I just bought myself a new toy – a Moog Modular synth!
While I dearly wish I found it in a secondhand store in Greymouth for $50, the truth is that its a Moog Modular V (as in virtual) made by Arturia – the main benefits of the V aspect being that I can take it with me in my laptop while travelling… I may well be the first person to jam on a Moog Modular while waiting in the transit lounge! Heres a bit of a history lesson:
I hope they make a virtual Synthi next – then all my dreams of making 1950s sci fi soundtracks will come true!
Hi Tim
Do you know about the virtual Synthis currently out there?
I’ve been using “le synthé” (freeware) for a few years in lectures, works pretty well.
Noticed there’s a new version, but all the developer’s download links don’t seem to work! Have a go at http://web.mac.com/pierre.couprie/Logiciels/le_synthé_V4.html and test your French…
So worth seeing if it’s still available elsewhere – also check MusicThings old roundups of virtual Synthis at http://musicthing.blogspot.com/2004/10/virtual-synthi.html and http://musicthing.blogspot.com/2004/10/virtual-synthi-pt-2-instant-chems.html
You might also appreciate this that I just found – some impulse responses of the Synthi’s spring reverb!
