Now if you’re like me, you just don’t have a spare thousand dollars lying around to buy one of these synths - however, the good news is that the technology has come so far now that there are many digital tools we can use to effectively replicate that classic hardware sound and feel. The thing is, if we want that ‘rough around the edges’ sound, it can seem like we need to start filling our studios with old analog machines, which in today’s world are actually the scarcest and most expensive pieces of equipment on the market! These days, with the ubiquity of top quality samples and state-of-the-art music production software, us producers have everything we need to make music that can stand up alongside anything in the charts.īut what about those of us who hanker for an edgier sound that has an almost punky aesthetic? Those of you who are into the likes of Omar S, Levon Vincent or Randomer will know what I’m talking about.
