Or you can forgo a lot of unnecessary effort and just write porno music. /shrug

Oh hey Onorok. How do I use my Korg DS-10 synthesizer? I know absolutely nothing about music, and I mean zilch, and for some reason whenever I look at this synthesizer on my screen and pull out my stylus, the sound coming from the speakers sounds like a crappy attempt at porn. Help? Any good site you know of? Thanks.

I haven't used a DS-10 before, but best bet might be to check out youtube.com for some tutorial videos and get some ideas on how to start modulating the sounds. I guess maybe start with a basic sine wave and start messing with the attack and release times. Also look for some user created patches that you can download, you can probably find some good ones and eventually disect them to see how the signal flow works for the sounds.

Also, what speakers are you talking about? The ones built in to the DS? Because if that is the case, you're probably not hearing most of the frequencies that you are potentially making. And if it sounds like porn music, maybe write a porn track or two. I think there is some money to be made in that market, and even design firms buy original music.

And I put up two recent songs on myspace.com/ransomdj - "Flexotron" and "Tighten Up" being the two newest ones.
