Hi everybody
I'm listening to Phun Park - Slasher (Original Mix). At 04:29 starts a sound in the background which reaches higher and higher until 04:51. It's like a massive sweep/uplifter, I hope you know which sound I mean.
What's the correct name of that sound? And how can I make it? I know the Vengeance Samples have a lot of sweeps/uplifters but I can't find one that sounds as massive as the one used by Phun Park. Or is it just an effect? Or a specific preset in a synth?
Any help would be great!
Thanks and regards

You make it with any synth, delay eq and verb. Automate the heck out of it. Sometimes automate the eq gradualy up to remove lower freqs.
Takes quite a lot of practice but if you kep at it you will make it. I prefer maing my own so timing wise they fit a track well.
There are two 'risers'. One is just high sustained lead / pad sound and the other with white noise. |

Thanks a lot for your reply!
I've experimented with a few pads and some white noise and automated the eq from down to up, added delay and reverb - but to be honest it sounds terrible and not even close to the sound I want to have...
So here's the noob question: could you please be more specific how you do that (e.g. which pads/leads you use, which filters)?
Thanks! |

Well here's how I might do it, but tere are many ways (you can here my main rise in my track in producers promotion 'dirtbox divas more serious tech tune' in case you want to see if my rises are up to it!).
A synth rise I choose a sound with say 3 oscillators and the ability to make each oscillator pitch up, preferably each one using different types of pitch up modulation. Dirt sounds with a syncy element which you can also automate can be cool. You might also want to automate distorion, bit crushing etc. |

for the riser fx i think you're talking about.
you'll get something similair, if you take a Saw pad with higher Filter attack, add Unison with small detune and a chorus. Layer this with a Sub sine wave to give it lower gurth and add another lane for it. On the Saw pad lane, do a Pitch Automation on the pitch wheel or whichever way you want to do it, with the pitch rising up ofcourse until you get your desired pitch peak. just my 2 cents. |

In my track Seventeen I used some saws and I believe an FM synth (I'm not on my production computer at the moment otherwise I'd be more exact) detuned with unison and I used the hyperdraw pitch bend tool in Logic, then an easy way to make it sound like it's building in and getting progressively more massive is to add a tube distortion and a stereo spread, automate the tube distortion in and open the cutoff as the pitch rises (if you don't automate the distortion in as you open the cutoff it sounds like ass)
Then just add some simple reverb and delay and it sounds huge.
If you want to hear it there's a link to the track in my signature, I'll go check on my iMac in a bit though so I can see exactly what I did if you're interested.
EDIT: And also if you throw a white noise build behind it it sounds massive.
EDIT: Also, you might like the second build I use in it, it's a daft punk inspired sound that kinda sounds like it says YYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH YEAH YEAH.
If you want that you can bitcrush the synth then add an opening cutoff filter on it, it also helps to use some wavetable modulation and a more vocal sounding synth on one of your oscillators. |

| Pitch bend. Lots of synths allow you to set the pitch bend amount. Set it to a couple octaves or so and slowly rise up. |

Thanks a lot for your replies, guys! This will help me a lot to build my massive riser! I just found this Video which I found really interesting too.
One last question: What is "unison"? Since I'm not an english native speaker I don't know this term... I googled for it but it didn't help me... Is this the same as an octave? And what has it to do with detuning? :conf:
Thanks in advance!

EDIT: nevermind, forget my last question - I figured out what's the deal with "unison": several oscillators which play the same note, then I'm going to detune each oscillator by itself. |
