When this soft-synth in general simulating ancient keyboards characters that have a special keyboard or keyboard-which is very popular in their time, the term 'vintage keyboard'. For example: Prophet, Moog, ppg, Hammond B3, Yamaha DX7, Rhodes Electric Piano Piano etc. including acoustics. At the time of first appear, soft-synth is not used as an alternative to the main computer because it is not yet sophisticated enough. When this computer is very 'powerful' that allows you to use this soft-synth is flexible.
advantage and disadavantage SOFT-SYNTH?
Benefits of soft-synth is a price that only the price of sepersekian regular keyboard synthesizer. In addition, in terms of sound, there are always additional new sound that usually can be downloaded through the Internet or can be purchased in the form of a CD, meaning the number of soundnya not limited. And because the form of software, there is a version upgradenya that allows the addition of new features that will not mean outdated. Terms for using the soft-synth is that you must have a computer and a MIDI keyboard (any brand) as a predictive tool, and both must be connected in a MIDI system. The weakness of the soft-synth is a computer that is used must be equipped with the rather minimal namely Pentium 3 with at least 128 MB of RAM. The more sophisticated specification of the computer, the more easier for you to use soft-synth.
In fact soft-synth is more intended for computer-based recording application used for adding sound treasures so that you do not need to buy a normal keyboard, simply use this soft-synth. To use the 'live music' still possible as long as you have a computer with a sophisticated & tricks computer. Of course, the need for 'live music', computer must also be brought to participate in the stage.
USING THE SOFT-SYNTH
How to use this soft-synth in general there are two kinds, namely as a 'stand alone program and as a plug-in. The definition of 'stand alone program' is a program / software that stands alone without the assistance software. When a soft-synth version of a 'stand-alone', it can be played directly by clicking the icon on the Windows software. While the plug-in is additional software that will be installed after the main software functionality. When the soft-synth in the form of plug-in, you have to use music software such as Cakewalk Sonar, Cubase or Emagic Logic ST as the main program and soft-synth is the main program is run through it.
In this article will discuss some soft-synth is being used by many musicians and issued by companies in this as well: Native Instruments, Steinberg, Emagic and Waldorf. One last note, even though some images from the soft-synth is shaped like a regular keyboard, but everything is a form of editing software that soundnya performed in front of computer monitors. Whereas for a play with the help of a MIDI keyboard connected via MIDI interface to the computer. This keyboard works only as a means of input and soundnya comes from the soft-synth sound that is channeled through the output of your Soundcard.
OF NATIVE Instruments FM7
FM7 software synthesizer that is made by Native Instruments, a company in Germany which is very popular in this soft-synth. FM7 is a simulation from the keyboard Yamaha DX-7 that was first shown in 1983 and became history because soundnya unique. DX7 is working with the technology of FM or Frequency Modulation. Frequency Modulation is a synthesizer technology that works by an oscillator (the modulator) is used to change the pitch / frequency of another oscillator (the carrier) to produce a certain sound.
Native Instruments FM7
Views FM7 soft-synth is made almost like the keyboard panel original DX-7. However the function programming soundnya exceed original keyboard so that it can produce a sound even better. Interesting feature is the keyboard sound from the old Yamaha DX and TX series can be loaded to the soft-synth FM7 to reproduce the original sound like a keyboard. FM7 with this you can generate analog keyboard sounds like (that is me with the AF-routing the service through the operator Z) or the pure sound of FM, or even a combination of both. FM7 also provides a function 'Easy Edit' is useful for you who want to edit the sound but does not have any knowledge of the sound programming.
FM7 Soft-synth is available in the form of a 'stand alone programs and plug-in. To plug-in version, you can use the software Cakewalk Sonar or Cubase VST. Authorized price is $ 299. You can download version demonya in the Native Instruments website: http://www.native-instruments.com
