Disappointment in hardware synths

[Forgotten]

mmmm legwarmers

Did you piss your pants again?

[vurt]

I keep coming back to this topic but find myself at a loss for words. KVR, where we’ll argue about anything. Like analog synths being mere toys. Kraftwerk not being a band. The rise of synthpop being thanks to presets rather than affordable synths.

i think you'll find the rise of synth pop was due to hair spray. (strange that hair metal was around the same time...).

I thought it was parachute pants & leg warmers

Don’t forget make up applied with a paint roller. That has to be at least partly responsible.

im sticking with the hairspray, it was the gases.

That may not be so far from the truth if you look to one specific year...

To be fair, it was both really.

If creating patches from scratch every time gets your motor running then good for you. Everyone else gratefully moved on somwhere around 1980, until a recent and mildly inexplicable craze for the good ol' days.

The perculiar drive for faux authenticity takes many forms.

It's not "everyone else," as there are entire communities of people who are into modular, analog synths, tape... doing things "the hard way" which honestly is not that hard.

I don't tour, and I don't care about instant recall of sounds I've made before to perform the same thing over and over again. I got tired of that as a taiko drummer. I'd rather make new things.

It has nothing to do with "faux authenticity" either. I believe "authenticity" is mostly bullshit, people fooling themselves and trying to fool others too. I have no interest in trying to imitate Jarre or Tomita or Tangerine Dream or Kraftwerk or whoever. I'm making my own stuff with the tools I want to use in the way I want to use them. It happens that presets are not a required, nor particularly useful part of that.
