Il y a quelques VST en effet, et des très bons comme le minimoog V de Arturia par exemple, ou le Legacy de Korg que j'évoquais plus haut. Néanmoins, les très très très bons valent souvent le même prix (voire parfois ils sont plus chers ...

) que les machines. Si tu te destines un jour pour le live, c'est quand même bien d'avoir au moins quelques machines et non pas que des VST.

DANIEL MILLER'S STUDIO
(avec en prime quelques notes de sa part à propos des synthés)
SYNTHS
EMS Synthi AKS suitcase synth.
"It's really handy to have a hard disk recording facility with some of these old analogue synths, like this one, because the synths don't have memories and sometimes you'll never get a killer sound back a second time. It's great to twiddle away for hours onto the hard disk and then cut and paste the parts and make up loops."
ARP 2600.
"This was used on every Depeche Mode record I worked on."
EDP Wasp.
"The Wasp is really important because for a certain generation it was the first really affordable synth."
EMS Synthi 100.
"This is one of those instruments that you would drool over in synth history books. Only about 50 were ever made. This one was part of the electronic music studio at the University Of East Anglia and they weren't asking very much for it, relatively speaking. Lately, I've been doing some remixes and it's appeared on those."
Kawai K5m.
Korg 700S.
Korg MS20.
Korg O5R/W.
"This is my one concession to multitimbral sound modules. It's a good sketch tool."
Moog Minimoog.
Novation BassStation.
Novation BassStation rack.
Oberheim Xpander.
Synton Syrinx.
"This is a brilliant monophonic synth -- in fact one of the last monosynths -- from the early '80s. It isn't a modular synth but I find it very flexible. It has three different independent filters which make it sound like nothing else."
Quasimidi Rave-O-Lution 309.
"Great name, great sound, and great real-time control. Gareth Jones (producer and remix partner) and I did an entire remix just using this and a little Yamaha SU10 sampler on his kitchen table, direct to DAT."
Roland MKS80 Super Jupiter.
Roland System 700 & System 100M modular synths.
"It took about five years for me to track the 100M down. These were partly bought as collector's items, although the 700 was used to treat some loops on the last Depeche Mode album Ultra."
RSF Kobol.
Studio Electronics Obie-Rack.
"This is effectively two Oberheim SEMs in a rack, with MIDI, and was a gift from producer/remixer François Kervorkian. He was raving about these when he worked on the last Erasure album and he said if he ever came across one of these he'd get it for me. It's got some really good sounds."
Waldorf Microwave.
