Good program for Synth/MIDI Controller?
I want a good program that uses a midi controller (keyboard) to create amazing synth sounds, preferably something along the lines of FL Studio 9 or Propellerhead Reason.
I'm in a band and I need to write a synthpop song in less than 20 days, please give all suggestions possible.
This really depends on the particular type of sound you need. A good all-around package would be the Korg Legacy collection. The Analog Edition offers replicas of the MS-20, PolySix, and the Mono/Poly. These are good for that classic analog sound (though you won't be able to get that truly analog feel with a digital replica). The Digital Edition offers the Wavestation and the M1. The wavestation introduced a great new for of synthesis that offered amazing possibilities. The M1 offered the most realistic sound in its day. Native Instruments FM8 is another great one that offers an intuitive FM platform. Also, Arturia offers plenty of classics.
I've written plenty of synth pop, and I find that it can be done in a variety of ways. Some of mine are done with plenty of digital sounds, while others may use a single analog synth. It's all up to what inspires you. Digital and analog (or virtual analog) each have stregnths and weaknesses, but they both compliment each other quite nicely.
