sense. If he can do it, and they can't, he's superior in that ability. Whether or not his actual sounds are good is irrelevant, he is "superior" because he knows how to do things from the ground up.

    That conclusion does not follow either. Anyone can start from an init patch and arbitrarily tweak knobs without knowledge or understanding of synthesis. Not superior.
