Hey anyone here using analog synths to make dubstep?

IF So what are u guys using?



peace,

use a cuple of analogue modelled VSTs, like the arturia minimoog and arp, n the korg poly 6 n MS20, but nt the original units.

is that the legacy youre talkin about...actually sounds pretty nice!!

He talked about analog synth wasn't he?

that was the topic?!?!?!
haha

I have a Moog MG-1 (their budget Radio Shack model) which I used to use for DnB production, and it rocks - but recently it's gotten super noisy, so I'm not using it anymore. I might try and work it in again though, maybe with a noise gate to cut out the excess fuzz. It's great for warm analog subs, wobbles, filtersweeps and bleeps.

Some of the early digital synths sound like analog - I also have a Casio CZ-101 which makes great bass sounds because the architecture is part digital, part analog and it's got an 8-step envelope.

yea i got a cz too...havnt used it for a while now ..but love the sound too...

guess there are not too many analog heads out there ..or the shit is just too noisy??

WASP!

yep got one of those too..nast little thing!!! huh ..do you use a midi conv. with it...??

I've ordered an MOTM modular synth which should arrive in a month or so... it takes a while to make because it has to be hand-assembled. It doesn't get more analog than that!

It has MIDI control as well, which is essential. It'll provide a nice complement to the synths in Logic that I usually use... can't wait until it gets here!

I have a Roland SH-101 Analogue bass synth.

Its wicked for dubstep.

roland juno-6

mostly gone to software nowadays tho

nice would love to hear the motm modular!!!

i am just getting a steiner parker synthcon modded for cv and gate to run midi!!

i've seen those motms, their groovin'. a friend of mine has the prophet 1. other than the cardboard-feeling bottom, its really really amazing!

i use the korg emx and esx regularly, but their analog modeled... they do have the tubes tho...

Analogue all the way !!!

Some of my favourite bits in the studio:

./ Oxford Synthesizer Company - OSCar
./ Roland - SH-101
./ Paia Fatman
./ Gemini Combo Organ
./ Moogerfooger Ring Modulator
./ Sherman Filterbank
./ Electro-Harmonix Big Muff
./ TLA EQ & PreAmps
./ Mackie Desk
./ Akai Reel 2 Reel

You really cannot beat the analogue signal path. I swear by it.

shit i've been wanting one of these for ever.... what's going to be in the badboy you ordered?

safe

Well, the MOTM system I ordered is pretty simple, as far as they go, but I'll add to it over time.

It's got one Oscillator, one MS-20 Filter, a Suboctave Multiplexer for serious analog bass, a couple of ADSRs, an LFO and a VCA. Oh, and a lag module and a MIDI interface and a power supply.

Once I get comfortable with it I'll add a second VCO and some more filters. The final piece of the puzzle will be a Cyndustries FM Oscillator, which looks like most insane fucker ever.

It's certainly expensive but I think this thing will last me basically forever.

AAAA YEA THAT COMPANY MAKES SOME SHIT..QQ!!!

WHATS UP WITH THE CYNTHIA??!?!?1 INSANE

Yeh I love me analog gear...

Got a modified mc-202 (analogue solutions mod) - similar layout to 303 but with the sound engine of the sh-101. A lot of my bass sounds come from this thing...

Also have a DSI evolver which is wicked for bleepy electro sounds, also good as an external fx unit.

Waldorf Pulse was my 1st analog piece - still gets used once in a while.

Also have an old Akai VX-90 which is good for pads big leads. Sounds a bit weak but after processing sounds wicked usually.

Just invested in a modular ... which I been wanting for years. Got mine from Analogue Systems and Analogue Solutions - 2 osc. filter, vca, env for the moment... gonna add some more when I got more cash.

And boy ... I been drooling over the Cyndustries Zeroscillator for a few weeks now. Too sick.

so how do all u guys record these analog beasts!??! analog or to software with a soundcard?
