...or do you see it from a non-purist point of view and credit it with being an unusual and surprisingly flexible synth in its own right? (I nearly typed 'convincing' then too, but thought I'd best get your reaction first )
Considering using the odd QuadraSID sound here and for the Half Avian stuff, we're keen to gain a bit of identity through using 'signature' sounds as it were and keep things simple in that respect - as opposed to letting endless possibilities swallow us up and end up having every track sounding completely different/incoherent etc. We always use loads of feedback delay, LFO pitch mod, simple drum sounds and so on, so were thinking it'd be nice to replace the odd standard synth sound with a chip sounding alternative, could be effective if just used as one element per track, for example. We both share the 8-bit nostalgic love thing of course, but MIDI'ing up a C64 for live use is obviously going a tad overboard - unless Hubbard Himself was going to turn up and 'spit rhymes' over the top of it and shit
Anyway, was just interested to see if a Dominik Diamond type like yourself would cheer or jeer at the prospect
