re: Presets

2002-06-12 by spaceanimals

It's nice to have your own sounds rather than presets. With any VA 
synth, this is not as much of an issue because all the knobs and 
controllers give you a high degree of individual expression.

I don't like the presets on the AN1X so I'm in the process of writing 
over all of them. I'm keeping #33 Wonder and a couple of the special 
effects but that's it.

The presets are nice as a tutorial. See what they set the mod wheel 
on-see what they use FM for and osc sync etc, then come up with your 
own sounds that are even better.

Terry Lewis one of the best dance producers in the country only uses 
presets. His theory is professionals are hired to create these sounds 
and he doesn't have the time to roll his own.

I disagree with him. 

I am not quite as successful as he-yet.
