Hey people,
I'd like to know how to create that kind of distorted synth as used in AvB - Burned with Desire (in the intro), and also in tracks like Robert Nickson - Spiral and Ocean Lab - Satellite...
Can it be done in Reason?? Because those sounds are so fat! |

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 :p) 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. |

| And how do i get this Acid sound in reason? |

sounds like
saw going tru lfo-d hi pass or bandpas with medium resonance and some distortion/overdrive
with some reverb and/or delay |

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 :nervous:
I think you're thinking wrong :clown: |

If I wouldnt know what vocoder is I wouldnt be talking bout
carriers and modulators :stongue:. If U :clown: 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. |
