Best music software HELP SAVE IT

[D6team]

Looks not bad, I remember also very interesting program on Amiga called Symphonie. Was also quite innovative with lots of possibilities, but needed a bit more "advanced approach" to this I think. BTW> how comes, that some corporations are killing so much of good software :/ so is it when the guys in ties are taking command over sciencists, engineer, pasionate people...

[FantikCA]

fl studio 10 sucks dis is woooow so nice

LOL NOT :PP

[tron944]

I still have it on a "vintage" Mac G3 (beige) running OS9, there's nothing out there that can replace this great program. It trully can do somethings that many other modern sequencers cannot do today

[VashTheStanpede1]

how call this programm



[2DPolygon]

LOL out of sync LOL

[Allinfun6789]

@keyzone72 It is old because they quit developing it. If re-worked to operate in OS X it would be better that anything out there.

[Allinfun6789]

I went with pro tools, but as far as midi SVP 4.5 blows Cubase away. It is just the easiest way to deal with midi hands down. Can cubase operate a light board, play midi and 12 tracks of audio at the same time?

[Allinfun6789]

There were many offers to purchase the software from Gibson. Gibson claimed that they had lost the source code. Today, I think their wold be a way to crack into the source code and some clever programers could make a new SVP. I am not a programer, so I have no idea how hard it would be to reproduce SVP for Snow Leopard or how many programers it would take, or how long it would take,

[deepsignalstudios]

@Allinfun6789

How do you propose we save it? At this point I don't think the source code is that useful. It would need to be completely re-written for OSX. It seems pretty simple these days to hire someone to make an iPhone or iPad app, so perhaps with some sort of crowd funded effort we could hire someone to write it in a Mac OSX native format that could read old files and have the same look and feel. The only new features I think it may need is running modern VST/RTAS/AU plugins.

[Allinfun6789]

Well, many studios are still using SVP for things that would take much longer to do on any of the modern software designed for midi and audio. SVP could still be a very useful product if the right people would upgrade it to work on modern computers and operating systems. Adding in all the features that are used in Logic and Pro Tools without changing the window and tools it already has.

[canna4life]

What a lot of people don't realise is that Vision was copied quite a bit by the other seq co's, look at the arrange page, also they were one of the 1st to offer HD recording welded onto a midi seq.

I always wondered why Gibson did such a stupid thing. They could have sold it to another software firm.

Imagine how Opcode Vision would look on a mac now, if it was brought up to date...!

[Flipjunkie1]

I will stick with Logic pro , but that was fun to watch and way ahead of its time , but really not better than what we have now ! and i wonder what professional studio's still use this that this guy who posted it keeps talking about ?

[VforVendicta]

LOL

[dissyNL]

5:16 i bet that aint his only pink shirt

[profiterlolz]

1:34 FIX UP LOOK SHARP!

[kesomezo]

OMG this is so funny! I mean they're like 'do you know what a sequencer is? and what about that special and useful quantizing? ooooooo' xD I still find Reason & Record very promising, and Cubase is very professional but the setup is made a bit in the old-fashioned way in which you need to know how the hardware works before you can use it properly without getting lost

[ElasticMinds]

everytime i hear about this program i think of NIN's Downward Spiral. Used this program extensively along with turbosynth. That album still blows most industrial out of the water to this day.

[TheMuzlee]

i Prefer Fl studio and Cubase .

[mrblackout2000]

lame

[leshanesaw]

where can i buy the guy trying to sing?

[moglia]

Help improve a Free Software like LMMS (Linux Multimedia Studio) it´s verry similar. Open Source can save old software. Adding some features on this software to LMMS for example.

[potar]

Follow the bouncing ball! I need this software for system 7.1 if someone has it.

[eyeteetoo]

The only thing missing is the ability to use today's audio effects plug-ins. I recently purchased a G3 and I use it for Vision. When my song is arranged, I convert it to a MIDI file, then import the MIDI file into something like Digital Performer on my Mac G5.

By the way, MOTU's Digital Performer is the closest thing to Studio Vision. Its predecessor, Performer was Vision's chief rival in the 1980's when both were first made.

[eyeteetoo]

I have been using Vision since it debuted in 1988. Without a doubt, Studio Vision (and Vision) are the BEST sequencers ever made. Those who never used it simply don't understand the beauty of being able to record sequences in patterns and link them with ease... and the ability to put patterns within patterns within patterns... or you can lay a song out like all the lame sequencers out there now.

[Merkaba334]

where can i get this for pc?

[eyeteetoo]

search mechodownload for it

[NicoderJunge]

i thinks its a n old vision of fl studio ^^

[9287alexandre]

SIIICCCKK !!

[mentor342]

how to download it??

[DurbanAccomodation]

I think the Brilliant theme music must have been composed on this amazing piece of technology ;-)

[iloveanalogue]

I'm proud to say that I've been using Studio Vision on all of my compositions for many years, and hope to use it as long as I can. But, since the developers have all gone on to work for Apple, Digidesign, and others, is there really that much of a push to bring back Vision and OMS when you can run a perfectly good system with some old Apple hardware that can be gotten for cheap? There's no need to save Vision, it's still here! The best sequencer Ever! Amen!

[neolojism]

In the video he's recording several tracks one after the other without stopping the sequencer. I think the latest version of studio vision (4.5?) can do this, but it's a bit convoluted.

I like the gui layout of the old vision. 4.5 has overlapping windows and they're a pain in the arse.

[neolojism]

I have studiovision! It's still available from some website - download for free.

It's the best gui sequencer I've used, very flexible. In combination with my old unitor8 mk ONE its unstoppable, and tighter than any new computer. New midi sequencers pale in comparison.

