I have no idea what you mean by "distorted synth" but Nickson uses Reason, so...

You did know Reason has distortion units, right?

Hey m8,

Yeah i knew that reason has distortion units, but i mean for example the sound in the beginning of AvB - Burned with Desire, lets say the version on the CD 'A state of trance 2004'.

I posted a sample here...
Distortion Instrument Sound

Now i'd like to know how to create that sound in the background (3 or 4 notes everytime)... How can i do this in Reason????

thats an acid sound with a bandpass filter i think and some resoance(however you spell it ) i think

also there is mode on the scream4 to make it sound like that the sound not the synth i mean. coz it doesn't really sound sharp like most acids do.

ya that kinda distortion i think you can get with the scream4, there is a mode for it..

as for the filter i say bandpass, and the resonance is a bit higher than usuall for bandpass as far as i can hear.

but also very important is the notes that this synth go through, acid gets shaped not only by the synth but by notes and filter automation.

you can get that distortion with about every distortion effect, hw or sw. Most hw synths have distortion efx built-in. And the sounds don't get shaped by the filter as it's not on high resonance, it's only when self-oscillating that it gets shaped by filter.

I think it's a vocoder. Hi-pitch modulator with a lo-pitch carrier
(or the other way around). Somehow I got the similar sound (dont
exactly remember) with Reason.

did you ever realise a vocoder cannot make sounds on its own
I think you're thinking wrong

If I wouldnt know what vocoder is I wouldnt be talking bout
carriers and modulators . If U didnt
understand I ment carrier synth playing lower note than the
modulator synth (or voice)

so what would you take as input then??
I won't deny it might be possible, you can do some crazy stuff with vocoders but it'll be a proces of trial and error, analog synthesis will be way easier imo.
