So I just demo'd harmor because of this thread and I'm 110% sure that I'll be fucking buying this. Probably the best synth I've ever worked with o.O

Hahaha I know right? They should rebrand it as a "great sound generator". Literally blows any synth out of the water as far as ease of use goes. Great modulation too. I think I'll be STRUGGLING to make something shitty with this :0
Really fun to use and shit

yes! keep resampling adding disortion and chorus to mids and highs

. Try to distort more as you go up in frequency.
Use fabfilter Saturn it's a handy tool when distorting by frequency if you want you can try with guitar cabinets too.

use on each band a different distortion for example. 80-100 clean tape 100 - 200 warm tape 200-400 rectifier (simulating a guitar) 400 - 800 (heavier distortion) 1000khz and above use some fuzzy distortion.
Blend all bands to taste. I did a messhugghish reese some weeks ago.
Mix is not great but you get an idea of the massive results you can get. the bass sounds almost like a guitar.

Yeah man sounds better

Now it needs some crispiness up there!
What do you guys think of the reeses in this track?

I'm going to explain how I made the reece I posted last night. Here it is, in case you haven't heard it yet.
Soundcloud
This reece is a lunacy reece mixed with a couple detuned saws and a tiny bit of white noise. I added some filter movement with the double notch and highpass filters, then a parabolic shaper and some clip distortion. The most important part is using two unison voices and slightly detuning them to get a very prominent phasing sound. Then, I added an audio effect rack to get three parallel filters: a lowpass, a highpass, and a bandpass, and added another chain with distortion. Then, I added another chain with distortion and a sweeping notch, and highpassed it around 2 KHz. I also added yet another chain with a lowpass at 100 Hz and compressed it. Then, I added a chorus and a brick-walled compresser, and bounced an octave higher of what I was going to be using, because playing the sample an octave lower give it a nice characteristic.
After putting it in Ableton's sampler, I added some saturation through the shaper in the filter/global section, and added a morph filter and an envelope that slowly sweeps through it. I also added an envelope that fucks around with the filter morph. I brick-wall compressed it again because the filter kept making the volume dip. I was feeling lazy, so I copied and pasted the audio rack I made before resampling, and it worked out pretty well. All I needed was a noise gate to get rid of some feedback.

3xOSC mate! About two FL mixer channels worth of effects (Minimal Vocodex, camel crusher, stereo, EQ, parametric eq notch filter, flanger, ohmicide on the high end, limiting, more eq), resampled and layered with foley, then on top of it all, smashed really hard with a limiter and then a low pass after it to give me the rhythm!

Did a bit of experimenting with this one, not sure why but it sounds a bit boring - looking for ways to make the sound move a bit more

Using Reason 5 at the moment

Nice sounds man. My only critique is that it's lacking that higher end crunch.
Here's one that I made in the context of a song I'm working on. I'd be happy to put a little tutorial together on here if there's any interest. It's a pretty simple bass.

Cheers!

Made this for a tune the other day. Basically I make a chunk of notes using midi and then bounce it to where its at in this clip and then chop the best little parts of it into a song and throw Low Pass or SideChain on it, sometimes nothing at all.
