I live around Atlanta GA and afaik there's no dubstep radio station available. Today for the first time I've been listening to one at Pandora. Now I want to do it more often, but don't want to have to carry a computer around all the time. Is there a small reasonably priced type of device that will a...

Just throwing this out there, I have actually learned a lot about synthesis from studying/deconstructing presets... the two don't necessarily have to be antithetical to each other. Also honestly I don't see the difference between using samples and using presets, it all depends on how you use them.....

10,000 presets. Enjoy http://www.rankinaudio.com/blog/favourite-free-vsts-vol-2-synth1 I still can't get version 1.12 to open the ones that came with it. Well, it seems to acknowledge the first one in folder 00, but none of the others. I ran the initsettings.exe a couple of times and reg2ini.exe a ...

Version 1.12 is needed to use these as it makes use of the new effects and other added features. If needed, you can update your copy here: http://www.geocities.jp/daichi1969/softsynth I downloaded version 1.12 and my DAW, Reaper, can open it. I can't get any of the presets to work though. I ran the...

I also use Reaper with those same synths without any issues. It's strange really. Have you considered reinstalling the synths? Now I've installed a newer version 1.12. It had no presets listed in the dropdown menu but I remembered from before to run the initsettings.exe program. After running that ...

Wow, you're not kidding about it being a heap. Are there any you recommend in particular?

Don't listen to these people... Use presets if you want, I -know- FM, RM and Subtractive synthesis like the back of my hand but do I put it to use? rarely.. I ain't got time to sit there and faff around with creating patches.. Are people going to care if you have a rhodes in your track what sounds ...

Also, why are you so deadset on Synth1? Theres plenty of other free synths that are much better imo. Anything from Togu Audio, Curve2 CM, Synthmaster CM, the list goes on. I have Synth1 and read that there are good dubstep preset packs for it, so I wanted to check it out. I'm glad I did too. Are th...

Choose freeware.

I love freeware. What do you recommend?

Speaking of Synth1, I just downloaded the VST yesterday. Since I'm in Garageband I have to use a VST-to-AU wrapper for it. It loads up in Garageband as it should, but it can't seem to actually produce any sound. Anyone know how to fix this? I need to make some reeses ASAP. I don't know if this coul...

Well I had to find out and you guys are right. It sux. . . I emailed them and they said it's no problem to get my money back, so I'll go for that instead. Good luck trying to get your money back :u: It's not worth much now that you've paid for 'wobblebass' :lol: but seriously, you should listen to ...

lol @ using the word 'extremist' when talking about creativity. have you considered using other genre specific presets for dubstep? Yes. I want to eventually use symphonic and marching sounds as well and would like to learn to put dubby effects on horns and animal sounds if possible, but to start w...

Ok seriously OP, i dont want to sound like like a complete dick (only maybe a chubby), but if you spent half as much time trying to make music and understand how synthesis works as you have on this forum asking silly questions (wobbeboss? really?) you would have something significant to show by now...

I also use Reaper with those same synths without any issues. It's strange really. Have you considered reinstalling the synths? I almost did with Atlantis but someone told me how to access the presets and it worked, so I didn't. Since Synth1 is working and the presets that came with it are working I...

I'm using Reaper.

Look at a basic drum kit and count the toms. 3 is more than enough, just process them differently to make them sound like they are being hit differently I want to have several toms, not just 3. Really I'd like to find toms that are tuned so you can make a melody with them. I haven't been able to fi...

why are you battling so much with preset loading? Talk about getting lost in random technicalities. The free how to make a noise book should be all you need to learn how to synthesise sounds. Charlatan you install with a setup file. It places everything where they need to be. I can't understand how...

Since I never know where I can learn something useful... Oh shit, I got just the thing man, you'll love this: http://tinyurl.com/2tx That's how I found what I've already got. Maybe no one here knows of anything better, but I was hoping that some people did AND that they would say where to get it. M...

all the presets will show up in diferent soundbanks just add to one of the empty folders and then click initsettings and they should all show up I opened them and put them in empty folders. Didn't remove the dummy.txt whether that matters or not...I'm guessing not. Ran the initsettings. It still do...

do you expect the forum to feed you with a spoon?

Since I never know where I can learn something useful I ask around. Sorry if it's somehow hard on you personally, or anyone else. From my pov it doesn't seem like it should hurt anyone at all.
