Open Question: Screamo bands that have a synth lead?

I'm trying to do some research on some screamo bands that have a synth lead in their songs, because i need to know which kind of synth i need for my band. I'm currently looking into a Roland GAIA SH-01, but i'm sure if it will be worth it. I'm just looking for something preferably cheap that has alot of capabilities. So, if anybody also has any recommendations on Synthesizers please feel me in.


Open Question: Are there any other vst's or synth's besides VOPM with Sega sounds?

I been trying to look for Sega Genesis sounds to use for my music but problem is they can be really hard to find and all I got was the ultimate mega drive sound font and FM Regression sound font they don't sound like Sega enough so I need some better suggestions here. I am looking for
a vst or synthesizer with something pretty close to these sounds. I posted some videos
from youtube below have a look and tell me what you think I love Sega Genesis music and
I would be very glad to have these sounds! at least a pretty close one not vopm but any kind of
vst or synth with compatibility for FL Studio is fine with me.

Here are a few videos to show the kind of sounds I been looking for
and wanted to have with my FL Studio.

I love the mute trumpet part at 0:30 of the Shinobi 3 song above.

I notice the same trumpet sound at 0:07 of this video above.

Also below is a video of presets from a Yamaha FB-01
which sound pretty much like Sega Genesis.

I would love to have these Yamaha FB-01 instruments as sound fonts or from a vst


Open Question: Iphone sequencer app?

I have two applications for making music (FL Studio Mobile and NLog MIDI Synth) but unfortunately it cannot combine their tracks so i was wondering if i there was a synthesizer that lets you take the save audio on your iPhone and combine it in a sequencer. (I do not have an iPhone but i do have an iPod touch 2G so it would be preferable that it works with that one but I'm about to get an iPod touch 4G so anything that works with that is OK)

Open Question: Should I get a MIDI Controller or a Synthesizer Workstation?

I'm uncertain whether I should get a M-Audio Axiom Pro 61 MIDI Controller or Yamaha MO6 Synthesizer. I have Reason 5 so I could use the Axiom Pro to control that. Could the Yamaha MO6 do the same? I want the MO6 because you can play live, etc. but I'm unsure if I can use it as a MIDI controller for Reason 5. Thanks in advanced!
I'm also worried about a latency lag. Will there be one with a the Axiom Pro and my HP laptop?

Resolved Question: What is the name of the sound effect used in the opening bars of Origa's "Inner Universe"?

Everyone who has seen "Ghost in the Shell" has noticed the joint effort of Yoko Kanno and Origa in the song "Inner Universe."

The opening of that song uses a strange sound effect. But since this sound effect can be made with a synthesizer, it is probably available as a named sound effect.

Does anyone know the name of this sound effect?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIVgSuuUTwQ

If I had to guess, it is probably a sound played backwards through an echo chamber. I don't know how many artists have used this sound.


Open Question: How to Connect Onkyo home theater system to laptop or desktop?

I have Onkyo entertainment system that I would like to audio out to my laptop/desktop.

The parts to the Onkyo system are:

Onkyo Stereo Cassette Tape Deck TA-RW111
Onkyo Integra Stereo Graphic Equalizer EQ-35
Onkyo Quartz Synthesizer Stereo/AM Tuner T-4010
Onkyo Compact Disc Changer DX-C120
Onkyo Audio Video Control Amplifier A-SV620

Do I need a cable to connect to one of these (I assume the Amplifier) to the laptop/computer?

Will it still work if I take out the tape and disc hardwares?

Thank you in advance!
