actually you guys lost me a bit, what is so important about the plugin paradigma?
if you have quite a lot plugins with good presets, you actually don't
have to learn anything. just try this and try that, and you've done.
wow, its against all my views and ways to make (electronic) music. When
I started in 1983 the first synths with storage were already available
but relying on presets was quite uncommon, it felt a bit like using a
homekeyboard. I am the one who deletes all presets first when getting a
new hardware synth with storage, as with the last additions V-SynthXT
and Machinedrum to the studio.
Do you really think you can create something interesting these days with
riding presets? I start to recognize Omnisphere everywhere, just like
Korg Wavestation in the 90s. Actually I am a bit afraid that using the
old tools in the old ways bears old sounding results. Now that sonically
everything is possible I am starting to rethinking and questioning the
typical (software) sequencers, thoughts which are actually much much older.
A bit of more sonic creativity can spice up every genre.
Cheers,
Malte
