Thought this shot was kind of funny. The Synclavier isn't exactly the sort of synth I think about taking with me out to play on my lap in the woods. I guess if someone is bold enough to bring that out along with the computer, there could be a power generator sitting just outside that shot. Via Failed Muso where you can find more shots. As for a soft synth, he also found this intersting blurb on the Synclavier site:
"I am researching the possibility of creating a Synclavier® "plug-in" for several hardware platforms that would recreate the "Synclavier® Sound" by accurately modeling the actual operation of the original Synclavier® hardware. I am convinced that, by utilizing 96/192 Khz 24-bit technology, such a plug-in could faithfully reproduce the sound of a variable sampling rate digital audio system. This project will take between 12 and 24 months."
One would think the River would be more portable than the Synclavier :)
ReplyDeleteI used to have several of those old DEC vt100/102 terminals. I think I still remember the ANSI escape codes for double height/width. Way cool.
