Analord is all Roland V-synth

LOL
Just figured this out.
Analord = a roland
And the synth is V-synth.
Was looking into maybe getting a V-synth myself and after
learning more about it it's obvious.
Maybe even spotted a video featuring Richard himself under
the name Jamie Dawe:
http://www.roland.co.uk/vsynthgtpatchvote/jamie_d.asp
Though not sure about this.

It's a pretty funny joke i think :)
Making everybody beleive analord is all analogue (appart
from the obvious pcm drumcomputers on it) with all the
analogue equipment pictures on the vinyl etc haha
I allways wondered how the hell did he fuck up all that
analogue equipment in such a way to make it sound so
digitally flat, especially evident on the chosen lords cd,
on vinyl rips i heard it's a bit more hidden because of the
bad quality rips and the vinyl itself offcourse.

Ohyeah and I also know which synth Selected Ambient Works II
is made on :)
This one has been my long quest as it's my favorite
electronic music by far, have been searching for 15 years
now and finally found it.
It's also used a lot on I care because you do.
Also found the drumcomputer used on I care because you do
and richard d james album.
It's very doable to make this kind of music with this
equipment.
I'll maybe tell these 2 later.
Don't know which sampler he used for those older albums
though, maybe a Roland W30 or S-something, but I don't
really care myself.

Btw not to discrespect aphex twin in any way though.
Love his music and have done so for 15 years.
Have the most respect for aphex of all electronic music
producers.

Ohyeah and just in case anybody's interested.

Boards of canada seems mostly Ensoniq equipment to me,
especially ASR10 / EPS 16+
Heavily using the onboard effects, including later the
waveboy effects disks.

Autechre also use the ASR10 / EPS16+ with waveoy effects
disks (waveboy effects disks they made up big bullshit story
in sos interview about some nerd writing custom software for
them lol)
And they run DX11 through it.
My favorite album by them amber is done in the above way.
I don't remember why but I also though they may have used a
roland D50, though this may be wrong memory by me because i
can't really think of a sound right now that is the D50, but
i have bad memory anyhow.
Later albums where the sound goes shit they use a nord, i
didn't care about that so didn't analyse further.

looks like there a storm brewing!

I think with all the processing and various mixers etc, even
if you used the same synths as your favorite electronic
artists, it would never sound the same

My point isn't to sound thesame.
And the processing /effects etc is all inside the V-synth.

I'm not planning on making music like richard.
I don't even like rushup edge, i'm impressed by it yes but
don't like how it sounds.
I do like analord mostly though, but won't make music like
analord.
And not even sure about getting a V-synth myself.

But do hope the people who do like certain sounds on the
analord / tuss series or processing etc etc will see it's
the V-synth they're looking for, and not go spend much time
figuring out which analog synth a certain sound may be
comming from, or sequencer technique or effect or whatever.
Waste of time for people trying to make music.

I personally think it's stupid / asocial / fear driven that
aphex doesn't tell his equipment but i bet he himself thinks
it's funny.
Perhaps if he told more often and even shared some knowledge
on how to use it he himself would have more interesting
electronic music to listen to.

Ah i don't only think those things about him not telling
which equipment he uses.
I can understand it aswell. And in his situation i may very
well have done thesame.
Still, not telling is not exactly helping other people.
I care because you do should've come with an equipment list
for more value to the title.

I took that back allready.
Just happened to watch it while writing this and thought
hey.
Took it back after more thorough look.

Don't think it's an ugly synth myself btw.
Powerfull is what comes to my mind.

yeah that's bullshit.
one of his own excuses for not telling, maybe he even half
beleives it himself.
it's mainly fear of people copying him i guess.
which i can uderstand, but it's not very nice is it.

Wow, not to just be a hater yo, but this thread has really
depressed me. Feeling some sort of self-satisfaction that
you have allegedly worked out how RDJ created some of his
sounds. I'm a producer myself, but I really don't give a
fuck.

I just enjoy listening to the music. Sometimes I might think
'Ooh that production technique is interesting, how did he do
that?', but I don't then analyze the fuck out of it, then go
on a quest to find out the ins and outs of it, then debunk
it to make myself feel like his pedestal is reachable to
me.

Then keeping secrets on how he made other sounds, like we'll
now all worship you and beg for you to let us in on this
sacred knowledge.

