That's how creativity works, be sure to record those sounds and make something out of them.

A pretty nice recording device! Have you tried the audio interface on that? I'm asking because we're talking about audio interfaces the other day and you could test it with Reaper to see how it goes - just saying

Ok, back on topic: I own a Virus C and I don't have the sound driver installed (yet) so I'm going to look into these sounds and see what I can come up with, BUT, I'll only be able to give some advice for the sound design and not the patch file - until I get my MidiQuest software installed at least.

(btw, anyone else using it on the mac for storing patches and all of that? that's my solution, since the sound driver is not supported anymore on the mac... any input on this would be most welcome of course)...

and what about the others here? this used to be very busy when it came to sound design advice, no? let's not turn into gear sluts XD
The Zoom R24 is a much better recorder and even looper than audio interface...tried. The LCD on the Zoom is fine for stand alone but for DAW integration it's simply a crowded mess and not utilitarian for at least me. had it not been for that, I could have worked around the absence of midi. However, because plan to get Izotope Iris in future, it will be perfect for importing field recording samples. Where the R24 will be very useful in at least what I plan to be working on is recording different synth ambient/atmospheric tracks and then later while working on something going to Reaper in DAW via Scarlett 18i20 have output of the Zoom going to another input at same time, and using up to 24 different tracks on and off as a pad sampler, freeing myself to the dedicated synth actively played/tweaking knobs. The built-in mics are actually quite good for field recording and then you can edit starting and end points on that LCD before potentially importing .wav file into Iris or just as a looping sound to activate in and out...very nice gift.
Off topic, I know...I LOVE "Dancer In The Dark"!! I saw Bjork when she was with "The Sugarcubes" whilst stationed in USAF in Iceland 1985/1987 in downtown Reykjavik, performing on a large block of ice top level above the stairs of this public skating area in open area near around downtown. very surreal and wonderful and still love her voice and music. He movie was incredibly emotionally moving!
