hrnguy500 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I'm anti synthesizers. Yes it will be interesting to see what happens this season but I'm very wary of what will be produced. No I haven't heard how it sounds yet. Basically we are introducing an artificial sound into the mix. I hope corps do not use synths as a crutch to mask poor technique in the hornline and drumline. I'm not a fan of people using WGI and such as comparisons for how electronics are good for corps. Last time I checked WGI and DCI are two different animals. Just because it works in one venue doesn't mean we have to or should use it in another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AverageJoe Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I've heard that Crossman are using 3 full time synth players this year. Sweet. How far off can the first lifelike realization of a Michael Jackson tribute be? Finally drum corps will be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heart sarcasm. :P I say forget Michael Jackson, and go for a John Tesh tribute. Talk about interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hrnguy500 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 How exactly would that work? At some point, maybe not this year, but in the future I see that synthesizers will be producing the sounds of a hornline. If you had a crummy mello line then you could hose them on parts and put their parts into the synth/electric keyboard and....boom you have a nice artificial mello line. Why have the hornline play any louder either when we can just boost the volume on the keyboards to "11"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why have the hornline play any louder either when we can just boost the volume on the keyboards to "11"? You really think they're going to be able to reproduce the timbre of a 12-14 person mellophone line playing a horn part spread across twenty yards in the middle of the football field with a synthesizer coming through a single speaker on the front sideline on the 50-yard line? This will not happen. Ever. Have you heard what synthesized brass instruments sound like? Edited May 26, 2009 by TSRTS13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
