Not sure if this will translate but you're absolutely setting up strawman "arguments" @max23. The notion that using a few presets somehow negates the reality that RDJ does a crazy amount of programming is absurd. And small.
That is a quality he shares with both Brian Eno and Genesis P Orridge.
And that tendency is one of the reasons that I love and appreciate all three of those gentlemen.
Loved Druqks, the only album I ever really got into of his. Never heard any interviews or know what he even looks like without an awesome rack... and I don't mean gear.
Opinion as Fact, the new album from Max. My opinion is that you're kind of jealous of his output. It's a fact.
It could just as easily be said, and has often been said, that talking about music, particularly your own, is goofy. It's music. It shouldn't need words to explain it. You've already 'said' it.
He's just a big nerd. A nerd who actually gets shit done though. Maybe you don't like it. That's cool. Why bash him though? If you were saying the same stuff about me, even though we've never met, id probably be pretty hurt. No one bothers to bash me or my output so my skin is surely thinner than his but that's not my point.
It's my fault for engaging. Po.
I agree with this. I plugged in my Minilogue for the first time since probably February today and my exact thought after 10 minutes was 'this is a toy'. I was never happy with it, I just convinced myself that it was a bargain for the price since I couldn't afford an OB-X at the time. At least I have a solid MIDI controller.
As for that Aphex guy, I only like vol2. Selected Ambient and a few other of the more melodic, mellow tracks. I don't care for the crazy electro-beats or the jarring-in-a-bad-way stuff.
I've never read anything about the guy, I just always got the sense he was hyped beyond his talent based on the aura he created for himself. And his hideous face.
Are you saying you managed to afford/get an OB-X since then? If so, I bet the Monologue boring!
In addition to the usual stable of iOS virtual analog mono synths, I own an SH-101, a Minibrute and the Monologue. The SH-101 remains the love of my life (had it since '87), the Minibrute is capable of the widest range of sounds (it does 'soft' the best of the three), but the Monologue is easily the most fun/inspiring. Might be because it's the newest (~5-6 months now), but there's something about it I just adore. That inspires me. It's a pretty simple synth on the face of it and has a fairly fixed set of basic 'tones' (particularly as compared to an OB-X!) but it has a few sonic tricks up its sleeves. Audio rate LFOs are good. Pointing that at the waveshaper is real good and creates interesting/inspiring-to-me sounds I can't coax out of other things I own. Plus, it's physical/immediate and has full midi control, a sequencer and can store/recall presets.
All three have a sequencer, and the SH-101 sequencer can store more notes but none are really close to the monologue's sequencer. Of particularly utility related to 'new sounds', every single knob/switch on the panel can be sequenced (up to 4 of them). You can run an automation sequence—without any notes recorded—while you play notes manually on the keyboard (or sequence externally). You can set the sequence to just run in a loop or you can set it to retrigger on each key press. If you approach this feature as 4 incredibly well spec'd LFOs (you can smooth the steps out or you can have them run more like parameter locks), the little box opens right up. And, you know, fun!
Would definitely like to see the big three companies innovate on synth topology and 100% agree that the more interesting stuff is happening with smaller companies and software. Feel like Korg is the only one of the big three innovating but mostly on cost:sonic-potential/fun-factor, not on synthesis methods—can definitely understand if that innovation feels like nothing more than recreating the past (at attractive prices).Though, to be fair, there's never been anything quite like the Monologue or the Volca sample and very very few things like the other Tats designed hardware instruments for the price (in any era). The Volca Keys can feel like a one trick pony but it's a pretty versatile and very musical little box for me. And it's one of those things: if you like the basic sound it produces, you're in good shape. If not, well, yeah, not so much. But I don't think that's a fault! Same can be said of most non-synth instruments and single purpose effects. Some do it for you, some do not. I love the shitty spinnet piano in my living room. Not innovative or interesting in any way at all but I use it to make music all the time.
Yes, this seams to be the gist one gets from reading older interviews.
There is another point that we should not forget. Why should some entertainers be held to different standards than others. He needs his marketing cloud and gizmos like all others participating in the hard core music business.
How many so-called stars actually do their own mix and other hard work. I don't know but would guess many pay talented engineers to do the job while they do Kardashian's and Red carpet marketing. I'm certainly not defending any misconduct, simply pointing out that at some stage people need unfortunately more than their music work and Richard's is to be Gadget-Sound Vizkid. So be it, no harm done really.
If I feel someone goes over the line (in my opinion) I stop reading or listen to the interview in question.
It is what it is!
