    Hya guys, I'm new, have been lurking for about a year now (and have pretty much read every post in this thread).

     

    I know, read the rules.

     

    For those wondering about the font used: on the Syro webpage, if you check the CSS, you'll see that they used Decima Mono Light. I'm really sure that's the one they used on the album cover as well.

     

    Oh, and the page has changed, at least, the .com. There's links to the webshops on there now.

    great find

     

     

    Well spotted!

  2. Hi, I just had to reinstate by account to share this.

     

    I always reckoned the intro to Compulsion from 808 State's New Build was like a psudeo time-stretch (eh? eh? ) done on the FZ1 (right?). And it was confirmed not confirmed, but explained in the recent Sound On Sound 'Classic Track' article on Pacific State http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/apr14/articles/classic-tracks-0414.htm

     

     

    "We had an early Akai sampler in the studio — pre‑S900. It was a rack unit, and you could trigger that with a pulse or a rim shot from the drum machine. You could also alter the beginning and the end of it on a lever; do the sample start points. So, for instance, the vocals on 'Dr Lowfruit' and 'Compulsion' were done in the sampler, and we could really start messing with the trigger points and stretch things. That was terribly exciting back then, before we had time‑stretch — 'This sounds fab!'

     

    So they used the S612 for that, not the FZ-1. It's because you have sliders on the front of the S612 for start and end points so you can move through the sample manually like a really basic timestretch effect.

    Errr, so what abou the FZ1?

    It seems you can do the same trick accordng to this guy from Gearslutz http://www.gearslutz.com/board/electronic-music-instruments-electronic-music-production/926789-casio-fz1-questions-3.html

     

     

    Assign the filter to the mod wheel, use the multi point envelopes to move the start point around = bliss back in the day. Loved it.

     

    I don't really get his explanation, but that's what I reckon Aphex will be doing anyway.

     

    Looks like Richard was focussed on vintage samplers some time ago.

  3. Oh, nice identifying the font!

     

    Interesting - a Google search for Silian Rail font comes up with the fact it is in fact a fictional font, most closely visually to Garamond Classico Roman SC...

     

    And, it's used quite a bit on fictional business cards - very odd coincidence!

    http://www.hln.be/hln/nl/9092/Muzieknieuws/article/detail/1920442/2014/06/17/Kickstarter-project-levert-gratis-nieuw-Aphex-Twin-album-op.dhtml
