COMMENT: "I decided that if I could make the percussion sounds more 'realistic', then I'd effectively have a synth and a drum machine. For too long, people seem to have used the same techniques for creating percussion sounds (since Maniacs of Noise...). I think that a lot of people stopped pushing the SID, and the music (although great) seemed to be stuck in a rut. I knew FORTH was on the right track, as some people thought it was fake (using samples / multiple SID's) which made me happy! It was here that I also tested my theories for some of my percussion sounds. The hi hats and clap sounds were what I hoped would raise my SID's to a new level. The hi hats especially, as these really changed the overall sound of the SID. Most SID's don't have those high frequencies. And the clap, it sounded like a real drum machine. So again, helped change the perceptions of a lot of listeners regarding the pushing of SID boundaries." (JP)
