Music Thread?

[Soundquest]

Should we do  a "post your music" page like the old forum?   I'm mean keeping the occasional songs connected to individual instruments is fine but I'm thinking this might get to be a rats nest to search thru after a while.  A new user might want to just go right to posted music that DSI players make.

Definitely. Maybe we can do a sticky thread at the top of this forum.

You'd have to ask one of the administrators for that.

Actually, any moderator can sticky any topic in their respective forum. Sharing your music with other musicians is great, and it would work well for each forum or parent forum to have a dedicated place to post links of this nature.

But who's the moderator on this thread?

There is none yet. I could do it, if you need someone else. I offered it months ago anyway.

Paul Dither,

I'd say go ahead and do it if you know how.  I really don't see any harm in doing so.  If there is someone administering this forum from the DSI company and they wish to eliminate it or set it up differently, then I respect that.  But for now it looks like "they" are not checking in very much.   However....first...

Perhaps we should wait another day or two.  Does anyone oppose this or perhaps have any input for how we should do it?  I mean, I had always thought that it would be nice to "suggest" that any posted music on this "official page" should have at least one DSI/Sequential instrument involved.  Just to keep it from being a free for all.   ?  comments?

I got in touch with "Robot Heart" last night about volunteering to moderate the section "General Synthesis." I'll let you know what happens.

As for the music: If it's featuring a DSI/Sequential instrument that's fine and probably highly likely anyway given that probably only DSI users register for this forum. But I wouldn't make that a requirement. If someone likes to share some music, it shouldn't really matter what equipment had been used. That's at least what I would say.

Done! I've kept it very open for now.

I think if someone would like to showcase a certain feature or sound of a specific DSI/Sequential instrument that evolved into a track, this can either be posted in the "Share your music" thread or in any of the sub forums that are dedicated to the individual instruments. I would say it depends on what you would like the listeners to focus on: the music or the character of the instrument. Of course that is sometimes not really separable, but you get the idea.

Thanks for doing this Paul.

[Paul Dither]

No problem, Soundquest.

I've merged it with an earlier attempt.

Whole thing is pretty- but the flute like part at 4:00 is just great. 

[Sacred Synthesis]

Thanks, Soundquest.  The flute-like sound used for the melody is the Prophet '08, while the soft chords are the Poly Evolver Keyboard.
