If I can put it to proper use will be the question. I'm not much of a synth programmer, more of a keyboardist... 
I totally agree with you. My G.A.S didn't stop until last year. I have owned a LOT of gear from 2002-2006 and made less music than I hoped I would.GeeJee wrote:I think Equinoxe is talking about the GAS (Gear Acquiring Syndrome) - it's more about having the thing than actually using it. A lot of people go drooling and wooaah at only dreaming about owning a vintage 2600, but as soon as they have acquired one, they don't even put it to proper use. I have seen a lot of pictures of studios which are packed to the brim with analog gear worth tens of thousands of euros... and the music made by the owners... well, they may as well have used some cheap shit cause it sounds really shitty. After all it's all about owning the thing. A 'real' musician/artist doesn't necessarily need that specific old oberheim or whatever to put his ideas into practise. Of course everybody can dream of owning that kind of stuff, but you have to realize that most of the sounds can easily be reproduced by the gear of today. Then don't go and say... "the ARP has this specific sound" - cause very few of those GAS suffering people actually know what they talk about. There's only a handfull of purists who can tell the difference. And much of this 'I-desperately-want-a-vintage'-talk is all about "I want to sound like Vangelis and his CS80" - but this kind of sound is not hard to reproduce on a VA of today, and the CS is capable of much more things a lot of people don't even know about...
I mean - it's all about owning and 'doing what they did'. Pointless, if you ask me.
People owning a few of those vintage bears and producing really decent music themselves? They are very small in number I think.
It's all about owning them, really. Not that I don't want a 2600 myself, surely
If you know how to program a synth and what parameters make up a given sound you can program any sound you want,As I've said elsewhere,what tells a synth apart is its filter texture and responce times,you can easily replicate Moog sounds providing the synth has the same sort of Filter type(Moog 24 dB Low pass)and the Nord is more than capable of replicating most synths,Perhaps even more better than some because its a raw sound that sounds more Analog because its not swamped by effects.To me the Nords are more closer to Analogs than the majority of the other VA.Jakob BC wrote:My Nord Lead 2x has a performance bank of patches that is supposed to be a recreation of the original Prophet 5 patches. Still it isn't a Prophet 5 but it was suprising how good they were recreated. The synchlead used in among others "L'Ouveture" from CiC is there. I did also find a ptach that sounded completely like that sololead in the last part of Magnetic Fields 1, as Vince posted some time ago as being from the OBX. I don't know if Jarre used the P5 for that album and Vince might be right, the similarity just hit me.
I did also find some YMO patches
Funny enough I was reading this yesterday over on the Clavia site. They say there are just a little over 40 of the P5 patches in the NL2x.Jakob BC wrote:My Nord Lead 2x has a performance bank of patches that is supposed to be a recreation of the original Prophet 5 patches.

Hmmm... Regarding Oxygene 4:olivier_0001 wrote:question about separating effect with MP7 used in oxygene 4:
Guiro : use small stone ?
Quijada : delay L / R
can you confirm ?
small stone is used for another MP7 instrument ?
I think you meant oxy 7, because the laserharp was used at the begun of the showArmandox wrote:
I also heard someone say here that the laserharp triggered the Eminent for Oxygene 8 during the Oxygene 7-13 tour.
You must be aware of that JMJ had his Eminent (or Eminents) Midified. On the other hand he could also have used a sampler for the tour.Armandox wrote:I also heard someone say here that the laserharp triggered the Eminent for Oxygene 7 during the Oxygene 7-13 tour. This has and will never be done as the E310 has no CV or MIDI input. The laserharp triggers the Elka Synthex or a sampler (which was the case on the Oxy 7-13 tour).
Very interesting, especially the MIDIfication of his Eminent(s). That is something I have to delve into as I'm picking up my mint condition E310U tomorrowArmandox wrote:You must be aware of that JMJ had his Eminent (or Eminents) Midified.

Regarding the Oxygene 8 lead, as it looks now some has found out that the Eminent (again) was used for this lead. Otherwise I would always have thought it to be from the Minimoog. This is still an open question to me.
Anyway it was interesting to read you arguments
No worries... I'll make some multisamples of it and pack it, then post 'em here so y'all can enjoy these fine sounds...Jakob BC wrote:Congrats man! I'd like to have one myself but the organsize is a problem here.
