Guest $mooth Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 Will do. B0o has been showing me how to make some nice sounds on it too. I'll get him to join the board- I'm sure he could provide some useful info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

o1k Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Yeah z3ta+ is a wicked synth imo. Really well laid out gui, super versatile, Phat!. Presets are trancey bollox but who uses presets anyway? :E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest $mooth Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 I reckon more people use presets than not, but thats because they're not a sound sculpting evil genius like you Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clownstyle Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 Yea mike you should post a little tutorial about making presets in various programs...That would be VEEEERY useful for a lot of members of the site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o1k Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 well....i just mess about, im certainly no expert on such things.I like presets really, despite the fascism often a good starting point for a sound.I spose its what you do with them that counts.Its more fun to build em from scratch imo and you can tweak em easier cos you know how they are put together.Takes a while to get anywhere with it but tis worth it.What kinda sounds do you wanna make? A basic tip might help someone:Pick yer synth, create an initial/default patch by resetting all envelopes[a0,d0,s127,r45] and filters to fully open [LP 12db] so you basically have 1 osc running. save it. Now you can build yer patch.work out what kinda sound u want.Mix oscillators till u have a rough approximation of the texture u want to subtract from. Use detune, or modulate some of the oscillators or whatever.Then use the filters and envelopes to sculpt the sound.use modulation for movement over time etcadd effects when yer donesave as whatever.repeat.try different combinations of envelope/lfo speed/depth modulating filter/osc pulsewidth/osc tune etczeta has massive possibilities for this kinda stuff. bass basics:for subs/basses use a square/saw osc [x3 or 4] and lowpass filter [24db] and pull the filter down till it removes the higher harmonics, maybe boost the resonance to enhance the cutoff frequency a bit. for techy lead sounds: detune saw waves, modulate sync or pw, use widebandpass/hp filters or swept notches. Basically though if ya wanna learn about this theres shitloads of tutorials online.search for subtractive synthesis first as most vsti's are subtractive. Also check out fm/additive or modular synthesis as well. deffo helps to have some kind of midi controller too. Then you can PLAY music being able to audition sounds across the keyboard helps tons. Often you wont realize how dope a sound is low down for example. Hopefully it will have a mod wheel and pitch bend then u can set these to control some part of your creations. Anyway enough rantingHope this helps someone. o1k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sideshow Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 i'm looking into small controller keyboards at the moment, you got any advice o2k?or anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o1k Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 well it depends how much you wanna spend and what features you want.Lots of people seem to like the m-audio keyboard/controllers. [oxygen8 -£99]http://www.m-audio.com/index.php?do=produc...midicontrollersOr for more money you could get a keyboard and a seperate control surface.Check out everything you can really till you find something that u can afford/does what u want.another thread here about this:http://digitalvertigo.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=1241 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sideshow Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 the oxygen is the kind of thing i was looking ati really only need something to play notes with - like you said, it's so much easier finding sounds/notes with a keyboard than clicking on screeni'm after just anything cheap for now - if i find i really use it a lot i'd probably get something like the novation remote - that looks wickedthanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
