was just wondering what are the main principles of making a g funk sounding synth? cant seem to lock it down.

like whats the best combination of waves? or envelope settings.

if anyone has heard the track waves transmission by dj kiyo & masaya fantasita thats the perfect sound im looking for, cant find audio for it anywhere though.

bring the filter cut off to about half way and up the saturation a slight bit, mess around with the resonance too and maybe layer in a sine.

Yeah Moogs+portamento with some clever playing. Specifically Minimoog.

I posted this ages ago, it may be what you are looking for:

In FL studio add a 3xosc channel

turn down the volume of osc2 and osc3 to get a basic sine wave running from osc1.

In the misc tab select the mono and porta buttons and turn the portamento up a bit on the dial (about 40%). Use a LP filter as well.

draw a melody in the piano roll but overlap 1 hit at the end of each note to get the porta sliding up and down properly.

Ha, I was going to say this but didn't. Indeed, the Minimoog was the sound. Those G funk cats named themselves after and were sampling P-Funk so do yourself a favor and buy some Parliament and Funkadelic and listen to some motherfunkin' Bernie Worrell. Seriously!! And may the funk be with you...

Because you know...

Funk is it's own reward.
