An Idea/Challenge for Someone (I failed)
Posted: Wed Feb 12, 2020 9:27 am
I was reading about the Korg Lambda and though it was a cheezy divide-down thingy, it's basic concept and structure got me thinking about doing something roughly similar with combining Martin's Randy with the String synth thing. I thought maybe two pannable copies of the Randy 'engine' and a single String Orch (but my version with two 'sources' that can be interval-tuned), set up somewhat like the Lambda. I did a rough assembly to test the notion and as far as I got it, proved capable of some gorgeous combinations (as you would imagine). If any of you have opened an instance of Randy with String Orch you know what I mean. The Korg Trident and ARP Quadra were similar, 'ensemble' type instruments.
Problem is I just am useless when it comes to handling all that blue/packing/unpacking, as I've admitted before. Especially since I thought it would be cool to have Korus and MVerb in there too with the three sound sources independently routable in different ways. There's working out stereo/mono stuff; I'm just not capable of working it all out. If someone wanted to engineer this thing, I'd be glad to do a GUI, or maybe Robert would be willing do one of his ultra slick, modern interfaces.
I just think Randy+StringOrch, and possibly the Karplus Strong would be a wonderful, powerful music tool.
