www.bigtone.de, made patches for many commercial synths.
“Somebody said to me, ‘But the Beatles were antimaterialistic.’ That’s a huge myth. John and I literally used to sit down and say, ‘Now, let’s write a swimming pool.’ ”

Your stuff is way too modern for Howard - he's holding out for some Walter Carlos, Vangelis, and Tony Banks preset collections... 
Nah, I think people that do extensive programming, as Howard does, probably don't pay too much attention to other preset collections out there, so don't take it personally...

heh ... see, honestly i did not even know about the name "brok landers" was famous because of that ...
a friend of mine, whom i did a record with, just used this name as my nickname (as i told him i don't want to appear with my real name on the record) as a joke, i didn't even know ...
after i was asking why all of my friends were laughing, they finally explained it to me, but it was too late to change it, i used it already too much, not knowing this fact, so i sticked with it ...

Btw, Howard, I am enjoying your presets each and every day. Incredible stuff.
There are 3 kinds of people:
Those who can do maths and those who can't.

hehe ... no, i know, i was rather aiming this to the fact that howard knows me already, he just may not have recognized that bigtone is me, actually ...beej wrote:Your stuff is way too modern for Howard - he's holding out for some Walter Carlos, Vangelis, and Tony Banks preset collections...

my reply was not meant as: "wtf, you don't know my presets!?"
he actually knows them from waaayy earlier, as we did patches for the virus a these days, when it was very really young ...
actually it was kinda funny, as i always checked his patches on the virus for inverse engineering, and as he told me, he did the same with mine those days ...
yeah, guess it's all about constantly learning ...

I'm just pleased to have my two favorite sound designers working together on such a powerful synth. Good times.
