OMG that is the most horrible track I have ever heard b4 in my life.

Are you kidding? You could make that track with a blindfold on thats likely how he made it too.

Posted by Ponemax on Nov-03-2011 02:45:

Haha yeah, but the synth sounds good.

Posted by DJ Robby Rox on Nov-03-2011 02:52:

imho

Ok yes in a world where good is relative... which maybe might just be Earth idk.

Maybe we are talking about different leads but its just very thin sounding and idk just misses something. Its too neurotic sounding just not the organic warm sounds I tend to be attracted too. I like rawwer/deeper/darker/wider/bigger/larger/massiver sounds personally imho atm fyi.

@Robbie

It's the synth that comes in at 1:17.

It's like a scratchy, springy sound, and the springiness is just awesome....I also like the way there is a filter applied to the attack and delay (that's what it sounds like to me)

A good sound to ease your ears from the massive leads...

Like this?

@Eddie

Yeah, I dig that, but it lacks have the trianglyness, which gives it more of a primal and energetic feeling to me...

Oh my fucking god, you have to be trolling now.

What next? It doesn't sound purple enough

That's a Roland TB303 in the one I showed and likely the inspiration for the sound in your video - which may or may not be a TB303.

No man, it's not synesthesia. I mean it sounds like triangle waves are part of the synth.

And it's springy!

You're missing the point.

Actually, you're missing several points.

The well-known "acid" sound is typically produced by playing a repeating note pattern on the TB-303, while altering the filter's cutoff frequency, resonance, and envelope modulation. The TB-303's accent control modifies a note's volume, filter resonance, and envelope modulation, allowing further variations in timbre. A distortion effect, either by using a guitar effects pedal or overdriving the input of an audio mixer, is commonly used to give the TB-303 a denser, noisier timbre�as the resulting sound is much richer in harmonics.

sweet...so it seems the rythm isn't just determined by the note pattern

I fixed the period before you posted that. Nice try, slueth.

i need that fucking acapella. club monster.

Posted by Richard Butler on Nov-03-2011 12:55:

Sounds like a wasp in a jar - this is the type of sound I least like, I just hate syncy sounds, always have. The food equivolent would be like when my neighbour who is one of those many people that think they are great cooks, makes us a traditional English Sunday roast with no fucking gravy - who the fuck could think 'heated veg and meat' is cooking?

Portamento + short notes an octave or two apart.

Start there.

Posted by Magnus on Nov-03-2011 22:24:

One or two steps away from a bacon octave. You really need to bake on a sine pack at around 350 degrees to be certain. It's nothing I haven't personally tried, or would step up underneath of my mixing desk to achieve, but I already got stuck once doing that.

Yes, I also like this acid sounding "lead". Can you call it lead? or is it bass..?

Anyway, how do you PLAY the notes to get that acid line?
I think the sounds is one part of this acid feeling, but the notes also make very big thing in this feeling? Can I find any midi from a good acid bass/lead line I can see how it is done/structured?

Have you heard Daft Punk's Homework. That's gotta be one of the phattest 303-lines ever.

But I really like the Chemical Beats funk + cowbell.
