| Originally posted by Trancevision nice demo indeed, but nothing heard you could not achieve with some softsynths ... Ok  ...here it comes: Dumonde - Never look back the lead synth which starts at the end of the break ( the typcial dumonde sound )... Trancevision |

A preset is a preset, whether it is for a softsynth or a hardsynth... |

Here's one: On Ayla's "Angel Falls", how can you get that gated angel sound they had in that one? (maybe formant synthesis ala Supernova II) If anyone has any ideas I'd like to know. I can get an angelic sound on a pad, but once I start playing it fast the effect kind of disappears.

Yeah, it had been a while since I had listened to it, I guess it is just a vocal sample.
I'll try to get this thread back on topic:
One sound design tip I can offer is it to use an LFO on the arpeggio pattern with a sample & glide waveform.
Set the clock to 2/1 ratio or 4/1.

Well, I can't speak about too many synths b/c I only have an Access Virus B. The Virus allows you to do this. My guess is a Supernova would as well. I've also heard that Logic Platinum has some interesting appregiators, but I don't think their patterns and swing times can be changed with LFO.

can anyone upload a demo mp3 about this arpeggiator sound ? would be great ...
Trancevision
Hmm, too bad i can't afford a virus then.. what about the arpeggiators of the more reasonably priced OB12 or JP8000 and others ? how are they compared to the virus arp ?
-Treo-
i think that those new novation synths (KS4 & KS5) could have some great arpeggiators too. there was some demo on future music cd... and ks4 is really cheap (around 1000$) for what it offers.

It is only useful if the lfo clock that is controlling the arp is set to a very slow speed, like a 2:1 ratio. I was basically just trying to revive this thread. I agree, the virus has a very nice arp, but you can't make your own patterns.
my micro q has a nice arp. Does everything, even acid-style slides + it's cheap ass for what it offers. 3 osc va synth with fm and wavetable synthesis. Mc 505 has some nice arp styles, for the owners, check the arp-edit pages, there are loads of styles hidden in those menu's.
this thread seems to have died....whats going on....nobody want new sounds?
I felt like making a contribution to this thread once i had some original "from scratch" synths done. They're all from my own trax, so no stealing melodies...unless you're remixing!
This clip is from a track in progress called "Sense of Inversion". (made in FL3.56)
It's 3(three) 3oscs layered, but with slightly different melodies, hitting as many harmonic notes as necessary. Sometime synths are better on the whole if they have certain ranges of notes achieved. The appregiator is another great tool for good synths.
I used 2 short enveloped synths and 1 longer string synth enveloped to almost a short synth. I ran the synths through a free filter to let u hear the range it'll do without maxing out the low peaks and then maxing the highs.
There's also a small simple purebass6 preset for the 3osc as a basskik follow-up. it's altered much like any normal trancey synth, plus a parametric eq set to kill the high freqs.
When u make synths try to be picky and eliminate the highs or lows that aren't necesary in the sound you're aiming for. The 7 band eq is best for altering the sound. the parametric eq is best for optimizing it... synth or precussion.
All synths i'm sure you all know use a standard set of FX...
reverb, flange, eq(1 or 2 or any), delay, and optional filter.
compression is best used to master the entire track to a standard non-max-out track... in other words...it sounds good on any system after rendering.
check the production forum for mastering threads....there's a few and I've posted lotsa those tips.
As for the fat synths... keep em coming. and yes i agree with the idea about the best DJs/producers using hardware presets tweaked, but tweaked alot. 
Fyrious - Sense of Inversion (CLIP).mp3
@sgtfoo: very nice clip indeed, but it is a little bit distorted...

id like to send you all some stuff.i dont use much of yours cuz i dont use Reason but...i'd still send some. but when i do it freezes.
I'm currently working on this synth:
http://www.powerdance.nl/~qticion/solstice%20remake.mp3
I used the melody from System F - Solstice to test it 
[EDIT]
Here's the same synth used with the melody from Ullrich Fassbinder - 20000 Miles:
http://www.powerdance.nl/~qticion/p...iles-remake.mp3
sounds nice!
would u mind sending a midi file of solstice? that`d be pretty nice
[email protected]
thnx in advance
Sure, here it is:
http://www.powerdance.nl/~qticion/p...lstice-midi.mid
Enjoy!
cheers again m8
