| alright so i've started messing around with this bad boy and having trouble getting certain types of sounds..namely a long good synth sound. i can make shorter samples but need some help with some longer sounds... anyone know any good combos of wav forms that will get nice airy sounds... |

| hey cheggy |
try working with just two oscillators at first to get close to what you want. Two oscillators is enough to make a good sound. If you want to beef it up, you can always put it in Unison mode (if it has it).
That trancy airy uplifting sound is from square waveforms. |

why are ppl always ting about 3xosc and fruity? 3xosc can make some very good sounds, i have some examples here:

and

Those were some good synths Mantis! I was about to post how you can trick out some SICK synths on the 3x osc, until you posted that. You totally did this post some justice, I myself didn't even know you can trick the 3x osc like that! I've been producin with Fruity for about a year now, and have been makin synths with the osc for about 4 months, and have acheived a 'Rank1' style synth only once, and it took lotsa work with the 'INS', and FX. It truely takes skillz to make great sounds with that puppy.
But, I love makin hard trance leads with the 3x osc, but it seems to take LOTSA CPU power since I use lotsa FX, like Choruses, Flangers, Reverbs, and Band Passing; Once you trick that baby out, you'll forget about how crappy you thought it was when you first heard those ugly blank dry preset synth sounds, from the 3x osc.
Sometimes you gotta use 2 oscillators, or 1, but I usually use all 3. The built in phasers are pretty good sometimes, if you wanna make a hard synthy pad, and some 'reso' tweaking on the INS can make some of those familiar 'Shokk' sounds, if you keep playin with the LFO. But, it takes time patience, and finally you'll have fun once you get it done. -Mental |

I'm not dissing fruity, because I use fruity, i'm dissing 3xosc because it blows. It has such horrible aliasing that its beyond words!
Safe to say that I don't use any fruity synths.
P.S. Your samples don't work! |

tranzmetal: i always use 2 or more 3xosc`s, 1 for the higher part of the synth, and 2 for the lower notes, which make a lot of the phatness
dc-: the samples should work man, try right clicking>save as! u`ll see that the 3xosc is pretty powerfull afterall;) |

mantisnl shows us how it's not the synth but the producer that makes the synth sound good
good job.. that's some nice synths there |

Not too bad actually, but it still won't make me change my mind regarding the synth :) There's better synths out there and that are free, and not to mention are a ton more fun to program and look better than 3xOsc, and not to forget have a slew of onboard effects.
P.S. I was more 'impressed' with the first clip, not too impressed with the Airwave one, lots of ringing in it. |

ok so i think this might be what i've been missing. you use two or more 3xosc channels for one synth? any other tips you can perhaps share with us...or anyone else for that matter. what about within just one of the channels...you have 3 osc's to tweak so whats a good way to approach that?? would i start with whatever shape i want it to sound the most like and then build upon it?? i guess whats getting me is that when you start to add in the other shapes or channels...it starts sounding like crap...and just a side note...what is the CRS tweak...how do i use it proper like???
ps. dc-...feel free to name some of these better synths you use that are freeware... |

try putting 2 3xoscs on the same fx channel, with some reeverb, delay, a flanger and perhaps an eq. then tweak the lows of 1 3xosc 2 get that phat "low" sound in ur synth. use the other 3xosc 2 play with the highs.
keep one thing in mind: u dont have 2 use saw waveforms only, but they have 2 be a big part of the synth, lets say there are in total 6 waveforms 2x3xosc.. so 4/6 or 5/6 has 2 be saw.
then just detune them a bit. |
