there is only one hope for humanity- the synthesizer

To me it's so bad it's good, I love the laughable premise pared with the self serious tone

Yeah a lot of them are

I'm glad everyone's been posting about Moonchild, I always thought that was the most underrated track on In The Court of the Crimson King, extended improvisation section and all

I wish this worked the other way around in real life

Seasons 2-4 of Westworld, I'm dying on the hill that it got better as it went on and people got filtered. It's still inexplicable to me too, it's like everyone said "Sure, I wanted a morality play about the creation of super-intelligent machines, but not like *that*"

Geniunely the best fan art of her I've ever seen, and I say that as a lifelong Utena fan

I may or may not do some kind of write-up describing this process in more detail, but for now I just felt like doing this little impromptu thread because I've never heard of anyone else going down this particular road with their synth programming, at least not in this way #synthsky

Why do this with pure synth programming instead of just using Diva? I have a couple reasons:
-each plugin is unique in how you have to program it to get these qualities, it's almost like a puzzle
-because of this, the sound and workflow are decidedly different and more interesting than emulation

When I seek to emulate these sounds, I focus on a few specific qualities of them, namely:
-instability in the raw waveform
-authentic (random and dynamic) pitch drift
-multiple layers of distortion throughout the audio path, ideally with different distortion curves depending on input gain

There's a lot of very particular things that make those old synths sound the way they do, all of which come down to (highly dynamic) noise and distortion at every stage of the signal path, influencing everything from how the waveforms are generated to the sound of filter resonance

🧵One of my on-again-off-again interests as a synth programmer has been programming soft synths to sound like vintage analog synths, tutorials on YouTube would have you believe that you can just add some vibrato and mix in a little noise and you're done. But for this purpose it's woefully inadequate

I'd know it was gonna be a good date

You're cute and funny

I Played 'The Boys Are Back in Town' on a Bar Jukebox Until I Got Kicked Out The boys were back in town, but I was out of the bar, because they asked me to leave.

on the 50th anniversary of the release of The Boys Are Back in Town I'm morally obligated to share my favorite story of all time

Tips for adults: Make the animal noises together.

Easily my favorite sonic level

I love CachyOS Linux. That's the post :3

She's so me

You clearly already know this about yourself, but *this* being your banned card of choice really says something about you as a player and frankly I respect the hussle

You don't have to apologize for being cool

Being a femboy and being a girl aren't mutually exclusive

find people who love you for the very things that you were shamed into suppressing

My sense of direction is downright nonsensical, I can be staring right at a map and be going in the opposite direction of what I intended

Any other interaction the two of us have had in the past week is a contender
