Loving the UltraNova...its definitely digital, but in all the best ways possible. It sounds a bit 90's at times with some of the wavetables and other oscillators. The workflow is pretty great, really making programming a really enjoyable part of the experience. Having a nice set of keys is a new experience even though I don't play. Lots of great modulation options, you can really get a patch moving w/o much effort. Really lively synth. Nice to see autopan as an FX option. The FX are good enough to add some spice to a preset. Also, got a good laugh going through the DnB and Dubstep presets...

I trust that taste of anyone who would make that video with a rack full of Orban peepin' in the background.

Check out the Prophet5 in non-action, (it's not plugged in), but it probably is the synth used on this tune. It sounds nice to me!

Yeah, I think you told me about it! More maybe the long lost alphacat.
I like the ideas about technology here. The fearlessness in the face of the authority of the device.
Kind of like what you're studying. You are getting to a very low level of the new world.

Okay, what drum machine?
Also that isn't really a signature sound of the prophet 5, not what I think about now, at least, but it does sound good.
So I've got two analog polys now, both based on the Curtis 3394 chip, and it is surprising how different they sound. Like I was playing the Six-Trak which is awesome beyond belief for a few reasons, and I was like okay, I'm going to sell the AX-60. I got it back out, set up a light to shoot photos, and I started playing it, and damn dude. It has a more solid sound. Kind of a more... pure stable tone or something. I was surprised. I've been using the filter really wet, with pulse mod (on any waveform) and osc filter mod, to produce some raw and edgy sounds, but it does those kind of glassy pure tones (like in that Hall and Oats vid) too, and does it well. AND the ax60 is built, as they say, like a tank. I mean it is a real hunk of technology. The Six-Trak is literally flimsy. Like I can bend/twist the whole keyboard. But then it's got wood endcheeks. It is quainter. It is also smaller. Argh. I'm having a hard time deciding. I really really like the sequencer on the Six, I think I may keep it just for that reason.
Sorry, back into stream of consciousness deliberations again.

Alphacat's presence I sense.

Yeah, but those chords and those strings... They are probably the Prophet5.

yeah, could be. I think about wobbly detuned saw waves. But it is a synth! It makes a variety of sounds.

Analog strings and pads...
This is seriously what set me off wanting to produce way back when.

Okay fellas.
This is a call to action.
Go borrow your girlfriend's, wife's, mom's, sister's shortest miniskirt, hit the corner tonight, and suck a dick.
Then go buy the Korg Sample.
WORTH IT
OMG

I had a dude offer to pay me 50 quid to let him give me the blow job. For real the other way around. That's gotta be some sort of rarity. I said no. The Volca Sample wasn'*t about then though.

Call that dude up, and be like, "Remember that blow job you wanted to give me? Meet me out back of the music store, today is your lucky day!"
