Hi,

I have a question for all of you producers/synth freaks out there. I'm particulary interested in the following sound:

Sound

This sound is used in the frank biazzi remix of Tiesto's Obsession. I have been trying to recreate this sound using synths, but I haven't succeeded at all. Someone has got a clue what synth/settings to use?

cheers,

It sounds exactly like a 404...

What do you mean by a 404? Never heard of it...

Sounds like a few detuned, high pitch saws with a relatively high attack and short delay/sustain, as well as a noise osc. Both have long release and a lot of reverb.

This is pretty similar to a few Absynth presets if you have that.

that is a pretty short note but from what i can tell.. this is how you do it using fruity and a 3xosc

make all three oscilators the first pitch, the first 2 being saw and the last one being noise. Detune the second one a bit

Now use a fruity filter, set the cutoff freq to about middle res to about middle and low pass to about 1/5 and high pass to full with 0 band pass and x2 on

Next use a fruity flanger with 20.0 ms depth about 0.508 rate and you can tweak around the rest of the settings to make it sound more like the sample

Next I added a fruity reverb, set the decay to 9.9 and reverb to about 3.6%

I noticed the mid-high range still was lacking a little bit so i boosted the freq around 4khz and making the width of the band pretty thin

I hope that helps... could post a sample and a flp up but geocities sux arse and doesn't seem to want to let me upload

oh.. and btw, the notes are B5, E5, and A4 on the fruity piano roll... cheers

Wow, thanx for the great reply.
However I tried what you said, but the sound that came out didn't sound exactly like it. I guess I have to fiddle around some more with the settings, I think I should lower the pitch some more.

well, thanx a lot for the help!!!
