Nice track Dendy!

Alternatively, I've just grabbed a copy via the AudioBus forum here: https://forum.audiob.us/discussion/25684/sound-on-sound-synth-secrets-series-in-pdf-format

@dendy... start here: https://www.soundonsound.com/search/articles/%22Synth%20Secrets%22?solrsort=ds_created%20asc&f%5B0%5D=im_field_subject%3A8106

So it doesn’t get hidden... User defined folders in patch bank management! A must have! A random bollocks patch title generator would be a cool feature too. ;-)
-
User self-defined folders. Yes. This is a serious omission in my humble opinion. I forgot that it was discussed at some point, but remembering to remember to remember to mention because this thing goes soooooooooo deeeeeeeeep is something that I must remember to remember to remind myself to err.... remind Matt to…

On the other hand, Tangerine Dream's Edgar Froese used a similar technique (he also used glissando guitar) on his LP 'Aqua', where a Farfisa organ (also used by Pink Floyd) was heavily processed using a chain of phasers and echo machines to create this mesmerising sound that comes in at around 3.40mins into the track. So…

Or Hillage's 'Rainbow Dome Musick'? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xouYRHMx-6w

To get simple prog-style stuff, you only really need to replicate Analogue, which is pretty easy. Genesis' main synth was the Arp Pro-Soloist. Same with Camel I believe. Pink Floyd were really into their EMS VCS3's and later Minimoog. Bands like Yes, Gong etc used guitars to create their spacey effects- in particular using…
-
I'm fairly up on my prog. Camel. There's a name I haven't heard in a while (good cigarettes too- as long as they're American soft packet!) Moonmadness was a good Camel recording if my memory serves me right. As for Genesis, their best was The Lamb lies down on Broadway. Although respect due where respect due etc... The…

Fear not, for it is coming, just as soon as we officially release Blip from rehab. We had to section him complete with straitjacket and handcuffs and pump him full of happy gas as well as pills, because 6 years of being locked in Blip Towers was giving him not only the fear, but severe cabin fever too. A few more cold…

The trick @LesT is to play with the envelopes and LFO's setting them to both cyclic as well as very slow modes.
-
I think if you want something unique, you have to get your hands dirty and make your own. This can be initially daunting, especially with a synth as complex as Obsidian, but the tools to make huge evolving pads are all there within Obsidian. The trick is to use multi-layering with an emphasis on using the built-in FX. A…

Nice track Lee!

For the record, when moving parts in the Arrange window in Logic, Logic always asks if you wish to also move controller data, which if you answer 'yes', it keeps moving it from there onwards each and every time parts or tracks are moved or edited. But I feel your pain @drez. Very frustrating until it gets fixed. (Which it…
-
Looks like a bug to me. But good call @Audiogus +1 from me too.
-
More satisfied customers. Brilliant stuff! Rest assured, Blip will work his arse off over the next few months making NS2 even better.
-
That's a drag. I hope you get it sorted out eventually though. Notation is an important and yet often overlooked necessity of any 'professional' music app. It used to infuriate my wife when she suggested modifications to music I'd written in NS1, but then realised there was only a piano roll editor. These classically…
-
@JimHanks the 'bad' file is working fine in NS1. It's 150bpm. Sounds fine on playback.

Most of this is all Apple's fault anyway. Apple failed to realise just how successful iOS was going to be- hardly surprising when their marketing team largely were looking at Palm apps like Datebook and trying to figure out how to pair a phone with an Apple Newton. I don't think they even entertained the fact that a…
-
Sorry, it probably was a bit too harsh a comment, so I apologise for that. :)
-
Okay. It sounds as if it could be a bug in Notion. Actually I've suggested that something like Notion should be incorporated into NS2 at some point, as there is no DAW available that has advanced synthesis capabilities as well as musical notation. I honestly believe the latter would catapult NS2 into the pro-territory…
-
Quieter is in fact better, as it means far more headroom. And if we're dealing with higher sample rates, better S/N ratios. And of course better dynamics. It's actually very cool that NS2 can be tweaked in this way, as it behaves more like a traditional mixing desk.
-
I guess the problem just like @Fruitbat1919 pointed out, the developers haven't really grasped the click and drag thing which could be done, but not so in the existing AUv3 format- or at least what I know. So it stays as a synth, even though it doesn't make any sound. Unfortunately until people figure out that both AB as…
-
It somewhat irks me that they expect us to pay again for v4, which may include AUv3. This happened to me with Audulus 2, then 3 was released, which I then had to purchase all over again. Not that A3 is that great either seeing it has no option for sampling built in (I should have read the small print. But AUv3 would be…
-
And I used to use Tuareg. It was an awesome little sequencer.
-
@dendy note 'Apple' in front of 'desktop'! I am actually right! Hammerhead, Tuareg sequencer... etc were all Windows!
-
Yup. All good. We need to test this baby, and if the public can get involved too, all the better. :)
