You will have noticed a couple of custom loop sample files i have recently added, I have been experimenting with a plugin for logic pro x well it is actually available for digital audio workstations (DAW or DAWS plural) for linux mac and windows.

I have mac os with logic pro x and I thought I'd give it a try. It's awesome allowing you to customise similarly to that of alchemy synth in logic pro x, complete with a batch of preset sounds and a huge amount of different tweaking nobs and dials it can morph and shape all different sounds in the library into unique and fantastic custom synthesisers that you can play around with forever really the possibilities are endless.

With the ability to export as a synth instrument and import to, it's packed to the brim for creating your own unique and wonderful sounds for your projects, and speaking yesterday with the head of the project online I asked were we allowed to sell what we create or share them online freely.

The answer is yes we can as the legal side applies only to the re-distribution of the software but the sounds you create within are completely free of restrictions and you are after all making your own synth technically morphing another out of it's original sound state to make it your own.

I have begun making a few synths not just poly and lead synths as you have seen in my blog posted presently, but I have also made some sub bass ones and drum synths to, did I not mention there are varying sound type presets including bass and drums and vocals as well, i am yet to play and record the other types eg. sub bass and drums i am aiming to amass a custom collection of synths and then start making some songs when i get stuck using these, maybe also purely using the synths to make an entire song to at times or blending some sounds when out of loops from retail sources, it's the missing link for me producing music and i am going to get a lot more loops made potentially creating an entire pack or packs at some stage and share them out, for now i am dropping the odd one or two i create into the blog for download.

So feel free to use them for anything even commercial music productions I do not mind and above all enjoy.

A software well worth a go for anyone interested in trying to get creative from scratch making new and unique sound libraries all of your own, with some patience and some perseverance you should be marvelling at the wonders of surge and brimming with pride in what you make with it it's a whole lot of fun.
