i noticed that a lot of nice transition instruments helps a song move a long better. i was wondering if anyone knew how to make that effect where it sounds like sparkles or something...and i think it's high pass with the cut frequency going down...it makes a kind of zzzzzzzzzooom sound. I can get a single long note but how do you get that sparkly effect...it's kind of like avb vs ferry corsten - from the heart at about 2:19, 2:20...anyways if you guys ahve any ideas of transitions...posting them please!

I think you're talking about a filter sweep. For what you're describing, a sample would be best, but it reads as if it's a synth with a constant LFO tied to the filter frequency/amplitude to make it vibrate like an insect near your ear, plus the filter frequency cutoff sweeping down.

I do mine in albino.

Select the init/nothing patch. Set all four oscillators to white noise. Make at least one an octave below, and one at least a fifth above your played note. You'll also want to add a decently long reverb, perhaps even a relly mushy delay. Then play it over how many bars you want, sweeping a LP cutoff filter from zero to as high as you want.

What I like to do is (say, for an 8 bar whooshy noise) have the filter peak at the end of the 8th bar, then drop very quickly back to zero. gives almost a dopplerish effect.

Could you perhaps make a short mp3-clip of your Albino sound? I didn't really understand what sound it is all about, but hearing it would most certainly make me figure it out. Just a suggestion...

Guess this could be applied to any synth...i'm gonna try it in my PSYN synth...sounds like a great effect Skytribe!

Sure I can make a flp too... but I need somewhere to upload them.

I don't see why you'd need to use more than one oscillator, or have them playing at different octaves. White noise is white noise - it has no modifiable pitch. How can you modify the pitch of something that has a random frequency?

Anyways, here's some White Noise FX I made in a few minutes. I used Cubase for the sequencing and automation, but it can be done just as well in any other sequencer/tracker. Synth used was a single SuperwaveP8 with one onscillator set to white noise...I used the P8 because it's free and anyone can try it out. Move the resonance up and play with the filter frequency cutoff and LFO to get the same results.

You're absolutely right. That was a particularly bad brainfart on my end. I may have gotten confused with another sort of whooshing sweep I'd been working on, or may have just been leftovers from being stoned off my ass last night. Either way, oops.

Making sound FXs is one of the funniest things finalising a track. You can experiment with sounds, use settings and patches that you'd have never used for melody or chords. While programming bass and lead patches from zero can be sometimes tedious, with sound FX you get really impressive results for much less effort.
