Wow, thanks! :) I've never been sure what the image of Italians is abroad - except for mafia, pizza and mandolins, that is ;-) - but I'm glad I contributed to change it ;-P (OK, I'm not exactly a fan of my country...)

Well humble and sensitive is not the stereotype Italian is it.. ;) And that's all I have to go on apart from the 2 weeks I spent in Rome with my gorgeous but oh-so-crazy Roman girlfriend and her classical old-school jealous father, being cheated by the taxi driver from the airport and verbally abused by the hotel clerk for not allowing him to leave my passport in the key cubbyhole (wtf?).. :x

OK, that's very typically Italian ;-) However, there's one thing to say about this country: every region is very different. So you will not find the same defects everywhere, but.. new ones in each region :P :hihi: :hihi:

Totolitoto, you didn't only put me off any new virtual intruments in the near future, you also made me reconcider throwing away most of the stuff i've got. You showed me that the fantastic Synth1 can do practically anything.

Thank you and a BIG thanks to Ichiro Toda!

A well deserved win!

Cheers

Yeah, there's a hell of a lot more to Italy than just one Cornetto! :hihi:

Mandolins? yeah! my electric twelve string, my gig mandolin, was once an acoustic 12 string Italian mando!

Dont forget Accordians!! The main man in my ceilidh band plays an italian accordian cos they're the best in the world, and his italian wife is about to give birth to his second Scots/italian child.

The World Cup is coming up, and the holders?? ( yeah the same mob who cheated Scotland out of Euro2008!! :-o )

Anyway, back on topic ... I've spent about 4 hours on the participants prize, and it's still not finished!! ... it would have been, but I had to add some extra wow factor ... so bear with me guys, this is a cool plug!

Imagine you feed in a boring chord, and you can split it int 3 freq bands, amp mod each band independently, pan/autopan each band independently, ... or feed any aspect to an inverse of the LFO which mods one or more parameters, not only choose the wave shape of the chosen LFO, but have a controllable 'squarize' function, and to add insult to injury, feed the whole lot into a mod delay with a continuous stereo/mono/L-R swap mode ... I'm nearly there .... if only I could stop playing a single note, setting some extreme whooshy sounds, and drifting away to some planet far, far away from Italy! :hihi:

Its the weekend, schools out so I dont suppose I'll get any further on the film soundtrack ... so I'm gonna bang on with this plug .. and maybe even get my OSC14 track in shape :) .... whatever shape that may be!!! :hihi:

Believe it or not, that's what I wish I could do, lately :( :( :wink:

(I had forgotten about your mandolin... nice! Do I get any bonus points for that on the next OSC? ) :hihi:

You want the short answer?? :hihi:

Well, as I just posted in the 'current' thread ... i.e. OSC14!!! ... I'm gonna go try and tame madtracker! ... wish me luck!! :help:

Actually, there is spaghetti... anda' meata' ball! :hihi: , sorry my Mexican accent is much better! :oops: And I think the Chinese invented spaghetti? and gun powder? and the theremin? :hihi:

All kidding aside, the Mandolin has a very long history here in KY. USA, I've actually thought of getting one and having a MIDI pickup add...umm an OMC any one? :hihi:

In fact... I didn't understand :P But that might be because I'm from the north, while the only image of Italians you guys abroad have is that of southerners - The Sopranos, anyone? :wink: The dialect we speak in this region is more or less this which really has nothing at all to do with those from the south :wink:

I'm not good with mandolins, but when I was 15 I played this http://www.cambratech.it/Immagini/affettauovo.jpg (really), so how about an OAC? :P :hihi:

Actually, I deliberately left Italian foodstuffs out ... because, gorgeous tho they may be, they are almost exclusively bellybusting material ... or at least, the cheap, fast food chain equivalents we normally encouter in there 'ere parts certainly are!

.... eg. A good pizza is a feast of
veg-fruits, aromatic herbs, spices, and a topping of cheese to enhance ... whereas, if you buy one in an Edinburgh chip shop, it's a lump of stodgy, starchy, flatbread with a thin smearing of tomato puree, cheddar, and green specks ( which become black when it is ... ) deep fried in very hot fat for two minutes, and sprayed with brown sauce ( in a manner suggesting the 'pizza' is a rapist and the brown sauce is pepper spray ) ... which,
( possibly mercifully ) completely covers up any flavour the pizza may have had which might have survived the incineration! .... and then if you dont have chips with it, then you get looked at as if your even wierder than the process you have just paid to witness! :-o

... Nothing wrong with olives tho! ... good stuff!

:hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: Sounds a bit like the pizza I had in France once... the waiter assured me it was pizza, but I would have never guessed ;-) The one you described is (partially and vaguely) similar to what here is called fried pizza (which I never tried, by the way)...

Yeah, we have a few umm "good ol' boy/ down home" dialects in Kentucky, but my mother took English in collage and taught me to speak well, so the deeper into the KY "country" area I go the more I'm asked "are you from Scotland" to which I respond, "Noooo, I'm from Senegal!" :hihi:

But you can call me the most well spoken KY redneck you know ! :hihi:

We do tend to have a deal of stereo types in our media.I've never cared a lot for stereo types in media but I guess it gets the point across. But as a typical aka stereo typical white kid from the suburbs I did have very long hair and listened to my share of Ozzy and AC DC growing up.

kinda like the Asian buffet here in the US is not exactly Asian, its more Chicken and Rice with a lot of sugar in the form of brown gravy :D

I do like the music in the video! It reminds me that I'd like learn another language. May be Italian ?

I could learn Korean as there is a Korean family who lives next door, there sons speak perfect English but the parents still have very thick accents.
