Well I still plan on it, but I'm not in the business, others are, but aren't
doing anything.  However, that's a bit like telling a magician to videotape
himself performing a magic act and then play it back so he can watch
himself.  I expect to hear synth music from others, as I'm already familiar
with my own stuff that would go onto a CD.

BTW I hope nobody got the impression that I was saying the new Bhatia CD was
no good.  I may well be interesting in itself and very well done.  It just
isn't really a synth CD, nor satisfy the 2.5+ decade synthesis vacancy left
by synthesists like Tomita or Carlos.

Since I just uploaded this to another forum, might as well to this dead list
too.  It's an attempt to get acoustic piano tones out of a simple synth, in
this case a Multimoog (could be just about any simple synth) and in this
case a cheap Behringer Virtualizer multi-effects unit.  It was sampled into
an E4K to be played.  It's got lots of problems and is a bit quirky, but I
may be able to port the idea to Reaktor and solve the problems and improve
it for actual use.  This is part of a bunch of new concepts I've come up
with to use outboard effects to generate sophisticated and complex sounds
from the simplest and cheesiest synth tones fed into them.  Three different
piano tones in this short demo:
