Default What motivates you to program sounds?
When I program sounds I think of:

Colours
Atmosphere
Smells
Imagery
Emotion

Thats why I find it hard to program dance sounds....muhahahah

just kidding mate

honestly - what better way is there to spend your days than creating you own soundscapes?

i program in anticipation of how those sounds will eventuate in the final mix of my next track

what i create is generaly a direct result of my current mood 8O

trying to recreat clasic analog sounds is what leads me to programing 80% of the time.
brass
syncs
warm pads
mono leads
fx
etc...

the other 20 is when i need a spacific sound for a track im working on.

I try not to think about 80s sounds.

[Edit] Ok, I like resonance, grit, power, texture.... Crystal purity and spatiality are great in contrast, too.

I think about playability when programming sounds. Gotta enjoy playing the sounds with heaps of control.

Yep...thats important HC. Its important to make sounds that are playable in some compacity. I must admit...ive made some wicked sounds on the Pro-One/Mono-Poly....that were just not playable.....but boy did it sound good!

On the Pro-One I made this amzing sound scape.once....tanks firing rounds in the distant mountins...a helicopter coming from the distance and flying overhead....and then the wind sound of corn fields moving in the breeze. i multitracked all these sounds and the imagery I got was amazing. Like something you see from a vietnam war clip. Alas i lost the recording....I would love to have shown you guys....

In my stuff, the synth stuff never even gets considered until after everything else is mostly in place, so I'm probably coming at it from a different angle than a lot of you. When I get everything else done, I will listen to the song and figure out where the gaps are in the frequency spectrum, and then I'll fill in from there with whatever patches I feel are appropriate for the piece...

Im seriously lacking motivation at the moment, so for me it is simply boredom......

Yeeehaaaa....

Out of interest is there anyone here who thinks synths sound best when only doing dance type sounds?
