(a crude little video recorded with a Blackberry)
Owning an analog synthesizer is often better than any virtual synth. I was in need of creating a custom rise within a specific time (16 bars) for a piece of music I was working on.
I actually tried a few virtual synths like Massive, FM8, etc… but I would have had to automate too many parameters to get this needed effect. Viola! Bring out a Moog, and boom, it’s done.
I like my software synths, especially Alchemy, but sometimes what you really need is a single key and the right knobs. 🙂
