I work with Cubase (4) combined with some sample libraries like 'Symphonic Orchestra' and 'Stormdrum I + II' by East West. The midi controller I use for playing and recording all the sections is a M-Audio 'Keystation 88es'.
Don't forget the factory presets of Your Awesome Brain as well as Excellent Musical Instincts.

Very true Not to mention the time it takes to play every single section on your own ^^

I was thinking about collecting some inspirational thoughts about a new piece and I would like to know what you thought might be interesting to 'hear'. The only thing that I have in mind so far would be honoring Positron in giving him some sort of a theme.

Well he is a Radiation Blaster so maybe some inspirational notes punctuated by percussive blasts throughout... something like the 1812 Overture (not necessarily the melody or pacing but the booms )

Hey that's a really great idea I haven't really thought about that before and I will keep that in mind. Big thanks

You're welcome Hellstorm.

Another thought on Positron, depending if you are talking about pre or post Rikti Portal incident,
is that even though he stands in Steel Canyon now with his helmet off before the Dark Watcher restored his
physical body he was perpetually trapped inside his suit unable to ever take it off lest he destroy everyone and everything nearby.

It may be a real challenge to do so but if you've ever heard music that conveyed a theme of being trapped
or isolated or restrained, perhaps some overtones of that could be incorporated as well.

These are really great. I particularly like the Fliege and Dark Eye pieces.

Teams are the number one killer of soloists.

I started working on the 'Positron Theme'. It's gonna be a mix of classic and electronic elements. Thank you all for your nice input and ideas
