She is the goddess of synthesizers and one of the first people I stumbled upon when I was learning about synths: https://youtu.be/UsW2EDGbDqg

Synth sims are the cheap way to go. Cardinal is an open source fork of VCV Rack. It can be used standalone or as a plugin with your favorite DAW.

https://cardinal.kx.studio/

All the concepts are the same as modular “euro rack” synths. Voltage lines, oscillators, the works. You even use “wires” to connect everything.

All YouTube tutorials for VCV are generally applicable to Cardinal, btw.

If you want to go the DAW route, it should work with the free version of FL Studio. It’s just much easier to do full tracks that way. However: FL Studio is not easy to learn and even less so when you are integrating something like Cardinal.

Edit: I apologize in advance if this post is the reason you fall into the money pit that is digital music.

She was not only a master composer, she also helped with the development of the Moog synthesizer, the first commercial synth.

You left your SI in that link. It’s a tracking code Google uses to tell who you’ve been talking to on other websites.

I had the switched on Bach cassette when I was a kid. I thought it was cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yn0HAWX1TSA&list=PLLICd7vQi7iGUyErozBAwgcr4F49kxiXY

Yeah I saw some videos of her trying to dress up as a man in some presentation video about an electronic instrument and it just felt so out of place. She’s definitely a woman.

This seems nuts but it’s true. She had privately transitioned but hadn’t yet come out in 1970, and had to make some public appearances wearing awkward fake sideburns (and maybe a short-haired wig?) to pose as a man. More info here on Pink News.

I’ve known about this woman for years and been a Tron fan since I wore out the VHS when I was six, and I never realized they were connected.

Yep. Made the Tron score sound like a video arcade, hence the ubiquitous discordances. This piece titled The Light Sailer features the Tron Scherzo (What I think of the Tron Theme, though now the love theme is called that).

Check out her album Sonic Seasonings sometime. Really amazing atmospheric stuff!
