Dual Monophonic Playing
Posted: Fri Jul 31, 2009 8:44 am
I have always liked Analog synths because of their performing features.
Seperate Oscillator Glide, Portamento Low or Last note Legato's, and rock solid snappy envelopes.
But thankfully our DSP programmers include these features on some synths and it really helps out on the bottom end of each hand.
I tried to demonstrate this by holding down the lowest note on each hand so when I play an upper note it glides right up and snaps right back into place when the upper notes are released.
This is cool for Bass Drones, and also monophonic psuedo power chords.
In the studio Guitarists of Yore always did their droned chords seperately if they were in power trio groups like Rush, Hendrix, etc.
XOR does this really well for the distorted power chords.
Bowen synths all have the Oscillator glide now so they can do Bass and retro leads really well too with the old drifty authenticity.
