Just a quick drive-by to say HI!
I may be back later when the work is done.

^ Ha, please tell me you don't like that 
I've heard of Buckaroo et al (isn't it a video game?), but that's just a plain insult to electronic music... you need to feed your ears on some Trentemøller

Hey Cactus, please don't tell me you like that. Huh?
Are you calling me out?
Think you know about music?

Here it is. I don't think you know what an LFO is. I don't think you know what VCO, VCF, DCO, DCF, Subtractive, Additive, or even PCM Synthesis is. I do.
"Synthesis" is the "creation" of "Sounds". ....not pressing a "preset" on a Triton, like some kind of poosie...
I think that you're just trying to "stir the pot" I think that you don't know what you're talking about. I do.
That stuff is nothing but PC loops. If those fuc#$rs had a real synth in front of them, they would cry for their mommy.
If there wasn't a drum loop. they would cry for their mommy.
Dude, you are misinformed, and I am here to help you.
Here is TONTO:
TONTO is an acronym for "The Original New Timbral Orchestra," the first, and still the largest, multitimbral polyphonic analog synthesizer in the world, designed and constructed over several years by Malcolm Cecil. TONTO started as a Moog modular synthesizer Series III owned by record producer Robert Margouleff. Later a second Moog III was added, then four Oberheim SEMs, two ARP 2600s, modules from Serge with Moog-like panels, EMS, Roland, Yamaha, etc.[3] plus several custom modules designed by Serge Tcherepnin and Cecil himself - who has an electrical engineering background.[4] Later, digital sound-generation circuitry and a collection of sequencers were added, along with MIDI control. All of this is housed in an instantly-recognizable semi-circle of huge curving wooden cabinets, twenty feet in diameter and six feet tall.
"I wanted to create an instrument that would be the first multitimbral polyphonic synthesizer. Multitimbral polyphony is different than the type of polyphony provided by most of today's synthesizers, on which you turn to a string patch and everything under your fingers is strings. In my book 'multitimbral' means each note you play has a different tone quality, as if the notes come from separate instruments. I wanted to be able to play live multitimbral polyphonic music using as many fingers and feet as I had."[5]
TONTO was featured (as the "electronic room") in the 1974 Brian de Palma film Phantom of the Paradise. It was also used in the album 1980 by Gil Scott-Heron and Brian Jackson and was pictured on both the front and back covers of this album.

Damn, Cactus done fired me up!
SYNTHESIS:
The year is 1979. The machinery list is perty long.
Oberheim, ARP, Moog, ART, Deltalabs, there's more. The BIG MORE is the ATT-BELL LABS DIGITAL SYNTHESIZER.
Nobody had access the that massive machine, except Larry Fast (keys for Peter Gabriel).
Cactus, See what you done did?

Dale, I apologize for all the crazy music that is about to be posted.
Oh yeah, Good morning!!!!
Oh yeah, Good morning!!!!
I'm trying to teach Cactus about synthesizers. He don't know none too much about 'em.
So, Y'all please bear with me...
Poor Cactus. I'll edumacate him real proper-like.

Hmm... honestly I thought you were poking fun at modern electronic toonz. Calling you out? Nope. Think I know about music and electronic music? Yessir. Do I know what an LFO...VCO, VCF, DCO, DCF, Subtractive, Additive, or even PCM Synthesis is? Negative. Does knowing any one of those improve my hearing or taste/appreciation of what I hear? Also, negative. I will concede that your knowledge of instrument construction, origin, usage, development, and deployment is far superior to mine... but I only rely on my ears to tell me if something sounds good or not. Meant no offense if any was taken... and certainly not trying to "stir the pot".
GOOD MORNING INFIDELS!!!! ....and cactus!
The year is 1976. The SYNTHESIZERS are Sequential Circuits Prophet 5, MiniMoog, Arp Odessey.
Oh yeah, the geetar-playin' and lip-flappin' ain't none too bad either....
