Hey All,

I'd like to take some time to share a little bit about me. First of all I'm a musician. I've been making music for about 5 years and have become pretty good at it. Secondly, I started out using Reason as my #1 choice for music creation. However within the past two years I've switched to using vst's via FL Studio and I now have version 8. I find that it a lot more flexible than Reason because of the many vst instruments that can be used. This is what has brought me to SM. The ability to create my own vst from scratch to suit my needs as a musician. I'm still a noob though and it will take some time for me to fully learn the program. I'm no math wizz either, in fact the highest level of math that I completed was Algebra. I never took calc or trig so the idea of writing my own code seems a bit daunting to me to say the least. A lot of what I read in the forums seems like another language to me, it doesn't make sense, especially when people mention algorithms and bi-quads???? I would love to know what such terms mean so that I can better produce a quality vst instrument. From using synths most of my life, I know how to make them work. I can use them to dial in exactly the type of sound I'm looking for. As a result, I find that assembling basic modules together to form an instrument is a simple feat nonetheless, but completely understanding the inner workings of the synth is something entirely different! Anyway, I am willing to learn as much as I am able to, and have been digging through the archives to find every single tidbit of information as I possibly can.

Anyway with that being said, I would like to invite you to check out my web page. It has a Reason section that includes a few of my own patches. It also has a music section which features my latest songs. You can listen to them right from the player. I also touch base on FL Studio and some of the features it has.

I designed the page to look like a modular piece of hardware, sorta like how Reason looks. Here are a couple of screen shots of my page:

Little by little I've been trying to update my site as much as I can. So I will definitely have to put one on there.

There's an SM button now! 🙂
