Upcoming Synapse OB-Xa: Obsession

[Ingonator]

So i posted some Synth Brass demos and around 90% of comments so far are from people who seem to hate Synth Brass sounds. That was not really what i intended when i posted the demos but i did EXPECT that the usual "Synth Brass haters" will post such comments.

IMHO such sounds are an essential part of what analog polysynths are about and most of the famous analog polysynths seemed to be quite popular for such sounds.

You mean that set of demos? Only BOnes has said something negative about them, no?

Others are mostly joking about FInal Coutdown where i do not see a direct relation to my own demos except that a Synth Brass sound was used there but i get the impression that those guys are also joking about Synth Brass sounds in general. Of course i could be wromg about that.

FWIW i don't really agree that the sounds used in Jump and Final Countdown are really that bad like some comments here might make you think. Different tastes i guess and i am a fan of that kind of sounds anyway...

Maybe. I mean I hate both of the mentioned songs but brass sounds are fine.

yup, i laughed at a comment about a song, nothing more.

i have nothing against any particular type of synth sound. they all have their use/places.
sound is sound

i dont even hate the songs, i just probably wouldnt choose to play them. hair metal wasnt my thing back then, i was a 14 year old death metal kid, so i have no attachment to such songs.

Good to hear.

Guess i might be known as the guy who always does Synth Brass sounds (and with OBsession it was quite obvious to do those...) but i have done a lot of other stuff in OBsession too (and also in other synths...) while not all patches are part of the factory content.

I was in Madchester then, hated all rock music

What I loved most in the OB series and am looking forward to most in Obsession are indeed pads and synth brass, so thanks.

Ok then, I was in mcr waiting in 86 for the mad epithet to be added. Saw the Roses play once at the Hac, Hillsborough benefit, but didn't go across to Spike Island.

I'll try to post some more pads demos later. Just started with those.
Warning: Some of them might be a bit "unusual" and/or not "typical OB-Xa".

[zvenx]

.... I much rather Richard release the thing, but definitely looking forward to those. Typical OB-XA or not
