Black Octopus - Monster Kicks, only got the free samples atm but Im well impressed with them

Posted: **Sun Dec 16, 2012 6:45 pm**

I'm surprised no one mentioned Vengeance samples! Their kicks are some of the best I've heard, especially when layered. Truth be told, I've had quite a bit of difficulty with layering (phase cancellation I can't seem to get around no matter how hard I try) which is why I usually end up finding the most suitable and best-quality sample I can and EQ, compress, etc. the hell out of it to make it the best it can be in the mix.

It sounds like a simple square with reverb, but I can't get it. I have no idea really how to just explain it, but here are a couple of examples.

At about 2:20

At about 1:19

Any ideas?

Just made soemthing similar in Massive:

Square wave @ -12
Saw wave @ 0
Envelope 4 in a pluck shape
Lowpass with cutoff on a similar pluck shape, but softer from Env. 1
Very slight delay with short time (done outside Massive)
Large Reverb (done outside Massive)

Playing chords/multi octave set of notes helped.

experiment with having the distortion towards the end and adding random things at the start of the chain (you'll get a completely different sound if you added a flanger towards the start of the chain if there is heavy distortion placed at the end)
there's no set rules but i feel i get better results using short carefully automated chains with a lot of distortion at the end.
last tip, try this on reeses as well since quite a few jump up basses are processed reeses.

Alrighty, I completely replaced my FX rack and added a pitch envelope I got more punch but something doesn't seem quite right.

Anyone know how to make the laser machinegun style bass at 1:27 (its the main bass for the most part in the track but its really clear starting at 1:27)

Anyone know how to make this kind of sound, the sound is the clearest starting at 1:27 (its the main wobbling laser machinegun style bass throughout the song)

Posted: **Mon Dec 17, 2012 1:10 am**

just sounds like a reversed ramp lfo on the filter (subtle), and an lfo to amplitude.

Grab a buzz/formant type of FM wave (start with a saw then modulate it with a triangle wave), lowpass it, then add a comb filter and attach an lfo to the lowpass cutoff and the comb filters phase. Finally distort/saturate/eq. Hope this helps you.

Okay sounds good gentleman I will try that and tell you how it goes. BTW is their any way to do this in massive rather than an FM synth. I could do it using Sytrus, Toxic or FM8 but I am not super comfortable with FM so it might be more difficult. And any help is greatly appreciated as always though.

I have a patch that sounds very much like that one somewhere in my library, gonna see if I can upload it later or break it down for you

I would bet that it's made in Errorsmith/NI's Razor. There's a preset called "Gentle Wobbler" that sound really, really similar.

It sounds like this:

EDIT: Btw, the thing that really gives it that "lazery" sound is the Comb Notch filter in Razor.

Here it is

Wasn't that similar, but a bit. Some processing will get you there I think.

Hey guys !
I'm looking for a VST effect that would achieve something like you can hear on this video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44mqaOtLhbA0
at about 1:25, now the sound i'm looking for is the rising and falling high pitched synth in the background, now it does not sound like pitch change nor like a phaser . . what's that effect called ? kinda feels like a falling star, or whistling . . very intresting.
Thanks in advance !

Posted: **Tue Dec 18, 2012 9:49 pm**

Sounds like something being pitched down, and also filtered in with some reverb to me?

Posted: **Tue Dec 18, 2012 9:53 pm**

Any attempts to pitch change something high pitched like that resulted in some robotic and "sharp" sound alteration which sound teribble . . kinda like using pitch bend on the MIDI keyboard when playing a pad . . not a very nice sound . .
This is just an amazing sound . . anyone else want to try and lend a hand ?
