Thanks for the compliments. I've had some of the stuff sitting around for months. I figured I'd throw some up online.

>>Next up will be my main system, and then on headphones. A related question I have for Elhardt - What kind of audio system are you using (headphones, speakers, amps)?<<
The headphones I use are either Sony MDR-7506, or sometimes Sennheiser HD280. I try to get stuff to sound reasonably good in those. My stuff actually sounds a bit bigger and bolder on the Sennheisers. All my other headphones have things I don't like, such as muffled sound, thin sound, boxy sound, lack of highend detail. For speakers I have Alesis Monitor Two's. But not all of my stuff always sounds good on them. My amp is a Hafler. But don't take all the demos to be great examples of mixing or EQing or whatever. I'm usually focusing on other things in them.
>>Thanks for posting the Synergy piece, that was my favorite (of course ;-).<<
If I ever get to doing the full piece (about 10 minutes long), I plan on using the Andromeda for it.
>>I especially liked the parts at 46 seconds, and at 1.25. The (presumably) SBF-325 flanger on the 1.25 bass patch was great!<<
Actually, that's the Moog 12 Stage Phaser.
>>Oh, and it only took a day or LESS for some of these pieces?! Heck, it takes me that long to find my patch cords!!<<
I don't like to spend anymore than a day or two for little tests like these. When I get serious, then I'll spend weeks.

Nothing yet. I'm gearing up to start on something soon. Cubase is so full of bugs, now I have to look for another music application. I seem to be always fighting with something.
>>It was interesting to hear your Dotcom piece and compare that to the MOTM recordings. I've heard demos of both, but not by the same programmer and the same musical style. That was the closest to a "shootout" that I've heard of the oscillators.<<
Don't use the Corelli piece to judge. I don't like the general tone of it. And I wouldn't but too much into the other two baroque pieces because things can sound quite different after being sped up. A while back on the AH list when one person was posting myths about Moog oscillators, I did a side-by-side comparison, and there was zero audible difference between MOTM and Dotcom sawtooth and square/pulse waves (probably not much between the others either). Any differences will be in the chain of modules after the oscs.
>>I would love it if you explained a bit about how you approach vocal patches. I heard a glint of vocals in the Bach_Style piece and they sounded very impressive.<<
There are no vocal patches. Perhaps whatever I used to get a full orchestrated synth sound draped in reverb is reminding you of such a thing. And that's a bunch of different timbres all at the same time, so there's no way to describe that.
