After a solid decade of quitting music, I recently made the jump back in and I’d like to get the most out of this sucker I can. Fortunately, I had a K2500 way back when and I’m very comfortable with the VAST architecture (some tweaks have been made in the intervening years but simple enough). Much of the previous functions are the same, however this obviously has a lot more to it than the K2500. Beyond the requisite deep diving into the manual, I’m looking for any groups or forums that might be worth checking out, particularly in the areas of working with the synth algorithms as well is DAW integrations (more specifically, Logic). Also, I have very limited knowledge in terms of sampling, but plenty in recording, scoring, and sequencing, and naturally I’d like to get out of this as much as possible. As well, any books in general on sound synthesis and design would probably be worth looking into. I have some very specific questions, but not sure if they’re worth asking in a general forum.
In terms of music I like to do (if that matters), it’s probably more along the lines of Brian Eno/Johann Johannsson, so ambient/modern classical stuff. No ambitions, just making music for myself.
