So hey #LinuxMusicians #LinuxAudio The amount of choices for synths these days is overwhelming. I am an old man who is not that interested in many of the new sounds (other than Synthwave and Vaporwave, which pander to my personal nostalgias), but I do want to know, what is the best MiniMoog type monosynth sound available among the Free Software options out there? There seems to be nothing that is way out in front of the pack, that I'm aware of, for that specific sound. I'm thinking that really nailing it will probably involve a chain, so I'm probably really after the best basic synth engine, and then the best resonant filter plugins, which may not come in the same package...

I finally discovered the secret to getting my Reese basses to sound more vocal. I kept trying to use Bandpass filters with a high resonance to get that vowel sound only to partially make it there, so I kept trying to mess with FM synthesis in Surge XT and tried different combinations of waveforms and even using spectral wavetables FMed into simple waveforms, no dice, not even OTT was saving it by helping to boost the high end of the spectrum. so I went and got Two Filters after being recommended to try it, saw it had Peak Filters mode, and setup 2 Peak Filters... now I've tried this with parametric EQs before but it felt too wonky to control until... brain blast. I made a simple detuned saw Reese, no post-processing, just Two Filters with 2 Peaks, I keep one Peak more stationary, modulate the other Peak... holy shit I did it. keeping one Peak stationary let me control the vowel sound while moving the other Peak was the mouth opening and closing. I wasn't using fucking anything else... and I did it. I felt like an idiot for not realizing it was this simple. and now you all know too. have fun. #linuxmusicproduction #linuxmusicians #drumandbass #dnb

I put all my stats into bass design and drum processing and forgot to put any into FX and foley, fml. #linuxmusicians
