Hm...i understand what you mean, but why so polemic?

Did anyone of the "dotcom"-musicians ever come back to tell us what
patches they use on their AN1x for their music? They just popped in,
posted their URL and disappeared in "vurtual" nirvana.

I have nothing against softsynths, as long as i don“t have to read
promotions for unoriginal sounds made with it.

Mhm..... you're right. This was too polemic, maybe it was not my day, sorry
for that.

But I join bands about 25 years. During this time I've met a lot of
musicians.
I depend on playing live because it's the only income I have. So I play a
lot with different people.
And I really don't like the attitude to judge people wich have a different
approach to music. (I often see this among musicians)
I can remember the time when Jasper van't Hof (hope that I type the name
right -keyboarder of Pork Pie)
have said that he would never use a synth -just organ and rhodes-.
But he wasn't more serious than Joe Zawinul........I guess.
Some years later Rick Wakeman said that he only use sequencers not faster
than he can play with his fingers.

Today thoose statements are nice and funny to remember, but not important.
What I want to say is that an instrument -like AN1- is just an instrument -a
tool- nothing more.
The crucial point is still the music, the idea the something you deliver to
the audience.

I like this list and I've learned a lot.
How to create sounds is an important item but to me it's also important to
listen to your music.
If anyone is able to post mp3's of his AN related music anywhere. I would
love to listen.
Not to mention the possibility to exchange midi songs with AN sys ex's. And
to work upon it as an open project.


Like it or not. I like it.

Rolf
