[sdiy] my musical ideas & my guitar synth

[anthony]

Aha... The Synthi AKS had a sequencer.... I didn't know that. But that still 
begs the question: why didn't Roger Waters use it more? I think I found the 
video you are referring too and he is indeed messing with a Synthi, but he's 
in a room full of other stuff.

I'm pretty sure I could listen to a whole album of 8-step sequence bits of 
songs with timbres being tweaked. Improvised timbre: a rich area that I 
still think has yet to be explored as in depth as possible. Digital synths 
might allow for a much broader palette, but I still think it's easier to hit 
the richer spots with analog synth gear...
