How can I recreate the super-detuned dreamy synth sound at the start of Loving You (Original Version) by Michael Jackson? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJS5PBgF8is

That's a typical FM E-Piano, should be available as a preset in any FM synth. I don't think there's a lot of detuning going on in the patch itself, it sounds more like a very slow but pretty severe vibrato, like a warped record.

I have been wanting to make some metroid-sounding synths lately. One that has me stumped right now is the one that playes at 7 seconds on this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exXOJhuiseI. That bass-like sound. I have always liked that one. Edit: pictures would help best, since I always have trouble otherwise. The Skeleton King fucked around with this message at 20:04 on Jun 7, 2014 |

I have been trying recently to recreate the synth patch for "A.M. 180" by Grandaddy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptPXxAds1Jc The synth part is the same throughout the song, you can hear it clearest in the intro. I can't manage to get a sound that is anything close to it.

so how are patches for stuff like turntable scratches usually done? Samples, I assume? Anyone know of a good set of scratch samples?

Popcorn posted:Thanks! I've actually never toyed with FM synth, only subtractive - any free VSTs you'd recommend for getting something close? This is pure DX7. The bass sound is a factory preset, nr 15. The EP sound in the intro is a combination of the factory preset - nr 11 - with something else, probably the harp preset (it's also a typical DX7 sound). See http://www.synthmania.com/dx7.htm for the actual sounds. It seems http://dssi.sourceforge.net/hexter.html is free, but it might take some work to get it going. A Yamaha TX7 however, can be had for peanuts. edit: listening to the entire track, it's really chock full of DX7. edit 2: no, the harp presets show up at 1:24, the second layer sound of the intro is something else.

Sorry I'm so late to reply, but - thanks so much for this post! do you have any idea how the actual detuning effect was created for the intro? is it just that whatever other instrument is playing over the DX7 electric piano is detuning a lot?

I'm not sure that detuning was intentional - you could try a tape plugin like ToneBoosters Reelbus or something and crank up the warble.

Is there anything (preferably quite cheap) that can recreate the TB303 to a reasonable standard? I can't find anything with a cursory google but I thought you fellas might have some clues. I will one day purchase one but not yet. Not yet.

Flipperwaldt posted:It really depends on definitions of "to a reasonable standard" and "quite cheap". My standard is 'actually sounds like a 303', and under $300 for the kit is quite cheap compared to most of the other passable 303 clones  The TB3 is fine as a synth on its own right, but it's crap at emulating a 303.

Eh.  I think you're being unnecessarily harsh on the thing. It does some of the sounds okay and kits aren't for everybody.I'm not seeing the harm in suggesting to check out some videos as I did. If it's as bad as you seem to believe, he'll go 'oh god no' on his own soon enough.

Hey guys! Anyone have a good idea of how to go about synthesizing the main synth chords in this track? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KcOZ2qHz5g&t=96s I just discovered this song and can't get enough of it, and the sounds are killer too.

The Dark Wind posted:Hey guys! Anyone have a good idea of how to go about synthesizing the main synth chords in this track? What gear/vsts do you have? I can't exactly name the patch, but it's a bog standard mid '90's techno string stab with a little reverb and maybe some chorus to give it that "airy" sound. Any rompler made after, like, 1990 should have something almost identical as a preset. It's got a little low-fi Sega Genesis crunch to it too, which suggests that it's frequency modulation, if you have FM8 start auditioning the presets. It's also got a sub osc, if you can find a preset that sounds like it then add in another oscillator, like, 2 octaves down, you'll have it.

This shouldn't be too hard. I want to replicate the cheap bleepy lead sound out of this track. It probably is a Casio CZ-101, which I don't own, but I do have a DX-100 which should get close, or a soft-synth solution is also fine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJ-uXuyKMLY E: The Dark Wind posted:I just discovered this song and can't get enough of it, and the sounds are killer too.

Sjoewe posted:This shouldn't be too hard. I want to replicate the cheap bleepy lead sound out of this track. Looking at about 1.55-2.05 in the song, first thing to note is that lead's probably composed of two patches, the bleep-bl-bleep-bl-bleep parts and the sustained notes. You're right, you should be able to do it with what you have, for the bleep part, start with a 2-op patch, the carrier with no attack time, sort of moderate quick decay and no sustain. Try to pick the waveform that sounds "brassy-est". For the modulator, the envelope setting should be pretty much the same. Fiddle around until you right sort of plucked sound. Alternately, try your synth's bass presets in some of the upper registers. For the chord patch, see if any of the pad presets sound similar.

Think about how the sound of a bee works: it's a certain number of wing beats per second. Find out how fast a bee beats its wings, then think about how single beat would sound, and repeat at the bee's wing beat frequency. I'm thinking it may work with a noise as the base sound, and a bandpass modulated at a bee's wing frequency, in a shape somewhere between sine and square.

Dunno if this is helpful at all, but the sound at the end of this Atoms for Peace song always reminds me of a swarm of bees. Apparently it was made with a Prophet or Dave Tetra synth (no idea what settings) put through a boss DD7 digital delay, which I imagine is what gives it its "swarming" sound. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayNljo-DQTs&t=214s

Ok, serious question though. I have been struggling to get a 90s piano sound that I want to do real bad. For lack of a better term, its like the 90s house crossover piano that can be viewed in literally any video featuring white and black people dancing in black leather against a white background while someone diddles the camera zoom back and forth. For a more modern example, it is similar to the piano featured here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0bdN4ZLAys&t=18s I've tried various piano settings on soft and hard synths I have, and can't manage to find anything with that ting. I'm sure it comes standard on motifs and such, but any help on how to re-create?
