Arturia Satisfaction: Sound banks Presets (I'm satisfied or not ;) )

Sound Explorers Corner Free speech

My first ever synth (I gigged with it) in the 80s was a Korg MicroPreset M-500.

I discovered electronic music in the eighties, as a teacher of computer languages (C, LISP, PROLOG) and an amateur musician, I was thrilled. The DOS DAW Voyetra was quite popular.
No internet, no endless supply of free synths as you aptly put it.

Those that want to make their own sounds or tweak the sounds others have made.

I started on a used SQ-1, then a used VFX. Both had never been programmed! The owners of the shop were working musicians and did not have the time to program and tweak.

It can become almost an addiction rather than a necessity

Yes, that was my point. I have a good pension plan but I know younger (or older) musicians (amateur or pro) have to make hard choices. They should not fear missing on something if they can’t buy a VST or a bank of presets.

Hello everyone,

It’s been a while since I last posted on the forum, but I’m still in transition mode.
For now, I’m taking a more serious approach to getting my PC back in working order.

I had a problem with the Windows 10 update (resolved), then Native Access due to Daemon (resolved), and now I have free Dorico 6 (no big deal, I don’t use it, but oh well).
Although I had the opportunity to upgrade to V Collection 11, I also took advantage of the promotion for _VC11 Expansions.

But it’s mainly for the preset library by Davide Puxeddu, who created _Floyd Tribute III.
For my part, I’m not only happy to participate in the purchase but also to highlight the quality of his work. Furthermore, it’s always a real pleasure to follow him on YouTube for his excellent demonstrations, also highlighting his kindness .

If Arturia could allow us to find him more often in the Preset Banks or in demonstrations for our greatest pleasure (well, even if I speak primarily for myself, I know that many here appreciate Davide).

Musical Friendship.

Hi Pascal,

I agree entirely on Floyd Tribute III which I also bought and with Puxeddu’s work appreciation in general.
The organs, the pianos and the multis are great. I’m only missing a steel slide guitar.
There is one by Ample sound, but that would be pushing things too far. :stuck_out_tongue:

To me Pink Floyd is More, Ummagumma and Echoes.
