Under /dsp/stobe, are the one's labelled "andy" also strobe demos? Because if so, I'm shitting myself in a fit of uncontrollable joy here over how analog "andydancearp.mp3" sounds.

Yes, the example http://www.vellocet.com/dsp/strobe/AndyDanceArp.mp3 is me playing Strobe live with a midi keyboard, the arp on and moving some faders. All those examples are comletely dry, no compression, no nothing. They weren't even rendered down using a higher than real time oversample. That preset has a really slow velocity glide so hitting the keys harder or softer brings the filter up or down, then there was another controller hooked up to filter drive, and another to osc self sync.

Well, I think it's safe to say that you're a genius when it comes to analog modeling then.

I used to feel like I was missing out by being dongle-free thanks to the korg analog edition... Now I've found something that will more than satisfy my lust for that sort of thing. I just hope it isn't too expensive.

Yes, deadmau5 used Strobe on Faxing Berlin, Clockwork, Not Excatly, and a few other songs. He also uses lots of analog kit and other plugins.

Just FYI, 'strobe_nebulous', 'strobe_mycelium', 'amber_glowing_circuits', 'amber_solar_vibes', 'cypher_funkynightmares' and 'cypher_memories_of_a_droid' don't have any effects on the synth sounds at all. Yes there are drums and multiple sounds but we've been slated before for not providing demos in a more 'finished song' context, so that's what we tried to do. We can understand both sides, and the best thing is to find a balance - by the time Andy's done today there should be more of a mix between song sketches and raw synth sounds.

Yep, my bad not having them done earlier, busy busy.

Let me clarify this, there are no insert of send effects on the synths themselves, but there is a very subtle buss compression on the entire mix provided by Fusor's inbuilt buss compressor, which is the same one that features in BFD2.

Memories of a droid has no effects other than subtle mix buss compression?

That's the audio demo that originally convinced me I needed this pack. Sounds like that are just... Amazing. That track sold me on cypher and then your examples sold me on strobe... Amber is the only thing I haven't heard anything outright kickass from yet.

To be fair, I'm not really "into" spacey chorused pads.

Is the music that starts at about 01:55 during the video at Synthsquad.com available somewhere to download? Except the drums, is this all just the new synths? Such a cool track!

I'm really impressed with the look and sound of these
