Fragments, how are the Mopho's saw waves?

Oh man. The Mopho is a beast. The saw waves are beautiful. They are raw, but rich. I don't know how to describe them exactly. If you make bass music the Mopho is a sound investment--the Curtis Lowpass filter on it is raw, in a very, very good way. The feedback distortion is OK, but it's hard to find a sweetspot about half the time--it always sounds a little too much or too little to my ear. There are lots of internal modulation options and the menu diving to program isn't bad at all. With four assignable knobs you can do all the live tweaking you want. You can also input sounds into it to use the filter--this feature is mono...but who cares? It sounds great. I got mine for 265 USD, probably one of the best deals I've ever gotten. I do usually do post processing if I'm going for a twisted reese or something like that. But you can go pretty far internally, it just doesn't have any effects.

Yeah, tbh, I just wanted a good base source for my reeses, something with a nice and colourful low end, that can be overdrived for analog low end distortion, shit like that, simple with two oscillators. Then process those with Kontakt (and maybe an e-mu in the future ) I'm considering getting one or a slim phatty, those are relatively "cheap" over here.

Before I knew anything about dj'ing or the typical song structures for electronic, I would wonder how come there were no solo sections in any of the tunes I'd heard. When I first started producing I was like "dude, I'm gonna add wobble solos to dubstep! yeaahhhhhh" hahahaha

Is prog rock close enough to psychedelic?

You can do loads with massive and a youtube vid but the moment you understand synthesis and realize that it is not synth specific, the world is your oyster.

There are two types of producers, those who are passionate about music and want to make good music, and those that think electronic music is 'cool' and want to be famous.

Massive caters more to the latter IMO. If it was suddenly taken away, I doubt half the jaunty cap & vest brigade would suddenly get involved with learning Synth1 or Reaktor.
