Yeah now that you mention it, isn't the purpose of pop music to make stinky cheese accessible to the masses?TVD wrote:Seriously, any keyboard synth can be use to create cheese.
Rhodes and B3 are the cheesiest instruments ever.

Got that right. I used to do alot of session programming. When the D50 came out I bought one, blew all the stock sounds away and totally re-patched it with useful sounds for session work. Trouble was folks had heard all those factory sounds and were somehow godsmacked by them all. I would get these good sounds up only to have them say something like, "Do you have that cool "Chorale" sound on this thing?"TVD wrote:Even a Roland D-50 & Korg M1 were used to create cheese.
That used to just kill me to have to shove that Factory Soundbank card in the slot after all my hard programming.

I know you're trying really, really hard to be facetious, but you... well, you've failed.butter wrote:Seeing as how a Rhodes and a B3 go into every single song that I produce I'm not entirely sure how to take this thread. While we're at..Moogs are cheesy, so are Korgs, and Oberhiems, and anythine Roland makes, and any digital synth, and any other analogue synth. Hell, drums are cheesy, so are stringed instruments. You knwo what else? Every time i hear the human voice on top of any of these cheesy instruments it makes the human voice cheesy too. You know, nature is pretty cheesy too. I mean, it's everywhere! Give it a rest nature! I'm getting tired of gravity rearing it's ugly head all the time too.
The B3 and Rhodes are the epitomization of cheese in modern music. I haven't heard your music, but I would suggest that you seriously consider its potential cheese factor -- the fact that you are using these two instruments in every song is of great concern to me. I know I may seem heavy handed in this approach, but I only want whats best for your music.

Rhodes and B3? Nah, sinthesiser brarse is the most cheese. In fact any manner of sinth 'lead' in a 1974 stylee is utter cheese.

Oh and another thing! Gated. Reverb. Toms.
Sodding cripes do those sound cheesy... and they single-handedly provided the entire "80's" sound to the world.

Now, I don't want to argue with you, because Rhodes and Hammond sounds are kind of used in a certain cheesy niche that sucks, especially when it's overdone.the_nihilist wrote:Seriously, I don't know if it can get any cheesier than those two "classic" instruments.

BUT. Back in the day, it was AWESOME to have a Rhodes. You could actually play with guitars with their Orange and Marshall amps, and with loud drums. Just with the built in speaker and amp on the suitcase. Likewise, a Hammond was not only big enough to play on stage with anybody, but if you could play with your feet you didn't need a bass player. And with a leslie, you've got this huge sound that's being projected everywhere in the room, something the other instruments don't have. The sound is *huge*. This is something that's usually lost in a mix -- something you actually have to tone down quite a bit. Something that fat can hardly be called merely "cheesy"
It was a *long* time before there was anything to replace either of these instruments. Now that I said that, I can't think of anything that really would replace them.

i hope you guys dont like any synth with >1 rampwave, lp filter, and unison detune because they were used for tarnce 
like one guy said. Any synth can make cheese and any synth can make non-cheese.

And what, praytell, kind of music do you make? Why do you feel the need for everyone to conform to this extremely narrow view of acceptable sounds?the_nihilist wrote:I know you're trying really, really hard to be facetious, but you... well, you've failed.butter wrote:Seeing as how a Rhodes and a B3 go into every single song that I produce I'm not entirely sure how to take this thread.
