I think what a lot of people lose sight of and get lost in is that many synths are more than capable of creating a wide pallet of sounds. They may go about it in different ways but the end results are, more or less, the same to a degree. No, synth X won't sound exactly the same as synth Y, but those differences, in the context of the mix, are almost meaningless.kokotte wrote:i think, we can start a new harmor topic without bashing, no?
and for close it:
Harmor = best additive resynthesizer?
YEs Harmor resynthesise so well but sometimes a sampler with a lot of process is good too:).
for me it's not the main power of harmor.
you can demoing alchemy, euh, no, it's over...
or Loom or virsyn, razor..... and listen,
do what you want but don't make a tiny war about it
let's speak about the differents filters,oct,hz, the custom unisson, the blur......
I've offered to do this many times but it seems nobody really cares or dismisses it as meaningless.
Create a track with 20 some odd synths. Make sure each one clearly stands out in the mix. See who can identify which synth. I think a lot of people would be surprised at which sounds were made by which synths.
Of course the problem with something like this is that not everybody is familiar with the sounds of every synth out there. I'm certainly not. So many synths won't be identifiable to many people.
And there are other problems that I won't get into here.
What I have a problem with is all the synth bias. All the "my synth is better than your synth" and "this synth is great for this but sucks for that" that goes on in this business.
Back in the 70s and 80s we didn't have this nonsense. We bought a synth and we used it for just about anything. The proof of that is all over rock and roll and electronic history.
We seem to have lost sight of that and it bothers me.
Harmor can easily be used for many musical genres. It doesn't have to be a "weird sounds synth" or a "basic house EDM whatever" synth. I can be both. Just like a lot of synths can be both.
So having said that, if anybody wants to talk about something constructive in this thread, I'm all for it. If not, I really don't want anything to do with the conversation.
The post I'm responding to in particular brought up some good topics of discussion.
I say we use that as a starting point.
