Adam Schabtach (of plug-in
developers Audio Damage) has posted a
great video showing Silent Way in
use with his modular synth. Synth modules in the
video are an MOTM-300 VCO, an MOTM-440 four-pole
LPF (both by Synthesis Technology), a CGS Wave
Multiplier, and a custom-built VCA.
Also of interest in this video is the audio
interface, which is a Frontier Design Tango modified
by Adam himself for DC-coupled operation. He’s
documented the mod here.
We also make synth
hardware, in the form of Eurorack synth modules.
"Instruments that sound good inspire better music,
and it's a struggle to make music with bad-sounding
instruments, irrespective of how talented you might be.
Software instruments are no different: although they are
usually discussed and sold in terms of their 'features'
what really makes you return to an instrument
repeatedly is the much more elusive factor of inspirational
sound quality.
"I don't know enough about programming to understand
why some software tools fascinate you while others make you
want to get another job, but I do know that when I use
anything by ES I get excited by what I'm hearing. These
tools have the sonic richness of great analogue instruments
- with the features of innovative digital ones."
