Can anyone help me with how to make the sound on Funtcase's Wizard Sleeve just after the drop at 26 seconds.
It is the sound with the pitch bend I'm after. Sounds like they've routing an ADSR filter to the pitch of the oscillators which are playing two detuned saws but I just can't get that sound! Seems like he's also majorly detuned them after the sound has sustained for a little while but not sure.
Tips on the whole sound would be good!

I do plenty of FM synthesis and sound design, I'm aware that modulation is anything that "modulates"... I'll try out the white noise, but how is modulating the pitch going to help me?... The issue here is that I've been listening... very carefully!... and I even have a really good method of reverse engineering sounds, which is why i've got close to the basic timbre... but why is there's so much more epic? I mean it has epic written all over it when you hear it... mine just sounds like a hi pitched phazy square wave patch, more like a dr. dre gangsta lead type of soundkejk wrote:Not every modulation source is an LFO.
As for your question - try some basic square waves with white noise. And fuck with the noise. Modulate the pitch. Keep listening to the lead and find out what's missing in yours.

There's a 320ms delay on the sound. Some of the notes are very short, and keep interrupting eachother, on the same pitch, it's just to trigger a new amplitude envelope.
Keep at it. Don't forget inserting or sending some slight reverberberation.

To be honest I've been trying this one for a while....can't nail it. I've tried bit crunch (to a very slight degree) and minor settings in camelphat. Dimension expander, slight large-room verb...you name it..
anybody got any ideas?

Hmmm, I will definately try out the delay... really, thanks for the reply man! Most people just tell me "try square waves"... 0_0... I've been beating myself up over this sound... heard it one more time in a dream theater song too, wouldn't surprise me though...

It's a reese bass.hutyluty wrote:The main synth in Lion VIP please
Layer a couple of saw waves and detunes them. Add saturation and distortion. Modulate subtle things before LFO>cutoff to give it some life.
EDIT: Also resample the bass. This gives it that typical "effect" that if you play a higher pitch, the modulation will be faster.

It's a great sound, but it has been around for over a decade. Listen to some DnB, reese basses have been used a lot. And I mean a LOT.hutyluty wrote:Thankyou! every tune i mae is gonna have this in from now on, just this, no drums or nowt

Don't forget to split your frequencies, either. One of the bands also has 1 ms of delay on it to give it that 'biting growl'.
I once got pretty much the exact same sound while just messing around with a split reese, chorus, distortion and 1 ms of delay.

Actually, the detuned saws should give plenty of phasing... I wouldn't bother with another delay on top of it - or it will sound rather metallic or somethingGenevieve wrote:Don't forget to split your frequencies, either. One of the bands also has 1 ms of delay on it to give it that 'biting growl'.

There's 1 ms of delay on at least one of the bands. It's clearly ringing, I can hear it as I'm typing the reply.Re: The 'help me make this sound!' thread

You can either try adjusting or using the pattern on this website or I have basically just about copied the drum loop from colourgirl - Joyrider which would be the following:mindcontrol wrote:how to garage artist arrange their drums/percussion? reason 5 preferably
The basics of which would be load up a Kick / Snare (rim shot/ clap / whatever) / closed hat / hi-hat / shaker
Put it on a 32 step sequencer and place the following:
kick on - 1 - 8- 17 - 24- 27
Snare on - 5 - 13 - 21 - 29
Closed Hat - 3 - 7 - 11 - 15 - 19 - 23 - 27 - 31
Open Hat - Soft on 14 - Medium on 31
Shaker - 1 - 3 -5 -7 - 8- 9- 11 - 13 - 15 etc
Copy the pattern to the sequencer and fire up the regroove mixer and open up an MPC shuffle and experiment with which one gives you the most interesting swing. hope this helps this is of course fairly basic you can add alot more interesting percussive hits and clicks in between beats just to get you started.
