I hope music evolves to the point where it is much more than sound

Maybe we are going that way with the recent obsession of bass and electronics in music, which could hint at the direction we are going in music.

I would like to see something like a space you could step in that would emit sounds designed by an artist in which each sound has its own 3/4 dimensional characteristics, and would induce feelings which are both physically and emotionally felt uniting in a psychedelic like experience which you step into the mind of the artist who designed said music.

As I see it - music is already 4 dimensional and induces physical and emotional responses

What I would be interested in the future is, programming songs which never playback the same way more than once

The upconverter is mainly so you can run your low def video sources through HDMI right?  In theory it does a better job interpolating the higher resolution but I doubt it looks much clearer.  Not a video guy though.

Looks like a cool thread, I like to mess around with cubase once in a while. I'll keep an eye on this thread. If you're looking for good cubase tutorials check out cubasetutorials.com. Does anyone else know a site like this?

---

Not for Cubase.

On Youtube "cosmcosm" s channel has GREAT ableton tutorials.

seconding this, tom cosm sure knows his way around ableton!

mr. bill does too, he's also on youtube

303 appreciation!

I love love to find a cheap one, or build a kit modern one.

rool:

The synth that made acid, all by itself

and it's original intention was to be used an electronic bassline for bands who did not have a bassist.

very nice you do your own sound engineering ? i'm impressed, i'm pretty in the unknown when it comes to that

yes i'm addicted to that 303 sound



Audiorealism.Bassline is pretty cool when it comes to that; even for being software!

The legendary silver box which is hallmark in electronic music has been
  recreated in AudioRealism Bass Line. Analog modeling techniques have
  been employed to create a DSP-algorithm that accurately emulates every
  aspect of the original Bass Line, from growling basses to hollow middles
  and beeping highs with metal rattling accents. Patterns are composed in
  a fashion similar to the original Bass Line using the integrated step
  sequencer with easy to use manipulation functions such as transpose and
  randomization.

  Since 2003 ABL has established its sound as the industry standard. In
  2007 ABL2 achieves important improvements in several key areas. Amongst
  new features the most important thing is the sound: The bass is
  improved for less muddiness. The filter has been improved to incorporate
  subtile nonlinear effects for additional squelch. The distortion unit
  has been improved with less aliasing. The controls have been calibrated
  to better match the response of the original. Moreover several new
  features are present: The new pattern analyzer which can be used to
  edit patterns and will even detect patterns from audio files.

  Shuffle
    - ABL2.1 adds support for shuffle, but in standard and triplet timing
      modes.
    - Pattern analyzer with Audio detection
  The pattern analyzer is a tool for editing and analyzing patterns. In
  further aid to help users transition their original patterns into ABL
  an audio detection algorithm has been devised. That's right - it can
  create patterns using audio files as a source. How does it work? The
  original patterns are recorded under certain conditions, then simply
  hit Detect from wave and select the audio file. ABL2 will create a
  pattern resembling the audio input. Listen to the audio detection
  examples above for an demonstration.
  It is possible to copy and paste patterns directly from for example a
  forum or e-mail using the clipboard functions - no more saving and
  importing.

  Improved filter emulation
  The filter has been improved so as to include the nonlinear behavior
  of the original. This give additional 'squelch' in fast sweeps.

  Accent ducking
  On the original 303 it will take the envelope a while to 'warm up'
  after an accent. When the accent knob is fully counter clockwise this
  can be perceived as a ducking envelope. This feature is now included in
  ABL2. Listen to these two comparisons: 303 ducking and ABL ducking.

  Pattern library
  The pattern library menu allows easy access to your favorite patterns.
  It also possible to load several patterns in one go by selecting
  multiple patterns from the Load Pattern dialog.

  Other improved features
    - MIDI Learn function now displays all mapped CCs
    - Load multiple patterns at once
    - Preferences dialog for easier setup
    - Pattern section buttons are now MIDI assignable
    - ABL2 imports the following file formats: RBS, PH and PAT
    - PNG support for easier user skinning
    - All ABL1 features remain
