@Norv Thanks for listening, and your comments. I'm afraid a disasterous crash was never on the cards - not really my thing, although the 'Apprentice' gets a bit borderline in places :) @James Originally I did have a percussive sound the the 'Clockmakers' theme, but no matter what I did it never sounded right. The sound I finally used was a happy accident while clicking through various options. The idea of a cartoon/animation has been mentioned before, and I do intend to follow up on it. There is in fact very hard quantisation on all but the lead lines (which were all played live). I take your point that the timing is a bit borderline sometimes (although in the 'Apprentice' this is quite deliberate of course). Apart from some of the percussion, all the sounds are created in ZynAddSubFX - even the TickTock. It may surprise you to know that the 'Machine' is totally Zyn. Thanks for listening, and your very detailed comments. -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
