How would you making a Feed Me or Gemi Style Synth?

[bri1]

Has anyone attempted to make a Feed Me or Gemini style synth for quick arpeggiations?
I'm going to guess how to make it but I am by no means a synth/sound design expert. I think it would be a square wave with a quick attack quick decay time with a low sustain level and a quick release. With a little Reverb.
What kind of input do you guys have?

You nailed it buddy.

Ahahaha. You've probably got one part of it right. Feed Me basses sound like just really tough reese basses. That or his distortion is through the roof. Gemini's is pretty easy to do. And can be done multiple ways. Take a simple square. Add some sort of chorus effects, and either side chain it or just toss an modulate your square with a rising lfo wave.

He's talking about making the classic arp sound not basses. Feed Me basses is just sine shape the fuck out of shit

Feed Me is just Spor doing electro so go look up some reese threads on doa like noisia type sounds and they should be what your looking for. Then its just melodics with gemini's and feed me's stuff, they usually use really simple chord progressions, however their mixdowns and sounds are like unbelievably tight. Getting that is just practice imo

But yeah OP you're pretty much right on the money. I would just distort as necessary and maybe add a bit of portamento.

yeah, although he probably starts with saw waves or samples that he turns into Reese's. Or with a FM synth, square/saws and automate the operator levels.

also, had a lot of luck with noisa type distortion by having analog distortion followed by a compressor, then eq. Then repeat this at least 3-4 times in series. play with the comp and sat settings, and it should toasty up that bass line.

also, automation (operator levels, filters, the basics) and pitch bending is absolutely necessary to get a feed me sound.
