Messing around with Vanguard [sample]

I bought it last year and didn't like it. Anyway, I kinda played with it last week to post some .fxps for a couple of guys here. I just started messing with it now and programming some sounds I needed from scratch. IMHO, they came out pretty good...I'm starting to like this VSTi.

Clicky here!

Tell me about it...hosting it from my own PC with a crappy DSL service running through +50 year old phone lines.

I'm not good with anthem trance but heres something I've made in 20mins - Sample.

Hey, that sounds pretty cool. Why is it titled Rebirth? Did you use Rebirth for the rhythm?

Posted by Rob on Apr-10-2005 06:30:

Sounds pretty good Rico, just way too much bass (I can hear the kick distorting).

Posted by RiCo on Apr-10-2005 07:00:

Yah, I know, haha...I mixed it down in a hurry. Hey, check this patch I just made in Synth1...I used to hate that synth but now I kinda like it...

EDIT: That melody is from the demo MP3 of Vengeance Sound's DiscoDSP Discovery soundset. I loved the melody at 2:55 so I used it. Plus, that Discovery is supposed to be a Nord Lead 2 emulation...and Synth1 is a cheap Nord Lead 2 imitator...it was all perfect, LOL.

synth 1 is really a good synth if you go deeper into it.
can be really nice, imho one of the best vsti's out there.
could you share the .fxp of you synth1 example?

anyway here is my try on synth1:

No, lol. Its just titled so because I have Rebirth as my default template in FL.

what is synth1 I have heard of vanguard before

Posted by Crash on Apr-10-2005 13:34:

im getting frustrated with my vanguard since it pops and shit when the cutoff is low, and when i rise the cutoff its still there but you dont hear it since the volume is louder.

damn nice vst anyway

Synth1 is a free VSTi made by some Japanse fellow...he kinda wanted to emulate the Nord Lead 2. Contrary to what some very optimistic people say, it doesn't sound nowhere close. Yes, it has that metallic shine to it and great weird FM sounds can come out of it but the Nord Lead 2 is way up there. And I'm not saying it just to say it, I'm saying it because I have a Nord Lead 2 myself and did a comparo. Nowhere close...just a bit...but still, for being free, DAMN, what a good synthie it is...I don't complain...

its has its own timbre. not nordlead but different which I think is good.

Dude, your siggy kills me, hahaha. And to think that back in the day I used to like him in Knight Rider and Gaywatch. Of course, that was in Puerto Rico so it was in Spanish and the voice they used for him was always the same and was kick ass, haha.

Posted by RiCo on Apr-10-2005 21:06:

Here, I fixed the offending Vanguard samples, haha. Holy mother of distortion...I deserve to be shot...it was clipping like a madman...I have no clue why I didn't pay attention to it.

That synth 1 patch sounds awesome. I had no idea it could actually sound that good. I must invest some more time into it I think.

Posted by RiCo on Apr-11-2005 01:59:

Yeah, Synth1 sounds very good. Here's something I put together a few minutes ago. With the exception of the percussion, everything else is made with Synth1 including the whistly thing, haha.

EDIT: Saw leads are the easiest...just start with a initial sound, back up the amp attack to zero, crank the amp decay and delay all the way and the amp release to around 50-75, turn on the unison and choose the saw waveforms. Walla, saw lead, hehe...then tweak it some more to your liking. Crank the FM a little bit for some spice.

Posted by Axolotyl on Apr-11-2005 02:21:

Damn, you just put those leads together in a few mintes? I hate you Fuck, all those synths sound mint. The one at the start could be a bit fatter but the rest sound really nice.

Thanks for the tips too, I'll definately give them a go.

Posted by RiCo on Apr-11-2005 02:32:

Hehe thanks. Yeah, mang, I've been learning this stuff since yesterday night because I got the weekend off finally, yay. My ears are so tired you have no clue...they hurt, haha. Been wearing the Sony 7506s for a while and then I use the single Behringer Truth that works, haha. That's why the sound is all f***d, haha.

Here's a simple saw I just made following the recipe I wrote above...while eating my Domino's bacon and pepperoni pizza I just ordered.

Posted by Axolotyl on Apr-11-2005 02:53:

Ah, very nice. I really got to try out this synth more. It has a very bright attacking sound. The waldorf of softsynths maybe? Ha! I guess that what happens when your in the army... you take every opportunity you have to program synths even if it means your ears start to bleed.... lol

My production is on hiatus at the moment. I'm moving house and packing all my shit up so I'm not getting any chance to do any production Will definately have to crack out the synth 1 when I'm set up again though...
