Liminal space but never dead without movement, steady breathing and pulsing as if to show us god is within us.

New York City at night is the epitome of expanded lethargy a chaotic symphony of artificial light shielding out the depths of the heavens. I turn the key, the latch clicks, and i step into the murky alleyway that begins my walk home. The broken howls of some of the grieving drunks used to follow me home. Many speaking, few listening hobbling personifications of a lifetime of mistakes, crammed together and mumbling their horrific tales of abuse, failure, violence. Every one of their remorsefully uttered secrets was money to me, and I encouraged their sins, which would be sure to remain anonymous presumed I got my few bucks each night. I knew the patrons, and their wives, children, mistresses. This was especially fruitful once the booze kicked in, slowly dissolving their verbal filter. Trying to avoid getting Serum, but never say never.I had just stepped out to lock up the back door, the smell of cigarettes and dry whiskey seeping out from the pores of the building, nonchalantly sharing with me our nostalgia of this night and nights prior they seemed to blend together, but maybe this was common for other bartenders that never ending, utterly draining buzz fake faces for pretentious assholes, divorced perverts, the regular drunks bombarding me from all directions while I'd hustle to dispense their watered-down confidence elixirs how I'd laugh, and listen, and smile, and give my most sincere two fake fucks to these blind, degenerate lives while they drink their poison, all in the selfish, conniving hope that they'd tip me an extra buck or two. But.Expanse for Reason has my eye because it can load all of the Serum wavetables. So If I had to pick 3 it would be Zebra, Lush 101 and Europa. I've become a little bit of a synth whore and I'm using way too many. Put it head to head with Zebra's waveshaping capabilities and Europa can do a whole lot more but it takes some work to get it to sound really good. Complex-1 is hands down one of the best sounding synths I've used. Still using Lush 101 for its supersaw feature though.Īlso, I've invested into getting Reason synths moving. With the purchase of Zebra my beloved MPowersynth is getting no love these days. No matter how deep you program it, and how far you go it just gets better and better.
ZEBRA 2 SYNTHWAVE MANUAL
Took me like a day of reading the manual to get the hang of it but I got to say it has some life to it. Reading what I said, I've got some updates. I am thinking of returning to Serum or saving up for Omni. I was also considering Omnisphere, though it is quite expensive I heard a lot of praise on it. But I can see it being possibly capable of even more than Serum (?)ĭiva had amazing sounds, the presets alone just had me playing around so much with it, so beautiful.however I prefer something like Serum or Zebra where it gives you more depth in the sound design department, more options to make your own sounds, I don't want to rely too much on presets. Zebra looked to be really deep, but nowhere near as intuitive as Serum. It's the one I had the most fun using and the one I used the most out of the 3. Serum I really liked how super intuitive it was with its amazing GUI. I have used stuff like Serum, Zebra, Diva in the past. stuff like that I guess, but not just limited to those.Ĭool ambient sweeping organic sounds maybe, mixed with some nice plucky arpeggios, and all kinds of dramatic, cinematic, cool electronica. Hey guys, I would like to do cyberpunk, cinematic, ambient, underscore, dramatic, futuristic type of stuff, and currently I actually don't really have a soft synth.įor reference I'm thinking Deus Ex Human Revolution/Mankind Divided, Tron, etc.
