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.
