Thanks for the tip though..it took me a minute to figure that out too. Whoops, I completely misread your question, I thought you were asking why, when you turned OSC2 off, OSC1 wouldn't be playing anything. Haha, sorry.

Vibrato on a chord, that's all

That's not necessarily the same though. Pitch LFO on single OSCs is calibrated so that the same amount of bend gives you the same amount of cents on every note, while when you're putting vibrato on a chord after the fact, it moves everything up and down by the same amount of frequency changes. For example, a heavy pitch bend of 2 half notes is like 3Hz at bass frequencies but more like 30Hz in lead synth ranges. If you apply the vibrato to the individual notes in a chord in the synth, they will bend to the same relative point musically (C minus two half notes will always become B flat, sometimes changing the frequency by a little, sometimes by a lot), changing the relationship of frequencies within the chord. If you apply vibrato on the whole chord one step later in the chain, the chord retains its specific frequency ratios between individual notes. That means that it will lose some of its musicality, and it will sound different.

To add to this: When you use distortion, distort L and R with separate fx (and use something with a certain randomness so that you don't end up with mono anyway)

Yeah it's an LFO on the Filter Cutoff, with another LFO controlling LFO1's rate.

There are tons of sample CDs that have something like this. Standard for many "hardcore/gabba/hands-up" style sample packs, too. (And then pitch shifting those I guess.)

You can make deep chords in just a synth, not a problem. Just take a pluck patch, play a chord somewhere in the lower octaves, low-pass heavily and play around with bitcrusher, reverb, delay etc. to flavour it.

FM8 is pretty much the polar opposite of analog modular. FM is nothing like subtractive synthesis...

Sounds really simple, as in saw wave, volume env with fast attack mid decay, low sustain, low release; lowpass filter with env (fast attack, fast release, 0 sustain). If you need more attack you can put a quick envelope on the pitch (about the same as the filter, maybe a little shorter)

SaucyLoggins posted:I think someone actually asked about a similar sound in this thread before but I can't seem to find it. It's been in a lot of UK songs for the past few years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKh9BedNVR8 at 59secs. Try a single saw wave osc (no unison), rising volume and vibrato. edit: playing lots of notes, with the vibrato synced. If your synth doesn't do that, record it without vibrato and apply vibrato to the sampled line. wayfinder fucked around with this message at 23:56 on May 4, 2014 |

HaB posted:This thread is insane. I can't believe some of the poo poo you guys are able to recreate. First sound: probably a simple square wave with a bit of white noise, high- and lowpassed together and possibly with a slight, slow vibrato. make sure the volume envelope is a perfect gate, without ramp-up (the sudden start is what can produce those clicks) Not sure what you mean in the second example... if it's the low slide-whistle, that could be approximated with a sinewave with a narrow, pitch-synced bandpass, overlayed with soft bright noise (think ffffffff instead of SHHHHHH). The signature here is in the portamento (also called glide in some synths) - set it to a relatively high value so that the notes slide into each other.

Popcorn posted:How can I recreate the super-detuned dreamy synth sound at the start of Loving You (Original Version) by Michael Jackson? That's a typical FM E-Piano, should be available as a preset in any FM synth. I don't think there's a lot of detuning going on in the patch itself, it sounds more like a very slow but pretty severe vibrato, like a warped record.

ianfx posted:Does anyone have ideas on how to synthesize bee sounds? Buzzing/etc. I could just find a sample but it would be cooler to synthesize what I want. Think about how the sound of a bee works: it's a certain number of wing beats per second. Find out how fast a bee beats its wings, then think about how single beat would sound, and repeat at the bee's wing beat frequency. I'm thinking it may work with a noise as the base sound, and a bandpass modulated at a bee's wing frequency, in a shape somewhere between sine and square.

I think it's a highly resonant bandpass over some noise, overdriven and clipped to all hell, with a gate sidechained to the non-hihat drums. The bp frequency is automated, perhaps randomly upon each drum hit. edit: Yup. 3 minute sketch over one of my beats: https://soundcloud.com/wayfu/lcratchytest/s-al5RK wayfinder fucked around with this message at 14:00 on Sep 22, 2014 |

I set the bandpass frequency to change randomly every 3/16th note. The rhythmic pattern is completely driven by the volume of my drum track, via the gate's sidechain input. The input noise is a continuous sound with no dropouts.

I think it's pretty much impossible to tell anything about that bass sound from this particular recording. A little about the volume env, a little about the portamento amount, and then there's nothing else that could be heard from that video with any accuracy.

I'd try something like a noise with heavy tremolo, a resonant bandpass for getting the tone, put a damped, 100% wet reverb on it as an insert (so only the reverb is played and not the original sound).
