    he's losing also his skills as a troll. He used to be a PRO, but now he's only spreading his ignorance
    still cant belive how much time is wasting with nonsense instead of learning to play 3 chords on a guitar.

    Music for him is just UNNATURAL...

    Since synthesizers entered the world of music, music has gone. Synthesizers have nothing to do with the nature of humans. Synthesizers entered the music with cunning and trickery and instead of helping the music to improve and covering its weaknesses, they pushed the path of the music towards degeneration.:rofl:

    oh, so physical modeling is still a thing? I remember the buzzword and the craze and it sure was interesting for wind instruments. did not sound 'real' back then, but very interesting. with the processing power we have nowadays there should be improvements I guess?

    the first synthesizer that entered the "world of music" was the organ, and I am not talking about the Hammond organ 100 years ago. I am talking of the pipe organ, which "entered the world of music" 1000 years ago*

    "Music has gone" since 1000 years in your brain?

    Or your brain is gone lately?

    Natural? A natural synth? Or a synth that sounds like a physical instrument? WUT

    Try Chromaphone 3 and DIVA.

    The SWAM instruments can be very realistic sounding, but the biggest surprise to them is their very small file sizes as plugins. And the level of realtime control people get from them using breath controllers and so on. If you hear a track where someone has really put the time and playing effort into the parts made with SWAM instruments, you could guess they are from imported samples, real instruments, or at least from Kontakt, etc. They are pretty heavy cpu use as you mention, and they are also expensive plugins if not from sister site. :winker:

    If your MUSIC sounds unnatural, stop thinking. Just feel it.

    You can still listen to and buy classical music. Go to the opera again.
    How and what do you think should improve? How should music be helped then! How is that supposed to work?

    Synthesizers are a technological invention and further development of the existing one. In your opinion, there would only be one model of car for everyone, the same hairstyle, the same food everywhere and everyone would only have one model of laptop. Long live progress and diversity.

    Second keyboard he uses is Expressive E Osmose.


    Does anyone know of any other keyboards that can do this aftertouch vibrato thing? They call this feature "multidimensional keys". I've read comments describing it as a great keyboard, but a horrible synth. Are there any alternatives with similar functionality?
