zircon Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 I was messing around today with the FL sampler, and you'd be surprised how you can use it! First, think about what a synthesizer is. Typically it's got at least one oscillator, a filter, envelopes, etc. The oscillator has one waveform, usually a very very short one. What's cool about the FL sampler is that you can use the "CRF" knob to select a very small portion of a sample. This means that after the first part of the sample plays, it will go through the looped part very fast. The higher you play on the keyboard, the faster it will be repeated. Eventually, it will be going so fast that a definite pitch will be created. http://www.zirconstudios.com/Funkysynth.mp3 Check this out. It's a TR707 kick, truncated and then loaded into the FL sampler with some basic effects. Definitely a usable sound, sort of a clavinet/organ hybrid kind of thing. You can do the same with lots of samples, and apply envelopes, filtering, and the like. So before you get out your wallet to pick up a new synth.. mess around a bit with what you have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicole Adams Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Heh, that's pretty cool. I believe Reason's NN-XT device can do something like this, too. I'll have to give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synth Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Very very cool, I was able to get a 303ish sound out of one of fl's bass drums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OverCoat Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 I used to do the same thing with the Granulizer [i just remembered!]. But that was in like 2001/2002 so the application of said technique wasn't very good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Interesting sound indeed. Now I have to play around with percussion sounds myself in Kontakt... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDRage Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 wow, that sound klicks ass!! It's got a funky-circus feeling to it. *opens FL, gets busy* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
