Re: New Serge Demo on YouTube

It maybe a cliché to get existed about filters, but damn they are so
important for the soundshaping in a synth! I mean with a great filter
with enormous range your halfway there finding your favourite,
special sounds.

Thanks for pointing that out. I'll memorize the left gate output.
When I get my Creature and Triple Osc. I'm not going for the quickest
way to find something suitable. No. I'm doing it slow. Patch one
thing, listen how it sound, what it is I'm hearing, trying to analyse
what's happening. For me that's the best way to proceed, to learn the
trade!

I'm looking forward to the new Serge cd. The old one was I think
pretty amazing.

Ah, I know what you mean. That's true, weird noise you can have in a
jiffy, but musical interesting sounds take time and precision. And
you have noise and noise.
