I've never been able to get that synth sound. I k ow there is someone here that can help me.

Symphonic and choral presets?

Get some cheap hardware synths and a half-destroyed guitar = 100% Burzum sound!

An organ sound with crap recording gear?

Most of the old black metal stuff (Emperor, old Dimmu) used older Korg keyboard presets. They aren't doing anything fancy. You might look through some Korg Wavestation vst stuff. Although you should be able to create something very similar in any synth. The Korg X5D has been spotted on stage at old Dimmu gigs.

Think i found it. Korg M1. Anyone use the legacy stuff?

I've got an Alesis Fusion that I've used for my black/folk metal solo project Swordbearer. Great sounds on it, perfect for atmospheric metal.

Thanks for that. I'll check it out.

You have a link to your music?

No problem! Good luck with it. Here's some of my Swordbearer tracks, bear in mind the production is quite raw!

what's even more important would be the scales that they use!

Just sounds like choral and harpsichord presets....

And? It's blackened folk metal lol. Didn't really call for anything beyond basic choirs and whatnot. Not to mention these recordings were from years ago, back when I still just went with cool-sounding presets rather than trying to customize them.

Never said there was anything wrong with that Answered OP's question and left it at that

In this type of music, the playing is more important than the sound itself.

Seeing Black Metal in dsf makes me happier than a midget running through a field of grass.

I understand that, I was just curious as to the general sounds that are used for bm. It always sounded kinda like a choir/string thing to me.

I dunno, my brain is weird and if I don't know EXACTLY what something is or how to make something I get all OCD until I figure it out.

Also explains why I spend more time learning about music making then actually making music.

Try a string section as well
