Could someone PLEASE help me?
How can I tell what is sine/square or saw wave? I know this may be a stupid question :rolleyes: |

Listen to a single osc in your synth and hear the differences
some typical sounds :
Sine : for basses, you get that -i feel the bass in my stomache -feeling by using low tones with this waveform
Saw : rough sounding, more for leads etc.. 90 % of trancesongs uses a double detuned saw waveform with unision and effects loaded on it
Square : a bit smoother than saw, ex : lethal industry lead sound is a square waveform with pulse width on it.
Triangle : something in between sine and saw |

TraNcerke, thanks a lot :)
Ummh... How will I do
"a double detuned saw waveform with unision and effects loaded on it"? I just don't know, so help help help again:rolleyes: |

| get a synth with two saw oscillators... set them both so they play the exact same thing (in the same octave). Then take the "fine" knob or whatever it's called depending on your synth and move one of the two SLIGHTLY so they are detuned by a little bit. Then (depending on your synth) you can put it in unison mode, which will further detune it. Then slap on some FX and you're good to go... |

| Exactly what I meant Michael :toocool: If you have a 3-osc synth you could add another osc and set it one octave lower and try some other things on it like fm, a little ring modulation to get your own sound, that's how I do it :) . |

Unison doesn't necessarily detune everything. Unison means that every time you bash on a key, all the oscillators sound all at once. This of course soudns fattest if you have them all detuned, but they can also play a "clean" note. |

I thought all the oscillators sound all at one no matter what? Say you have a 2 osc synth. Both oscs will play when u hit a key no matter what. But if you put unison on and up the voices to two, it'll be like you really have 4 oscs playing at the same time (therefore louder). And you can usually set however much you want to detune it. |
