Ok....it's not perfect, but it's starting
to get a little scary. Here's a country
tune done totally on the KORG Triton workstation.

I am not the least bit scared. The fiddle and the nylon guitar (I guess that is what that horrid sound is) are pretty lame.
The steel sounds like a keyboard player doing an imitation of a steel player doing an imitation of a keyboard player trying to sound like a steel player.
I guess it works for the self inflicted one room staring at a computer types. $137 package song demos comes to mind. |

| What's scary to me is that an awful lot of movie and TV soundtrack music, radio commercials and the like are being done by one guy in a room with a bunch of synthesizers, and people's ears are being conditioned to accept these cheesy plastic sounds as being the genuine stuff. Why pay a whole band or string section when nobody notices the difference? |

Well, that's the thing. I've been
recording steel tracks here & there
for local folks doing demos. This
simulation stuff ain't for purists,
but for someone on a budget it
seems good enough alot of the time.
That translates into less bucks for us. |

The Korg Triton is silver-colored. If they made a black one, I'd be scared.

is 'rap' an accepted form of music now?
couldn't free zero point energy have replaced petroleum products for energy 50 years ago?
if war didn't stimulate income for someone, would there be anymore?
oh, nevermind... |

The reason I started playing steel is that I tried to do exactly what this Korg demo tries to do--use a synthesized (or sampled) steel in a sequenced country song I was writing. I found it impossible to get the right sound on a keyboard so I thought I could at least learn enough on a real steel to play with the track and get an authentic sound. (Yeah, right.) Four years later and I'm still not there!  [This message was edited by Bill Llewellyn on 05 July 2003 at 10:55 AM.] |
