V-Tribe compilation...

Good idea! Let's make a good compilation! Whose music can be put in this CD?

Well, I already thought of this.

Basically, we have to think if we'll collect tracks created only with V-Synth (e.g. by recording multiple parts into a DAW etc.) or those that just use it extensively combined with some samples and other synths etc.

I think that there should be room for other gear in the compilation- I use the V-synth right now for the majority of my leads, pads, bass ect. But I use other stuff like kontakt and drum machines- but just about everything gets mutilated in the V at one point or another in my production, the only sound processing tools I use aside from the V are waves diamond bundle, soundhack spectral shapers, and stuff from the smart electronic suite. But I think there should definetly be some sort of guidlines in term of having to display heavy usage of the synthesizer in more than one way (e.g. processing of loops, synthesis, use of filters... ect.).... but if not, I'm willing to work within confines- I'm sure that since roland has a link to this page on there sight they would like the later....

Well I'll be your huckleberry....

How about both?

1. Strickly V-Synth using only the on-board effects (recording multiple parts into a DAW to build up tracks).

2. Tracks featuring the V-Synth as the main synth (lead, pads, etc.) but with other synths & samples allowed. Any form of post-processing is acceptable - in other words, anything goes but the featured synth must be the 'V.

See how many submissions you get and let that steer the compilation. Perhaps you end up with two compilations... could be very interesting.

word... I still am up for this idea completely.... I figured this was a dead thread.... which kinda confused me considering how many peoople show of their track made with the V-synth, MAN! Lets get this rolling and set up the guidelines... really, this would be so dope..... I know this will would be a successful comp among ther forum!!

Well I'll be your huckleberry....

Okay now, I will think about this seriously.

nice initiative, but... Only using the v-synth is way too much work with bouncing and stuff. So i think we should be allowed to use external fx and synths. In the description we could point out which sounds or vocals are done by the v-synth.

Well, then we should make a requirement that there should be at least 50% of V-Synth in a contributed track.

Agreed (at least 50% v-synth)... But what about presets? Should they be allowed?... I lean more towards having to use origional or altered patches... samples would have to be non copyrighted or owned as well (assuming this comp would be sold to keep the site going strong). And what about covers? I'm sure this would pose problems as well... I'm just tossing some guidlines out there... I think we should take a poll on the site to see what other members think about doing a compiltation, as well as to see how many possible contenders we might have to contribute.... I'm getting excited.

Well I'll be your huckleberry....

all original patches and at least 50% v-synth. those are my votes.

Only with original material? No I won't agree with this limitation. It would cut the amount of participants by at least 75%.

maybe it's a better idea to do a different project first, just for the vtribe website. Instead of making complete songs where the vsynth playes a dominant role, we could make just 'small' vsynth only demo's which focuses on what 'extreme' or 'beautifull' things a vsynth could do. The results could be posted on a specific part on this site (user demo's or something like that).

I think an initiative like this would be more appealing to the users of this forum and i think there will be more people joining this project because of the lower entry level. It also will give some extra insights to what vsynth owners can do with the vsynth.

If this relative easy project will be a succes than the next step could be to make complete songs for the website or cd.

I can understand how the setting a limit of all origional patches might stifle submissions... Some people just like the presets- and they are pretty good. So whatever is clever... I'm gonna crap on that last Idea, don't mean to be rude robinez, but really, I have been hearing alot of really good complete songs on this sight that people are just throwing up for scrutiny and constuctive critisism, definetly comp worthy stuff. I think that if these same people actually had a goal such as contributing to a compilation, that we would see far more material being sent in... there are an awful lot of members on this site and the number just keeps growing, and I'm sure that if they took notice to a compilation being put together, that we would definetly see some amazing results, I don't doubt for a minute that this isn't an endevour we couldn't handle, I think the sight is mature enough for a project like this. I really think this is a good idea...