No album should come with an equipment list. Why should it?
So you can shit all over it then rip it off. mdv, you're a
fucking clown mate.

and besides that.
electronic music is one half thought, other half interaction
with the equipment.
and nobody knows this better than richard himself it seems
to me.
so if you take that statement as him saying equipment has
nothing to do with it that's bullshit.
but indeed it's stupid of people if they were to use thesame
equipment as aphex to deliberately try to copy him.
but otherwise that statement is nonsense.
if for instance aphex made baroque music with a violin, and
i wish to do something radically new thought it all over
about deeper essence of music etc and i wish to write it for
violin, yet i don't know what this instrument is called.
then richard doesn't tell me it's called a violin so instead
of making music i'm searching and searching for this
instrument.
that's what the real effect is.
the other effect is that there are indeed also people who
wish to copy aphex twin. not telling his equipment is
effective in shielding his music and making it more unique,
giving him more money and perhaps more fame / respect?
these are fear driven selfish reasons.
though he would've gotten different respect from helping
other people make music.
Great composers in the past were often also teachers and
still we all remember beethoven, bach, prokofiev, messiaen,
etc

I'm so glad that RDJ would just totally ignore you're
bullshit about all those composers being teachers, and just
continue to be a musical enigma.

An enigma you'll never fully be able to comprehend.

md_geist
i did not analyse the fuck out of analord
i analysed the fuck out of selected ambient works II
why? because that's how my mind works and i have listened to
it a LOT because i like it a LOT.
now i've been searching for a long time myself for the
instrument i wish to use for my own musical ideas.
these are not small musical ideas they are very very deeply
thought out over many many years. much deeper than the
compositions of selected ambient works. i'm more classical
oriented and study just intonation / microtonality.
when i want something i go for it, so i see it as perfectly
valid to want to figure out which synth was used for saw 2.
it's not like richard made the synth, he only made music on
it.
and as for albums not comming with equipment lists, yes your
reasons are those of fear of people ripping you off.
why do you care if people use thesame instrument you do? are
you afraid you're not a good enough composer? and even if
people do, if you love your own music it would only mean
more good music in the world which is a good thing right?
or if you're afraid someone will make bad music with thesame
equipment than well you made good music with it right?

i do comprehend richards music.
how can you tell what i'm able to comprehend or not?

and i'm not saying anybody owes anybody else anything.
i'm just saying it would have been nice and good for the
world.
and i personally don't like that he doesn't tell.
now are you trying to tell me what i can or cannot
personally think??

Really, what I meant was that musicians should do their own
thing, be shephards, instead of trying to copy someone else.
It's his advice.

These men invented the music (braindance), if we don't wanna
let it stagnate, it's about time we reinvent our perception
of what braindance is. Come up with something new. A " long
hard think" is what is necessary.

LOL
Just figured this out.
mdv = Marek's Disease Virus
Two experiments in commercial broiler chickens vaccinated
with herpesvirus of turkeys (HVT) and challenged with
Marek's disease virus (MDV) investigated the effects of the
vaccination-to-challenge interval (VCI) on vaccinal
protection against Marek's disease, and the kinetics of MDV
and HVT load in the spleen and feather dander determined
using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction.

Was looking into maybe getting an commercial broiler
chickens vaccinated with herpesvirus of turkeys, myself and
after
learning more about it it's obvious.

Maybe even spotted a video featuring MDV himself under
the name Edarem:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFyP2yP-FWU

Though not sure about anything.

What i just made clear is that using thesame synth is not
copying someone.
That's ridiculous.
How many V-synths are made?
Oh analord uses the V-synth, everybody else destroy theirs?
Richard himself relies heavily on equipment made by Roland.
Roland deserves part of the credit for Aphex Twins music!
And why deny other people thesame equipment or knowledge of
this equipment / instrument?

Anyhow this was not what i started this thread about.
I hope in time this knowledge helps some people make music
and enjoy making music.
Also for me it's a good laugh and interesting knowing now
what synth analord used in contrast with the pics on the
vinyls.
I'm off for now you people are waaaay too negative.

you could evolve a form of music like braindance. I mean
first what did that genre evolve from? like detroit techno,

Now, lets crack on...

RDJ said in a Japanese interview that he did some field

I'd call it braindance, but I'm sure people would disagree.

But then I'm willing to call most of this stuff braindance,
and just get over board with all these definitions. Glitch,
glitch hop, drill 'n' bass, IDM, ambient, etc, etc.

Braindance should be anything that'd give your head a spin.
Something refreshing. Really we should just get rid of all
the idolatry and intellectual analysis, and throw the whole
damn structure to hell. No more artists, just music...
Then we'd begin by making something new. If he held in mind
that it'd be something new - not necessarily better, or more
advanced - wouldn't it be the only kind of guiding principle
we'd ever need?

It's by far the most honest and open aphex twin interview
