Setting up the software instruments into a standard initial configuration puts me in much better shape. These are not the best instruments I have available, but putting something there allows me to sit down to the studio when I have an idea or just want to fool around and be able to start tinkling within a few seconds. I can put the ideas down and search for appropriate instruments later.
For this test, the first time I feel like I have truly used my Muse Research Receptor, I only went outside the initial instruments for a couple of things. For the rhythm guitar I used one of my old Kurzweil K2000 sounds which I managed to convert for the Kontakt software sampler.
The song itself is one I wrote years ago. I’ll start some fresh writing one of these days. Yeah, I know. I'm tired of promises too.
The bass was the free MinimogueVA, which I intend to use whenever a MiniMoog is called for. Can you tell any difference between it and the high end MiniMoog emulators? I can’t.
In the video clip the top keyboard demonstrates the MinimogueVA.
