Sampler/drum machine!

A Sean Tyas co-developed synth! He apparently would like to make one, so that's totally something u-he should do!

Would be interesting to see what ideas he has.

He also seems to quite like Hive (hey, he even has a track called Hive now - albeit not for that reason, heh). He also had a few warm words about Urs, which of course makes sense as Urs and the gang are awesome.

And proof of both things (because it's available!): https://www.facebook.com/seantyasmusic/ ... 039869808/
Comment about synth development at 1:12:56
Continued synth development, with Urs praise at 1:13:47

There's also comments about Hive, in relation to Sylenth and Spire talk, somewhere in the beginning, but didn't want to search for that now.

So yeah, Sean Tyas is seemingly up for it. How about you, Urs (once you get some time)?

I, for one, would like to see this happen!

Trance (and soon DnB as well) music producer.

Should probably also mention that he's one of the big names, not some random guy who's just sort of had a hit or two.

Never heard of Sean Tylas, then again I didn't heard of Tahnaniya Russell" until yesterday

Anyway, in most cases a producer has some really specific needs (such as Hans Zimmer for movie music), I doubt most dance music producers have specific needs, maybe more and more and more saw tooth with the trance guys.

This certainly might be the case, but on the other hand he might have some interesting ideas. We don't know and probably won't unless a synth is made (assuming it's worth being made). But before that happens things should be set in motion, the right people need to talk. At least now it's "out there", as opposed to nobody hearing about it, because nobody said anything.

u-he might not even be the best fit, even if Sean has some fancy ideas that could be worthwhile doing, but it's a start at least.

Then it's kind of up to Urs and Sean to decide if they want to talk - that doesn't cost anything after all.

Of course they are:
chicago house -- piano like envelopes, wt/fm for pseudo read basses, chord memory,
detroit techno -- analog warmness and kilometer delays
trap -- 808 like bandpass filter basses, pinch like decats
etc

Yep and most if not all of that is covered by various synths already. I rather let u-he work on a new paradigm that creates a totally new musical direction, that's when the fun starts (Massive - brostep, Akai - sampler hiphop and so on...)

Since iZotope seem so keen to forget their period of collaboration with BT, i'd guess it wasn't an all too successful venture.

I hate it when a product is linked to a certain artist tho if it's Zimmer it's okay i think..

As we can see in the last comments, this would be a bad move (establishing a partnership with an EDM prod.) since one would have trouble to find any music genre more controversial than EDM. No matter if this guy is good or sucks at what he does, you will find the EDM crowd to fall in love with the project and everyone else probably just hating it, which in the end would jeopardize Uhe reputation.

What could happen with Hans Zimmer cannot be declined easily, for many reasons ; because the "movie score" genre is not a controversial one, because even if HZ has got his own sound, he has to adapt to whatever film he's hired for, which means his productions, over time, gained enough diversity not to be - too much - catalogued. (Ten or fifteen years ago I used to see to guy as a the Michael Bay of music, a pompous hymn factory by himself... Happily there's a world between "crimson tides" and Inception).

I see myself much like an artist. I thrive on turning my own ideas into reality. I don't really feel very motivated to work somebody else's designs.

That said, inspiration is important. If someone has got great ideas that trigger me, I'm all ears. However, collaborations are typically synonymous to commitments. We've tried a couple of times to figure something out along the lines of licensing our stuff or working collaboratively, but it never panned out. We're too busy doing our own stuff. There isn't enough room to join into such a commitment and any such endeavour would probably end up in regret, and a lesser product.

What about a drum machine that can synthesize LOTS of sounds? A kind of "the last drum machine you'll ever need"? Every single drum machine has only 1 clap type, 1 kick ... Its like to have 5 samples with variations. You would never say that about normal synthesizer. I think it's time develope away from these 80s-like extremly limited drum machines to really useful tools that are speciallized on a wide variety of percussion sounds. Best would be to combinate this with really intelligent pattern generator. There aren't many well thought midi tools on the market, I see there also space for innovation.

If I've missed a tool: sorry. But as far as I can see nobody did that. Because it's impossible? Or nobody is interested? Can't believe that.
