my dream synth would have two, maybe three oscillators, with a filter, a couple of envelopes, maybe an lfo

surely something like that exists

@sean_ae I hope I’ll watch a new synth demo one day and see something like this. 🙏

We can but dream.

@Cognessence such an opportunity
@sean_ae truly. Imagine what they could achieve if someone finally put the filter and envelopes in the same box? and if they even made the oscillators controllable by a keyboard?

@Cognessence oh now you're talking

you could even have the envelopes triggered by the keys

@sean_ae My gosh! And what if each key could somehow send information about how hard it was pressed? It could be like a real instrument…
@Cognessence steady on lad, one thing at a time
@sean_ae @Cognessence you could add a thingy dingy so other synthesizers could play along. Perhaps even - hear me out - a device that could play percussive elements in time.
@changterhune @sean_ae Oh, “in time” might be a bit of a stretch! We’ll be waiting years for that.
@Cognessence @changterhune @sean_ae What if one of the oscillators could somehow change the frequency of one of the other oscillators. I know, it sounds crazy and impossible. But I think it could sound cool.
@defaultmediatransmitter @changterhune @sean_ae Oscillators within oscillators within oscillators within oscillators. 
@Cognessence @sean_ae thats a weird idea i dont want your modern gate and cv thingies near my precious oscillators!!
@toffo @sean_ae I’m so sorry, toffo. I was going to say…Imagine if there were some way to “store” our settings between sessions? Perhaps not in our lifetime. And perhaps it should never happen, as you said.
@sean_ae been looking for this for years, but best I got is one oscillator and a filter that keeps blowing up
@sean_ae a revolutionary idea, but we know that's just beyond modern technology. one day perhaps.
@sean_ae and yet the ancients tell us there are always going to be limitations.
@sean_ae EMS VCS3 is just one envelope short of those requirements.
not a gear-head myself - strictly in-the-box, but if I had money to burn I'd love one of those in the wooden case
@GuyBirkin that erica one looks fun, doesn't sound very EMS but i like the patch storage
@sean_ae what about an oscillator that would hmmm modulate (???) an other one…
@kaneel could be dangerous
@sean_ae we could just make sure we provide the right hmmmmmm formulas?????
@sean_ae Even awesomer would be if you could somehow record its output and play it back. We can but dream.
@sean_ae Ah, a diddley bow.
@sean_ae Pfff. That's simply not possible.

@sean_ae DUDE i get the rhythm of this post but I think I made something exactly like that in Csound.

It was one of the best things I had played with, everything that I've tried made by someone else hasn't given me the same joy of that thing :' )
