the noise gen in the rogue is a bit lame compared with that of the pro-1,
the yamaha cs-series or contemporaneous rolands. it does that awful looping
thing that was discussed on the list a while back, making it pretty much
unusable. funny- the noise gen in the mg-1 doesn't sound the same. my
newly-acquired memorymoog (lamm) doesn't suffer from this; it's noise gen
sounds more like the kind of racket that the modular moogs make. it's used
in one patch to mimic the breathy attack of a flute, and it's remarkably
convincing for an analogue synth. and it goes f*cking loud.
my band doesn't use the white noise much for effects, tho' the iceberg
crashes on one album were slowed-down noise, chopped up by an old powertran
delay box. we use sequenced/filtered white noise for percussion, though.
maybe we should start using sequenced/filtered bits of "green green grass"
or "delilah" and see what happens.
