Re: [xl7] Re: Still a call for blank ROMs?

James:

I think that makes a lot of sense. While I know I can create
great-sounding (to me) multisamples that are well-looped and so on,
they may not be to your taste. One way a FLASH SIMM vendor could
overcome that is by offering instrument groups a la carte - that way,
you could pick and choose the sounds you wanted from a menu of
selections. Hopefully some would be to your taste.

That said, offering a service to map out user-supplied waves could
also be an option. As a service, my sense is that it would not come
cheap. There is a lot of work involved in that process.

If I was going to create a ROM, I think my focus would be on synthy
spectra with longer loops, derived from a mix of modular synthesis,
FM, and physical modeling. Analog-flavor waves have been done
well-enough IMO, although including a basic set would take little
space anyway.


cheers,
Ian
