Except that no, samples don't offer that sound-creation possibility. Unless maybe, you re-synthesize them (through clever ways, or more commonly additive re-synthesis)
What utter nonsense. Maybe you cant think of any sound creation possibilities when using samples within a synthesiser architecture, but thats not a limitation for the rest of us.
There's not much you can do with a sample
Yeah, right.
it shows in this thread since the problem of not following the tempo arises.
A sample 'not following tempo' in a specific synth architecture has precisely zero to do with potential synthesis utility of samples.
I'm not claiming that Rhino's architecture is inferior because it can playback samples. I'm claiming that it doesn't make it superior in any way (read: it's a gadget), and when it's used, well you don't get any of the benefits of synthesis anymore.
So you're saying that in Rhino samples cant modulate other samples or sounds? And that you cant waveshape the samples, nor can you ring-modulate them or filter them, or any of those other 'advantages of synthesis' that the non-sample waveforms can be used with.
Hmmmm.
But I could care less. I only care and messed with this thread just in case, marketing-wise, such soundbanks were used to 'show what a synth is capable of'.
Of course you did.
If this ever happened, then every new synth would playback samples, and use great soundbanks to demo themselves, which would make no sense.
Again, pure nonsense.
I listened to the MP3's - those samples are great. But do they come from Rhino?
How does it matter where the original source material came from if it means that Rhino users have access to potentially useful new sounds for use within the tool they own.
Certainly a little, but as it sounds, a very little (for the layering & filtering maybe). Were they recorded from real instruments? Or other synthesizers, soft or hard? And/or post-processed?
Who cares?
Then maybe you should consider getting these synthesizers.
Yeah, because of course that would be both cheaper and simpler than getting this bank.
Or use a sampler that could make a better use of those samples, and as you wish, to stretch them.
Or use Rhino. No wait, apparently there's some critical reason why that's not an option, isnt there? Remind me again? Because something else different could maybe do some sort of stuff with the same samples. Erm, right.
In fact why use any synths, whatsoever? Why not just use a single-oscillator with only sinewave output, and do manual additive synthesis to produce everything? After all, if there's an alternative way of doing it, it must be that using Rhino (or by extension, anything else whatsoever) is completely pointless.
