Here's me thinking: does "synthy" rhyme with "irony"? Like "goldy" and "bronzy"?

 

If we're being completely honest, no synthesizer sounds like a Synthi!

 

I too pray to the synth gods every day.

 

good call, trolling like this totally deserves being my second ignored person ever

 

I am surprised no one answered "what troll doesn't sound trolly"
(No i still have him on ignore, i just saw the name of the thread, what more would i need hahaha)

 

This is a good point though. I think going forward if anyone posts the first response to a Foster thread they should header it with
THIS IS A FOSTER THREAD
so these sorts of embarrassing faux pas don't happen. Otherwise the lack of context can make things weird. Because you don't always notice.

 

Convincing at what, I mean large metallic spring-mass resonators constructed in an extremely unconventional (dare I say artifical) way? That isn't really what my brain associated with a "natural" instrument either. I'm not saying they sound bad, but Physical Audio synths often sound "synthetic" to me too.

 

I don't buy it. All the fungus that I jam with are keyboard players (although I do know of a few woodwind players) and none have modular setups. Don't believe everything that you see on the internet!

i guess resonance is the keyword here...aand reverb ....microverb

 

But you do not want to inform him the jig is already up, every time. Also, a good percentage of people read the title only and reply without ever reading the first post.

 

Most keyboard players are fun guys. But don't underestimate mushrooms, they aren't what they seem...

 

I love people who don't question anything and accept everything except me.

 

Foster Synth 2.0 from Plugin Aliance doesn' t sound synthy , it sounds like a guitar without being plucky

 

beware of his brother forester !

 

INFORMATIVE POST

This is the second time Foster current account @Incontro is marked to be banned (pending deletion)
He has already at least one more, @carmenrinda

BTW @Radio , quite a change of target. From calling me names to do it to Foster. Make up your mind, will ya?! Don't kill the messenger

 

wasnt there somebody that made all of xoxos vst into x64 versions?
i'd really like to get ahold of those if anybody knows of a link

 

why not just use jbridge

 

Yamaha PSR-6

 

For me, more natural sounds usually come from using a sampler.

As for natural sounding synths...oddly enough, the most organic sounding synth sounds I've created were from wavetable synths....namely my Ensoniq Fizmo or something like the Usual Suspects Xenia softsynth. It may seem counter intuitive as the stock sounds on these kinds of synths can be incredibly digital and thin sounding but they're capable of creating sounds that sound incredibly thick, lush, and organic....sounds like scraping two massive stones together, tectonic plates shifting, sounds like glass or like metal on metal.

One of the things that first got me into electronic music was the sound design aspect. Listening to groups/artists like NIN, Skinny Puppy, Coil, Aphex Twin etc.. and wondering, what they were using to get some of the more organic sounds. I had heard plenty of synth pop and the sounds they were getting sounded nothing like typical synth pop. I would later find out it was mostly sounds coming from samplers. Sampling to me is much more than merely sample playback. To me, a sampler is a synthesizer that uses any sound as a starting point instead of the standard synthesis waveforms.
