Dream soft synth?

[recursive one]

Lol, I literally can't think of anything more remote from my dream synth than an iphone app emulating a boring old analogue synth.

Cinebient is in love with the Moog sound Everything that sounds "Moogish" to him is enough to make him feel in heaven.

Tbh I thought that he was in love with iphones

My cat gets happy just trough a ball of paper.....
Indeed, not every Moog makes me happy. Monark and The Legend let me cold for some reasons (but i do love Dune 2).
I feel sad for you guys that you won´t get happy ever maybe
Life sucks and is too short.
And i just like the apps....not the iPhone really.

Well, that too (not just iPhones, but Apple in general, I suspect)

Huh? Maybe you just hate Apple. I really don´t see a reason to hate or love a brand.
But indeed i like Logic a lot but beside that i don´t know what it has to do with Apple if developers won´t support Windoof or Crapdroid

Oh, but I feel happy... many times. Especially when there is music involved.

BTW: One of the instruments that makes me really happy is Falcon... the same Falcon that you seem to not be very happy with. Another one is HALion.

And Zebra... As I said, if Urs would add the sample oscillators, and the sample manipulation/additive/granular stuff I wrote about, that would be very close to my dream synth (maybe just a couple of more specialized filters too)

Oh, but I feel happy... many times. Especially when there is music inmvolved.

BTW: One of the instruments that makes me really happy is exactly Falcon... the same Falcon that you seem to not be very happy with). Another one is HALion.

And Zebra... As I said, if Urs would add the sample oscillators, and the sample manipulation/additive/granular stuff I wrote about, that would be very close to my dream synth (maybe just a couple of more specialized filters too)

Now we can agree....Zebra with sample import (but multi samples please) and OSC as modulation source on any destination would it make my dream synth maybe in a heartbeat.
But that won´t happen.
Falcon is really a powerful tool but maybe it just sucks in my hands on a notebook.
Without multi-core support it´s useless for me yet. And it´s also damn slow compared to Kontakt for large sample libraries.

I'm not critcizing your choises... whatever floats your boat, really. I just wanted to say, literally, an app emulating a Moog is something totally opposite to what I may find interesting, but it's just me.

Luckily there are enough soft synths which make me happy.

Who knows?... (I surely don't, but we are dreaming, right?)

I understand and i was indeed never interested in such a synth and like i said most Minimoog emulations and also the Repro alpha left me totally cold.
If i like what i hear, then i don´t care what it emulates or not. It must speak to me in some ways.
And so far there are a few synths which always succeed to amaze me when i play with them in some ways like f.e.:
Sculpture, P900, Model D iOS, Zeeon iOS, Repro and Alchemy.
But also like i said the best presets i heard are the multi-ones included in Logic or the ones i layer myself.
I still have to explore Infinite and Icarus more in depth which i like too.
ACE is great too and i like the character of it more than Zebra or Bazille.
I think i don´t need any synth anyway but some new FX to surprise me would be nice.
So i look forward to U-he Lyrebird Pro (or however it will be named).

See, here's why I WOULD want a synth that could sound like anything.

Right now, when I do a track, I have to sift through 100 VSTs looking for JUST the right one to do the job that I need done for that particular track. And for songs with 10, 20 or more tracks, I could easily use 10 different VSTs. It gets tiresome looking through all that stuff. With just ONE VST, all I have to do is just pull it up and dial in the sound I want.

That would rid me of so much stuff and make my Cubase load faster since it wouldn't have to read through all those VSTs.

So that's why I'd want just one synth to do it all.

I disagree.

I LIKE the fact that I can't get every sound with a synth. This forces me to think creatively to get as close as possible to the sound I want, which improves my sound sculpting abilities and produces creative sounds that I would never have considered on my own.

Sure, the music in my head is the starting template for what I'm building, but rarely do my tracks ever end up sounding like that. You can call me a bad sound designer if you wish, but I'd rather think of my mistakes as experiments that often produce better results than I had originally thought of.

Also, I think of a synth as an instrument, like a piano or guitar. Both of these instruments are obviously limited in what sounds they can make, and that's part of the fun of playing them, adapting them to fit the music/mood as best as possible, yet still being forced to play around their limitations in creative ways. Synths are already able to generate more types of sounds than any acoustic instrument, to the point that they almost feel "cheap" to use. For this reason, unless I'm writing a purely electronic piece, I try to limit my usage of synths to one per song, and then decide on a synth that sounds fun to use, and then try to use it to do whatever I feel like is needed in the song, whether it's more bass, pads in the background, or a lead solo. Only with rare exceptions will I change synths in the middle of a song, use multiple synth tracks, or write parts that I feel a human couldn't perform live. Perhaps it's just a personal preference, having grown up listening to mostly rock and jazz, but I really feel it sucks the fun out of writing.

And come on, there's no way anyone needs 100 synths (unless by 100 VSTs you've including things that aren't synths, in which case you should organize them in folders to make life easier for you!) Having just a few (one additive/subtractive, one wavetable, one rompler-ish, one analog-sounding) is more than enough to get you close enough to any sound you can imagine. You just have to learn these synths inside-out and think creatively and you can get sounds that you never imagined out of them.

First of all, I have over 100 synths and/or sound generation things.

Second of all, what exactly are you disagreeing with? I said "I" would like a synth that does everything. And explained why. you're not in charge of my life and the things that "I" want. You want to do things YOUR way? Great! Power to you. And I respect your right to do things that way. There's nothing to agree or disagree with. This isn't a question of agreeing or disagreeing. We each have our own preferences. I respect yours. Al I ask is that you respect mine.

Sheesh.

Wow, no need to get pissy about it.

I'm disagreeing with the idea that anyone needs that amount of synths. Even if your job is music production, you probably would do better just learning a few synths and mastering them so that you can use them to make nearly any sound possible. Of course, I'm excluding things like modeled instruments, which I can see the need to buy to get a unique sound. But having that many synths is simply redundant and probably counter-productive as well.

Regardless though, there's no reason to come at me with that attitude.

Ooops, double post.

But if you already have an iPad or iPhone...

Why would someone spend money on that sh!t?

I have a smartphone comparable to an iPhone 8+ and I paid 200 euros for it.

Same reason people buy Rolex and Gucci. Status symbols.

Finally someone admits that iPhone supposed advantage is merely "status" (which means it is overpriced, as happens usually with ALL Apple products).

Since I am not a "Gucci" guy or a "Rolex" guy, nor would I ever be even if I had the money to have them (that "status" thing is usually defined as "nouveau riche" and the meaning of the word is not at all aggreable) I would never be a iPhone guy either, and I fight that mentality. I would rather spend my money helping those that are less fortunate than me
