Yes, and I pointed out that they were poor examples, largely irrelevant to anything.I provided some examples.
I'd have thought anyone with even half a f**king brain would understand that examples need to be relevant to have any value in a discussion. I obviously badly over-estimated your intelligence. My bad.and to no-one's surprise, you moved the goalposts to "relevant restrictions". which in your solipsistic existence basically means anything you do/don't want.
I didn't realise it was a race, that winning mattered. JM Jarre still makes music and undoubtedly is still doing much better than anyone on this f**king forum. Kraftwerk still pack concert venues, a much bigger audience than anyone on this f**king forum can pull. You want to focus on the tools but the tools really don't matter. Successful artists pay other people to patch synths for them because they understand that it's trivial shit that, ultimately, won't make a difference. It's ideas that make a difference, musical ideas. For some reason, a lot of you seem to think that you can put lipstick on a pig and everyone will fall in love with it. That's not how it works.In the same way that Niky Lauda and his McLaren-TAG would be totally able to win the 2024 world F1 tournament like he did in 1984, JM Jarre, Vangelis or Kraftwerk would have exactly the same success today than 40 years ago.
I've listened to all the demo clips in your signature links and there is nothing there you couldn't have done 40 years ago on hardware. Nothing. You might have needed a studio to put it all together back then but if you had a couple of subtractive synths, a DX-7 and/or a sampler, you could have done all that.
