How to create this particular sound?

Hi,

I have a question for all of you producers/synth freaks out there. I'm particulary interested in the following sound:

Sound

This sound is used in the frank biazzi remix of Tiesto's Obsession. I have been trying to recreate this sound using synths, but I haven't succeeded at all. Someone has got a clue what synth/settings to use?

cheers,

Will give it a listen and offer insight when I get home from school =)

It sounds exactly like a 404...

What do you mean by a 404? Never heard of it...

He means Error 404 - File Not Found =P

Well, I guess your right...

Sounds like a few detuned, high pitch saws with a relatively high attack and short delay/sustain, as well as a noise osc. Both have long release and a lot of reverb.

This is pretty similar to a few Absynth presets if you have that.

that is a pretty short note but from what i can tell.. this is how you do it using fruity and a 3xosc

make all three oscilators the first pitch, the first 2 being saw and the last one being noise. Detune the second one a bit

Now use a fruity filter, set the cutoff freq to about middle res to about middle and low pass to about 1/5 and high pass to full with 0 band pass and x2 on

Next use a fruity flanger with 20.0 ms depth about 0.508 rate and you can tweak around the rest of the settings to make it sound more like the sample

Next I added a fruity reverb, set the decay to 9.9 and reverb to about 3.6%

I noticed the mid-high range still was lacking a little bit so i boosted the freq around 4khz and making the width of the band pretty thin

I hope that helps... could post a sample and a flp up but geocities sux arse and doesn't seem to want to let me upload

Wow, thanx for the great reply.
However I tried what you said, but the sound that came out didn't sound exactly like it. I guess I have to fiddle around some more with the settings, I think I should lower the pitch some more.

well, thanx a lot for the help!!!
