Chiwalker Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 I know that I have had a lot of these questions in the past, but I thought I was getting good at recreating synths until this god of a sound came through my headphones - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rk4R_aBWs3g&feature=related 2:29 I know synth1 isn't capable of this no matter how many times I layer it...but I am considering buying Vanguard which I have gotten pretty close to this with the demo. Anyone with better ears and experience think they can pick apart and ID this sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Lots of layered saws with very fast LFO modulating pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoozer Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I know synth1 isn't capable of this no matter how many times I layer it... Instead of just layering, consider including panning and EQ. but I am considering buying Vanguard which I have gotten pretty close to this with the demo. Try Sylenth1. Anyone with better ears and experience think they can pick apart and ID this sound? It's the typical JP8000/Virus supersaw, nothing special.

Meteo Xavier Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 A little layering wouldn't hurt. It also sounds slightly detuned. You'll probably need a Gate effect to fully realize that sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would you go about (specifically) making this with panning and EQ, I really dont know And is Sylenth1 something you would suggest?

Yoozer Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 No, because it's rather expensive for its complexity (though it sounds pretty good). Rob Papen's Predator would probably be a better choice (and more versatile). Sylenth1 has as main advantage that each oscillator can go into unison mode itself, and it's got a pretty good bandwidth and nicer filters than Synth1. As for panning: you take like 4 channels of Synth1 that each have the same patch (you probably want to switch off effects) - each detuned a bit (consider -5 -15 and +5 +15). You pan the -5 and +15 hard left and the +5 and - 15 hard right. Then you put an EQ on the -5 and +5 and take away a bit of low and boost a bit of mid-high. There's a zillion combinations thinkable. By spreading it like that you could get more depth in your sound than mere unison spread on a pair of oscillators would get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I BLAME YOU on the hours alone I am about to spend in my room trying out all of these zillion combinations...I thought I was addicted already O_O But seriously, thank you so much for you help - that is exactly the kind of technique I needed!
