Background Acid Sound

Hey does anyone know what synth or preset is used for this sound .. Have been hearing it alot recently !

Dj Shah Feat. adrina - Back To You ( Aly & Fila Mix )

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=L7BKi_xZJno

It can be heard in the background from 0:30

The Doppler Effect - Beauty Hides In The deep ( John o Callaghan Mix)

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=GWvs2nlPABs

a similar sound can be heard from 1:43

Can anyone help me to re-create this sound or is it from a particular preset ..

Thanks in advance !

Start with a pulse wave. You may also layer it with another pulse an octave down for extra thickness. Filter it with lots of resonance. Use an 18 or 24dB/octave filter. Set the polyphony to mono, add portamento. Distort with an appropriate distortion effect. You really have to try different distortion effects here until you find the right one. Now create a nice pattern and automate the filter cutoff.

Fm on the subtractor sounds totally wicked. Gotta love scream distortion as well.

Honestly. You didn't even say thank you when i took the time out to make a separate midi file just for you, with everything you asked for.

Acid ?

Would look up subjects on how to make that TB 303 squeal.

But there must be tonnes of samples around , but it sounds like a TB sample Eq'ed lower and filtered.

Posted by Zak McKracken on Jan-13-2009 23:16:

the 303 doesnt have HF filter (as far as i know?) which is used in these samples. also it doesnt have noisey multioscs with alot of info in the treble.

Posted by adi_hanson on Jan-13-2009 23:31:

Well the TB did have a huge influence and alot of copycat hardware was made.But we are in modern day production , so it must be a nexus preset , 303lead in the single layer leads section to be precise.

How little faith you have in today's producers.

Well i heard that DuMonde had sold most of there hardware in favour of this little , but yet powerfull rompler.But then again , its not how big or expensive it is , but how you use it?
But i used nexus heavily until i discovered vanguard , vstation , sylenth and my roland.
And sometimes while listening to things on the TV , radio and basshunter i can pick up the presets.

i often use nexus to record when i have an idea (like the epic piano preset), then once i have the midi i bring in an ACTUAL synth

works well since nexus' presets sound good by themselves... just once they're in a mix they sound like cheap crap..
