plenty of her!</FONT><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Where? Where? I dont see any pictures. Of studios
or Laurie Z. (but hey Laurie will you be my friend?) As to myself and
what I do with my stuff- I like to have fun. I super enjoy programming new
sounds and then playing/creating on the fly. And when I'm real inspired I'll
turn on Logic to record it. Being a dad and working as an engineer for Boeing I
use these great tools as a creative outlet. And I'm very opinionated(like
you) about what I like and what gets me off.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So stating up front that the thing I like to do
most after creating a sound is to PLAY the keyboard or controller
using that sound (as opposed to triggering or using it in a multi
track creation) here what I like and dont like: I hate sample playback of
most kinds (Wavestation is OK some times), I like FM, I like my
Z1 and CX-3 more and I've come full circle back to
loving analog with the a6 and soon after with the Voyager.
Again because these are FUN to mess with and great sounding boards. If
you have fun with the Neuron or any other tool all the power to you. I was never
big on samplers although I have an E4 turbo something. Its a tool I use for drum
sounds and I have sampled many of my analog keyboards sounds and
manipulated them. But when I sit down to PLAY those sounds for the
sake of just playing I dont get the fulfillment I get out of my other
boards. And to me sampling is not fun or definely not my first choice when
sitting down after work. And tweaking sample playback stuff has never been
satisfying to me because I always think it sounds like someone else's
sound modified. But thats just me. And if its gets you off then thats all
that should matter.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>No one who buys a Neuron should give a crap whether
someone who doesnt have a Neuron thinks it good or not. If I bought one I
think I would like the fact that everyone else thinks it sucks or isnt worth the
money. Before I bought my Voyager, I thought people were nuts for spending 3K on
a mono synth that would get them an A6. But then I PLAYED one and
played with one and had to have one. I love reading people threads that say
you can buy a Triton/Motif/2600 or whatever for the price of a Voyager. Bottom
line - do what gets you the most satisfaction and dont worry about what the rest
of us think. BTW I feel very lucky and appreciate you more serious folks sharing
your insights that struggle to make a living with this stuff and who's
needs may be far different from my own - but someone did ask what we do with
this stuff.</FONT></DIV>
