Too many options on that link!  ?

Thanks Andy!  That was a lot of fun.  Good thing I can't afford a modular!  LOL.

nearest one there I could find was this one... has the same wooden stand but not the same globe as mine

great effort Andy, not my kind of music (my small brain only appreciates simple rock/pop).

but did bunch of likes, subsribe, plays to support.  

 

thank you very much, Sheens!

yes, my stuff is definitely a bit "niche," shall we say haha!

thanks for all the likes and stuffs

let me know if you need some professional help after listening to some of that stuff ?

and this will not be my last post here... it is getting a bit late so tomorrow I will make a proper "comeback"

god help you all!!!

cheers

The Human League - Don't You Want Me

oh, I forgot to explain that I was checking my stats on Bandcamp, like you do, and spotted that this forum was ranked #4 in the list of sources
 

so a big thanks to everyone who followed the links above, I really appreciate it ?

True fans and nerds will realize this is Andy's first heavy metal album!  ?

actually, Craig, this is my second Heavy Metal album

I'm kinda gutted that you didn't know that... call yourself a fan! ?

love you though ?

Me too. Think this might be his best yet!

thank you so much, Grem ?

okay, so I am now suitably embarrassed ☺️

as I should be, for abandoning the best community on the interwebs

thing is, I have always felt a bit awkward posting here since jumping ship to REAPER

I guess that is just silly of me... not jumping ship, but feeling awkward

anyway, thank you so much to Craig for adding yet another one of my albums to his synkrotron collection

not sure if "fanboi" covers it

if anyone would like to add Ephemeral to their collection, please, let me know, and I will send a code for free download

cheers,

andy ?

@craigb sorry, it's only an EP 

and nothing else I had on the go was in that "style" so EP it had to be

I hope you enjoyed the rather short thirty minutes though

cheers

Thanks for the heads up... I'll use something else, then

Thank you, @AndyB01 

I'm going through a strange phase, artistically speaking, and I am finding the actual composing part to be quite boring. That comes across quite plainly in my music of the last five years or so which has become more and more beat-less and structureless.

Last year, with the help of a few nice peeps over at VI-C, I went further into music theory than I had ever done before. I think it was all for nought, though, as I have failed to produce anything worthy of the few Spitfire libraries I invested in at that time.

Scaler sounds interesting, for sure, and it sounds like it would save me having to keep looking up music theory stuff on the interwebs. But it may well be still too rigid and structured for what I am into at the moment.

If I want to go a bit "crazy" I may try using some extended chords, but that's about it.

So, I dunno... I'm wondering if I should try Scaler out, at least, and see what comes out of the other end.

cheers,

andy

thank you, @Brian Walton

use it all the time

Same question to you, Brian (see above)

cheers

Hi Andy

What sort of stuff do you do with Scaler?

And how do you use it? As inspiration? As some kind of "intelligent" collaborator? (note that I avoid referring to AI...)

cheers

I've always called it Gaffer Tape...

I like the new UI much better. Seems more intuitive to me. 

Yes, I agree, and I have since parted with my cash

A Christmas present from me to me...

I saved my tweaked presets to a new bank and that allowed me to save them to the Chromaphone 3 Packs folder and I am now back up to speed with my little test project ?

cheers, and thanks,

andy

Start the project using Chomaphone 3 demo.

Too late!!

Or is it?

I suppose you are right, Grem, I should at least give that new UI a try.

My reacquaintance with V2.0 has gone very well so far ?

cheers

andy

I've read all four pages of this topic...

Reason; I was a big investor in the AAS stuff early on and some of the instruments I upgraded as they became available.

So, here I am, scratching my head, wondering if I should have a look at the latest version of Chromaphone.

It does happen to be my fave of the lot. But I have hardly used it at all this year. In fact, not at all. Not because it isn't any good. Chromaphone has simply been pushed to the back of my mind with all the library stuff I have been investing in and then there's the Eurorack stuff.

I have therefore started a project using V2.0 and if that goes well I may well demo V3.0

Just been having a mess around and I like the following presets; Glass Cabinet, Plucks and Soft Plucks.

Not so bothered about the rest to be honest. That said, I will still try to utilise all of the sounds somehow, even if it it just to feed through effects to see what comes out of the other side.

The Pluck type sounds are going to work great with NOD-E, I am sure

Such great news
