The reason why it may not even BE a reese is simply because legend has it, that the whole album was created using samples. DJ Shadow style. But to me it sounded tooo 'perfect' to be based on samples and sample mashing alone.
lol legend has it... if it's a sample, it's a sampled 'reese'... which is a reese lol. a 'sample' doesn't have a distinct sound like a reese, hoover, wobble, etc has. it's a sample of a sound recorded from your synthesiser... in this case, it would be a recorded reese (if in fact they sampled their reese)... just try what i said and you'll be at the sound. tweek some parameters and call it a day.

Durrr, yes. That's what I assumed in my original post. Someone just posed that it may not be a reese and I was adding on to that.

I did not say that I knew how to create it (or how to create it exactly, I just noticed it being a Reese and heard chorus/lpf cut-off modulation).

just read my easy 1 step tutorial and call it a day :) (it's the general sound your looking for).
people needa learn to open a synth, be creative, and not ask for everything (not directed towards anyone). how do people expect to be innovative :(

Get out of it.



Oh and, why are you assuming everybody is going for the same goal as you? That is, being innovative.

I'm listening on shitty laptop speakers so I can't actually hear proper bass. The only thing I hear at the times you mentioned are an arpeggiator which is easy to program.

The arp is a squarewave alternating between two notes up & down. This is easiest to do if you have a synth that has a built in arpeggiator. Set the arp to 'up' and the arpeggio range to a couple of semitones, then play your tune holding dow each note to allow the arp to do its bit.

If you have to program it on the midi paino roll, just draw in two notes then copy and paste them to create a longer arp. Remember that the bottom note is the base note of the arppegio. It may be easiest to program to position the bottom note in your pattern as the note that 'plays the tune'.

Hope that makes sense :oops:

Thanks for the arp help anywaym too bad about the bass.
If I describe how it kinda sounds, is there a way you can point me in the right direction to achieve a similar result.

It sounds kinda subby, but driven, when I listen in my headphones.... ahh feck it.

I think it might just be his 'general, one for all synth' but played a couple octaves lower. I think I can manage that one.

If you are talking about the bass and not the arp'd thingies, I'd say it's sine/square + noise on a low level. To get that crisp sound use tape saturation.

Why though? lol

One sound that I will never find any reason to want to make.

The sound at 1:14 is a short cymbal crash over the top of a filtered snare roll. Use a low pass filter and go from completely filtered (filter cutoff 100Hz) to completely unfiltered (filter cutoff 20kHz) over the duration of the drum roll.

The Bass also kicks in at that point with a long attack on the synth that produced that sound.

yeh, sorry i meant the bass. do you think its just a long attack that makes that? not some pitch modulation? how do you think the bass is made?

This is simply an overdriven sinewave, although using tube saturation instead of an overdrive distortion will give you a brighter tone to work with. Definately a long attack on the filter adsr with a low pass filter being used. Try a medium length attack, and short decay, sustain and release. ;)
