I Know He is Extremely Busy Now so maybe someone else knows this or maybe its Been asked before, i couldnt find it, The Main Lead Instrument, riff sound thats a single note sound with the first 3 notes being G, C, Eb, What Is that From? Its Very Similar to, Dare I say it, the sound "echo drops" From the GM Soundset. Its obviously shaped differently using Filters. I Found The almost Exact sound In the Kurz PC3 called "TimbaSynth" Where you use the Mod. wheel to control the Formant or Vowel Shaping! Its Close. Sounds Like Jem Is using a Vocal sample and I always wondered what its saying! THAT im sure has been Beaten To Death Here![attachment=0:35eaua0z]th_other_beatingA_DeadHorse.gif[/attachment:35eaua0z]
It was a sample from a softsnth way back in the day called Plugsound. Before it became Plugsound Pro, there were 6 little versions you could get. I can't remember which one it was from, but it was just a little 4 note riff that I used the first three notes from.
I think. Truth be told, I don't tend to keep the methods in my memory, I just blunder on until it all sounds right. The best analogy I can think of is a child with his head in the toybox lobbing toys out from it over his shoulder without really looking at them. :lol:
Even with the songs themselves, I have to re-learn them if I know we're going to do them live. I have no idea how to play most of The Dividing Line currently. I do know that it's in G.
It is isn't it? :P

Heh Heh.
Does this imply a live TDL at some point in the not-too-distant future...? 8-)

Oh Gawd, yeah! And 1976 too hopefully in time for Xmas. :D

I thought that was just me!
I'm right in the middle of mixing a whole CD of songs I can't play! LOL
Me too! Somehow, composing and recording is easy, but when it's time to learn my own riffs for live, it's really hard. It's like it was written by someone else.

That's the only problem of writing and recording on a DAW- you play it once and then forget about it for a while, and then you have to try to make sense of it all in a live situation, which can be VERY difficult!(As you know, Jem ;) )
This never used to happen when people wrote entire songs as a band before even thinking about recording them! :lol:

Grats on the HobNob-ness. :)

Exactly, it's just "Next! Next! Next!" with ideas and sections. On the plus side, when it does come to work out what you did, you're left in awe of yourself. :lol: :lol:
Completely different genre and level but I was sorting through a heap of papers yesterday and I came acrodss a folder from a creative writing course I did a few years ago. There were about 8 of us on the course so I had a misture of stuff that we had all written. I got half-way through reading one bit before I realised it was mine. :oops: I had totally forgotten writing it. :roll:
What really sucks is when you have a HD crash and loose that important data
and find that you can't go back to it later! It happened to me once and I learned
from that mistake. I spent forever recreating my effects chain and then I had to try
and figure out what notes I was pulling out of my arse at the time I recorded it.
Interestingly enough, I was just to open a new thread asking Jem how he got that Snowman "breathy droplet" sound.
Jem, it would be most appreciated if you could recall how'd you get that sound. Here I have Plugsounds and thousands of patches to go through, but no time to do it :D
Was it a layer of several Plugsound patches? Was it from one of the 6 plugins, or it combines several of them?
Didn't Jem already answer this as best he could? Or am I missing a subtle difference in the question?

Jem Blunders!
Hahahah, I have found it!
Since Jem mentioned that it was a riff, I started rummaging in the Hip-Hop Toolkit, which is more loop/construction kit oriented. And there it was! Play D5 (that would be D an octave above middle C) on preset 289 (03-Instruments Phrases->Combos->Combo - Synth 2) and you get this:

Nice work! :)
However, what is your D5 doing an octave above middle C? Your keyboard is broken. :P

There are various talks about this on KvR, it's just the fact that I set C4 to be middle C in my host (Reaper).

OK, No F-ing way did you figure that out!! Brilliant! That is a Very interesting sound. I love the formant of it. I swore it was a sample! Very cool! Great Work Dragon! Now Figure out the Vocal effects chain for the Vocals on the Original Version! :D

Oh, And Dragon, You have quite possibly the largest hands Ive ever seen on a Human! Maybe its the Camera Angle, but Still, They look like Camel Spiders from Iraq! Your lucky, Can you reach 2 octaves? :D
[attachment=0:3tuot4p6]camel-spider.jpg[/attachment:3tuot4p6]
It's the camera angle. I can barely spread a 10th :(
I have fairly large hands - on a full-size board I can do C - E' (I guess that's a 16th?) or C# - F'# (17th) without sounding the neighbouring keys....but it's not much of an advantage - I still can't play the thing properly. :(

Actually I was just being silly, what I meant was a D being an octave above a C.... nevermind. :oops: (though it feels good to know that I accidentally had a point :mrgreen: )

Actually I didn't mean in chromatic intervals. After octave you have a 9th (nona) and 10th (decim). Your C-E' is a 10th, and C#-F#' is a large 10th.

Ah, that makes sense. I don't really know what I'm talking about in musical terminology...or much else for that matter. ;)

:lol: Most forums would discuss how huge that thing is...
...we discuss the best way to eat it!
Also known as the robber crab or palm thief. On the subject of eating one...
Quote from: "Wikipedia"The coconut crab is eaten by Southeast Asians and Pacific Islanders and is considered a delicacy and an aphrodisiac, with a taste similar to lobster and crab meat. The most prized parts are the eggs inside the female coconut crab and the fat in the abdomen. Coconut crabs can be cooked like other large crustaceans, by boiling or steaming. Different islands also have a variety of recipes, as for example, coconut crab cooked in coconut milk. While the coconut crab itself is not innately poisonous, it may become so depending on its diet, and cases of coconut crab poisoning have occurred. It is believed that the poison comes from plant toxins, which would explain why some animals are poisonous and others not. However, coconut crabs are not a commercially significant species and are usually not sold.
Although watch out where you eat one - one some islands in the Indian Ocean, the species is protected and eating one will land you a fine for about £1,500. :shock:
I think I'd be OK encountering one of those, actually. They're quite cute in a way. Although, I wouldn't want to get this close to one...
