The OP no longer exists so you're speaking out of your arse.

I was unaware of this information, why lie to us!?

Fascist mods help deluded boy rewrite history.

That's ashame, this was a good few pages of history!

I get my 'synth stuff' online. There are various synth applications you can download and use on your desktop. But yeah, it can all be done on a synthesiser keyboard. Even budget synths like MicroKorgs are extremely versatile.

What were your motives for this post? Are you interested in experimenting with synth sounds or just curious as to how the they are achieved?

I've also just noticed your other point about 'unique sounds'; you can achieve completely unique sounds through sampling (record audio through a mic, or your phone or whatever) then load them into a form of sampling software and fuck around with it until your heart is content.

Basically there are tonnes of ways to create electronic music. If in doubt, just google/youtube it. You'll find out way more doing it that way than looking for opinions on here, as there are literally 1000s of youtube videos that show you how to use various forms of software/hardware.

Cheers man, you're a star! My motives were both really! I was wondering if anybody uses any software or every single synth type sound is achieved onto one keyboard.

I'll be looking to experiment with it later on, my band at the moment haven't got any material that a synthesiser could fit in with, if that makes sense? The sampling software sounds like the only solution on how people create synth music, it has always fascinated me how little bits of electronic music makes a song sound massive!

yeah that's why we talk so much. He went full retard though, you should never go full retard.

Fender strat.

what do you mean by 'synth stuff' is what i'm asking?

Do you mean, 'what instruments do people use to make synth-based music'? - answer could be something like http://www.elektron.se/products/octatrack , https://www.ableton.com/ , http://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/maschine/production-systems/maschine/?content=

or do you mean 'does anyone have any suggestions on stuff to listen to that contains synths?' - answer could be e.g. Kraftwerk or Trentemoller

Neither, I was wondering what sort of synthesiser hardware or software people use. I've taken Kasabian for an example because there's so much electronic synth going on, I have no idea what Serge uses to get that sound!

I think he's meaning what do they use to make those unique sounds. Something I've always wondered myself. Am I right?

Spot on!

I prefer acoustic synths to be honest.

Seriously though, can you clarify what on earth this question means?

I have no idea myself! The sort of synth you hear on Kasabian songs. Or anything that's creates unique sounds. I should just stick to guitars.

Does anybody know where people get their synth stuff from? Surely it's not all done on a synthesiser keyboard?

I seem to like it one minute and hate it the next!

A Gibson SG could be seen as a lightweight alternative to a Les Paul. Although, the lesser mass of wood does effect the tone.

Aw, definitely! I like the idea of SG's but I'm not loving the horns cutaway. I think only ivory or maple gloss suits it!

Les Paul's are my worst nightmare, they are way too heavy for a skinny c*** like myself! They look nice, though! A lot of people mention the melody makers, does anybody own one and are they fairly light? I've been so used to playing large guitars that when I pick up something around about the same size as a Les Paul, it looks like a banjo!

Those Fenders must be real workhorses to survive 2 weeks in your bedroom before getting traded in on a whim.

Apply ice cold water over burnt area.

On the topic of fenders, had anybody tried out that fender coronado in ii music? That's a stunning guitar!

Agreed, although wasn't the amp loaded with speakers that were potentially worth a fortune?

Moon Moon's sudden realisation that he could of had a goldmine in that speakers!

cost me an amp and that customised acoustic. Personally I think it's ugly with 4 pickups and with the white pick guard

I think a black pickguard would look pretty cool on it!

Moon Moon now owns a fender mexican paisley strat.

Let's see this!

why are you on this part of the forum? Go on! Get going back into politics and current affairs.

Those are a cracking pair of tits... To be fair'

Pwoper (sic) bands with a mod/tunes/swagger vibe.

That and the banging on about Voxes makes me think of Ocean Colour Scene and Hurricane #1 covers. Gads....

Sort of, I liked the sound and tone you get from vox amps. There's no change of pushing metal towards it, I know that the amp would just vomit!

Those were my actual words... I'm a tosspot, a very nice tosspot!

The AC15c2 is a 2x12 combo.

Have you tried visiting any amp manufacturer websites? They're usually full of some useful info'.

Vox's website is down at the moment, that's why I'm on this wonderful thread!

You can pick up AC15C1's pretty cheap as far as I remember - if it has to be a vox. All valve, nae pish.

Yeah! Got to be a valve amp! I'll look into it!

Also note that cyber amps will lose a heap of value as soon as you're finished punching in your credit card details.

Oooooooh! These are very wise words!

I think the VR is the Valvetronix amp circuit, but without the digital modelling part.

I'd be wary of it...

What is the digital modelling? Is that simply 'recreating at sound'?

Oh is the VR not the Valvetronix range? My bad. I don't know much about them. I just know I've played a Valvetronix a couple of times, and I had a bad time.

No worries! I'm sure that the VR ones are gig worthy enough. If I have about a grand laying around I'd get that 100 watt marshall stack. Or an old vox ac30, the ones the edge collects like football cards!

Oh, I'll add one pedal that I've been after for a while and now I own one. It's a zvex ooh wah 2. Great pedal, I love the amount of textures you can create with an 8 step sequencer! I haven't heard anything like this before and thought it was pretty unique!
