You’ve got me thinking about Behringer. But indeed, Alex, his layered samples and snippets of cut and pasted 100-m patches really show and prove, that all one needs (besides a scrutinizing good ear) to produce some serious soundscapes and tunes is really just a monosynth as the basis for a catalog of building block sounds, and a PC with interface to consolidate, tweak, and arrange those sounds. So often, a friend or relative will criticize me for wasting space by hoarding all types of gear and equipment that already exists as an app on a tablet screen. “No, it’s not quite as hands on” I’ll say. But I feel somewhat guilty for not being able to appreciate apps just the same as real hardware. THANKS YOU GUYS, FOR SHARING!!

Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to explain the jolly singers in his rendition of Jupiter, the fourth movement of Holst's Planets Suite. These singers interrupt (presumably from deep space) a lush chorale at 5:20 (kzitem.info/news/bejne/1Xp81ZenkoWjmXo). Whether you rise to this challenge or not, I hope you enjoy this blast from 1976 and I look forward to your next musical offering!

I read that Depeche Mode had a System 700(? i dont know all the roland gear) modular set up in the studio . They had set a rule that each person had 10 minutes a session to try to get a sound. If they couldn't get a sound in that time, they got booted and someone had chance. When they were asked why, they stated that with a big modular, you could spend days just working on one sound instead of working on the songs the sounds were a support for. Anyways cool collab for a favorite new (to me) KZitemr.
