The Moog Archives are neat . That to me is the way to make electronic music . I tried , I really tried with software synths and to me they just seem like a cheap joke in a way . I think it's part of the human way to have something real and touchable . Human beings don't wait for number crunching . If you plug in a Minimoog or any other analog synthesizer , you are ready to roll . A software synth , you have to boot up your computer , install the software , start the software , and then set up Midi .
I guess I'm like a guitar guy , I just want to make music . Computers are great for recording , and making the CDs , but that's as far as I'm going with them .

I love the old synths , not because they are old , I like them because it's all hands on and purely electronic . I hate sample playback , I do like the analog modeling synthesizers . The only problem I have with analog modeling is that they all sound the same , and they should , they are just computers crunching numbers . An old Minikorg sounds completely different from a Minimoog . A Yamaha SY-1 sounds different from the later CS series . A Roland SH-1000 sounds different from a SH-101 . Everyone had a unique sound because of the way they made the electronics and the way each company evolved . Number crunching can't get that , maybe one day , but not today . I think analog synthesizers are just one of those things that they got right the first time , can't get no better than that . Just like a Guitar player may say the same thing about a Les Paul or a Telecaster .
