Culture celebration

[matrixmann]

"Fuck your celebrating of the 80s and Neue Deutsche Welle over and over again - as one of the most decadent decades that one has seen recently! One day you gonna do it with this decade too because remembering one of any of the others would make people discover intelligence and education again!"

I think he should burn in hell for putting fabric softener into a synthesizer. 'Cause that's what he did to electronic music.

All right, I agree, I don't understand much about synthesizers but I thought he is kind of cheesy and looking like a douche a bit. To hell with him.

I think I once managed to get a free sample package that also contained basic drum sounds the Virus TI comes with by nature. This synthesizer is currently like the #1 instrument that all use, especially that soft-boiled House sound of these days is made with it. If you know its sound and have a feeling for it, you'll hear it coming through.
Think I used it in some modern Tracker (like follow-ups of Fast Tracker 2, Impulse Tracker and such stuff) and when you played the drum sounds on very high octaves in the Tracker, the sound of them became very much like what you can hear in bass and snare drums used in House songs since the appearance of David Guetta on the screen.
Like - "Proof: We found out the instrument and we found out the way to play it to get this sound results."

And the Virus TI really doesn't need to sound like it.
Listen to a lot of stuff the Gothic / EBM scene produces with it. No kind of soft-boiled sound like that.
One of the more recent editions of D.Trance series I got into my hands I also think they used a TI mostly or exclusively in the compositions, but I have my little troubles hearing through it determinedly.
So - that makes "it's a matter of how you play and use that instrument". It doesn't sound like that by default.

Thanks, that sounds all Greek to me, I have no clue what quality house music is supposed to be so that's why I am a junkie that falls for David Guetta crap. But I don't have much time for music anyway.

Better call it "I've done my homework" a long time ago as a listener to electronic music.
House music isn't even my real department; I can only copy from what I understand about structures in Trance music to that genre.
