ah 80s style stab
it's all about the enveloping on this
gimme a couple days i've sure i heard close to this in a preset

It's not the same, but there's a few similar things, like the filter modulation and obviously the enveloping

Hahaha, another victim! We've all heard this sound, just can't source it. Donk 5 in that pack is very very close. I'm sure there is something done to the sound after it's creation, there is a certain bite to it.

odd vst or some old analog easy

If you load up sytrus and go into the bass presets there's one called, "Squelch". If move the mod X/Y around you'll hit a spot that is damn near close to it. With a bit of tweaking to filter 1 and some chorus/reverb you could probably hit this sound right on the head.

i see what youre saying with that preset... still lacks the punch the stab has. its a strange one!

By tweaking stuff on the first filter I've been able to punch it up quite a bit. I would assume you could make this sound with that preset it just depends on your ability and knowledge of sounds and effects. As the old saying goes, "There's more than one way to skin a cat". My problem is I don't even know one way to skin this metaphorical cat so it's difficult to learn any other ways.

Another one bites the dust, another one gone, another one gone, another one bites the dust.

haha yes same, its shamefull to say but sadly i know fuckall about styrus and never even thought of using it for anything ever.

if anyone is still looking for this sound i've cracked it by accident, and had a search through and found this thread

its just a sawtooth with the filter envelope dialed up, a tiny bit of resonance and a lot of FM

if anyone is still interested i can record it (on my phone as i've not got my interface at the moment) for your thoughts...

I rinse "Inhale" on an alarmingly regular basis and have never really listened to Angels.I should do now.

Synkro=badman.

its a donk

maybe so but someone had to make the donk, and thats how they did it

Yeah, I remember Synkro saying a mate of his made it.

Let's hear it, broknocker.

Filter env dialed up? what does that mean lol

what i meant was filter (LP) envelope amount turned to the max

messing around with the envelope to try and get it right, and synkro's one sounds a bit compressed and also some high pass filter on it before a subtrack, but i cant do that without my interface

i'll record what it sounds like later today (but it will be through the mic on laptop for now!)

Yeah, I remember Synkro saying a mate of his made it.

????? what,, i don't remember saying that to anyone I spent timeee on that noise... Trust,, i made it.. x

I think he's mistaken, the Widdler mentioned using a donk made by a friend in his Q&A session.

Hahaha busted. Yeah my bad, was Widdler since it was from a Q&A session. Dunno how I managed to mix that up.

Full credit to Synkro...but just to be sure can you explain how you made it?
