Something To Think About

Companies fill their synths with up with sounds (and everyone does this), so now you got thousands of presets! I never use any of the presets, I have my sort of stock templates to start a sound from, and I will just putz about until I find something I like. I never get anything done if I go and look for the preset, I am actually developing a piece of music if I make a sound.