[efhve]

Is it possible to make my own music with it, I mean, techno music, such as scooter and other famous techno artists? and what programs do they use?

[eyeteetoo]

@efhve You can ceate anything with this. You will need a sound source. See my comments above

[zig2b23]

how do i get this and do i need a music keyboard for my computer? how many different tones are available for it?

[eyeteetoo]

@zig2b23 the Vision software does not contain any sounds. You can use it to control external MIDI sound modules and keyboards through a MIDI interface such as the M-Audio 2x2 for the popular Midiman devices. You also can buy sounds that support the VST technology and play them from within your computer without a MIDI interface. I hope this helps.

[Papachair]

16 tracks!!! omg... I can't live without it!

[jollypop2008]

whats this shit..???

[ojaybeat]

??? no Latenz??????????

[TheAsiaticStatic]

Wow, it was way ahead of its time.

The title says, "Help Save It". How you gonna do that and why would you wanna do that? Don't you think your 20yrs too late?

[Allinfun6789]

Did you read the whole story? This is the only video of the product that was developed to be Studio Vision Pro. Gibson still owns the software. PROBABLY too late, but it is still used in many studios today. The audio is way out of date now, but it is still the best and easiest way to make music via MIDI. Nothing can touch it even though it was canned 9 years ago.

[MajorFilmMusic]

Haha it's like that first garage band ever. This is so old. If I went back in time and showed the the latest softwares they would die of facination

[Allinfun6789]

SVP remains the best MIDI software sequencer ever created. Professional studios all over the world still use it for sequencing MIDI devices of all kinds. The BEST feature of SVP is the ease of use. ANYONE could jump right in and lay down tracks like a professional with out cracking the user manuel. Pro Tools, Logic Pro and Reason can do everything SVP can do in MIDI, but have a VERY high learning curve. Gibson (who killed Opcode) reported that they lost the source code.

[jedition85]

this guy is a dik. wtf?

[Primorcon]

this is very informative

can you still get it?

[Oscarskate1001]

is this from the 70s??

[Streamline1990]

ahahahahahahhaahahah yes it seems so..omg

[ChastenLouise]

looks early nineties to me

[GWORLDTV]

I got cubase and reason,..my question is,...where can I get the hotest,newest samples,sounds, sample librarys and vst plugins,...I need new sounds you know,..thank you

[lacan75]

i wonder if reason 5 is comming outaby time now...any clue about it?

[WARDISWARD]

OPcode was the best ...little kids working with fl studio and cracked software just don't realise ...cause they probably weren't born

I want that bouncing ball ...looks dope

[everettem4]

Pro Tools is the best

[trkkazulu]

Dude, this was the original Protools front-end.

[Allinfun6789]

What, are you saying there was better software in 1988?

[eyeteetoo]

@Allinfun6789 Yes! Vision's capabilities have yet to be duplicated

[RNBJ22]

propeller heads reason 4 is better

its so eaSY

[Axledog56]

1:37 the best

[boogiebuddy01]

damn!! that keyboard is huge

[MagicJigPipe]

This is better than FL Studio (Fruity Loops) because it has support for actual music notation. I FUCKING HATE that about fruity loops. It is potentially the greatest program ever but then they leave that out? How are real musicians supposed to use FL to their greatest potential? FL Developers = idiots because of this.

[Galactu5]

I wonder if there is a plug-in that would allow that sort of functionality?

[huggybear4sh]

FL studio does pretty much this and more.

[ENigma9001]

Trent(NIN) used this to make Broken, lol

MIDI METAL! RAWWR

[Galactu5]

Nice program and sexy vocals!

[kashmankashief]

he sounds like a half dead moose during mating season...

[chepevc10]

wow the worst vocals ever!!

[whatsontv1234]

I never thought they had software as developed as that back then

[KinG4L]

SOunds Like Porn Music

[adaher1988]

what is the name of this program?

[strawberryfields1982]

Does anyone know of any free software thats good for doing rock drums on i don't have space for a real drum kit. Any information would be greatly appreciated Thanks!

[nicoo300]

sonar producer edition

[eyeteetoo]

@nicoo300 I like Sonar too, but it lacks pattern-based recording capabilities.

[lamerang]

Addictive Drums are amazing.

[strawberryfields1982]

Cheers!

[seddut]

thats cewl for those days, its fantastic software, nice hair duuu lol

[tobu01]

holy shit thats freakin old

[shanetube1984]

Now THATS old school! Do do, do do, do do doo, Whoa-a oh ohhh! hahaha

[claudioaudio]

gay ass vocals!

[zellymusic]

i want this for my old Mac running 9.22

[Eddy438]

There is or was a website where you could download it free. Let me see if I can find it again. But, be warned, it's a nuisance to run.

[vadim9687]

The interviewer hates the music guy...

"the low end sounds like computer music, the high end sounds like real music", what a moron

[Eddy438]

This is probably still the best music software but after Gibson Guitars purchased OpCode, it was no longer supported. (I'm talking about Studio Vision Pro.) It can still be run on a dual-boot Power Mac using system 9.2.2 but not OSX.

Thanks so much for the video!

[Allinfun6789]

I know, I HATE that nothing can be done about this. I still use the SVP with an aging machine, but it does everything any of the newer programs do an much , much more. Try operating 3 synths, a midi controlled lightboard and playing 8 tracks of stereo sound at the same time. I run entire productions , lights, sound and MIDI controlled synths, curtains, house lights and anything else that can be controlled via midi.

[vksolanki]

Ahh - The good old days :-) Thanks for the vid.
