Music Porn - Synthesizer sex.
I've seen a Beam played. It was at a Free Jazz show, and the only uncontrollable reactio I had was the need to forceably remove the player from the instrument and show him how it needed to be played. I'm fairly certian there's music trapped in the instrument, yearning to be free, but the only sounds that guy could make resembled a cat trapped in an oil drum.

And not only that, but "Cat Trapped in Oil Drum" is one of the most readily available presets on any decent synth nowadays. I use it all the time.

Ah, is that what it's called? I think of it as the 'rending metal' patch on the Access Virus. I hear that all the time these days from groups as different as VNV Nation and Thomas Dolby. Everyone seems to have one of those things...

Actually, I lied. I hate presets, and I use an actual cat in an actual oil drum all the time. Just don't let the Animal Welfare/Humane Society people know, OK? If they take away my cat, my promising career in music will come to a screeching halt.
Hey, "screeching"... that gives me an idea for a new track.
*heads for studio*

Now, is that the Martin Pre-War Cat-In-A-Drum, the U.S.-made 1978 Fender reissue, or one of the newer Japanese knock-offs? 'Cause, really, if you're even going to bother you need to get vintage.

I find that a half-hour in the dryer for kitty knocks the sawtooth down and I get something much more like a string pad. Its Angelic.

This myth is alot sexier than the brown note myth. But the brown note is waaaay funnier to think about.
Wouldn't this be called the Pink Note?

do you guys prefer hard synths or soft synths?
Also, didn't Howard Stern prove this?
