Here's the main-lead synth-sound I want: File 1
Here's the main-lead synth-sound I currently have: File 2
What settings do I need to get the thin, bright, no-modulation synth in File 1? How do I form this synth?
Thanks a lot (BTW I'm working with Native Instruments FM7 in Fruity) |

Firstly, lengthen the attack part of the envelope on your sound. That will take the initial clickiness from your sound making it a bit softer (and more like the example).
Secondly, run the sound through some reverb!!! Get a reverb plugin and flick through the presets.
Thirdly, (not sure if this will do what you want), but you might try running the source sound through a high pass filter, set to just take a little of the lower frequencies from your sound. |

Yes, that's exactly the problem: My synth has some low frequencies that I need to get rid of.
Does it mean that I should say LoCut=100%, HiCut=0%?
Or the other way around? |

| In FM7, select the Z operator (ensure your sound is going through it too ;)) and move the filter mode slider to HP (high pass). Now increase the cutoff setting until the low frequencies start to be removed. |

OK, I did that, but for some strange reason the following always happens:
I have 4 patterns with this sound in Fruity. The last 3 all sound better with the attack and cutoff like you said (although still not quite there, it should be thinner). But the first pattern of this synth-sound, nothing has changed from the original synth that I'm using! (Eurosynth in FM7)
what the hell..? :whip:
Seriously, if you have FM7, try using the Eurosynth preset. The first couple of sounds will always sound differently, from any others with all your changes! Why does this happen?
Here's what I mean:
SAMPLE of EuroSynth in FM7
Notice how the first few sounds differ from the normal ones?? |

no trick to it dude, this sounds exactly like the "trance lead" fm7 preset. Use and eq, bump up the midrange just a bit, 1 or 2 dB, and run it through a reverb till it sounds right. You got the notes wrong too, its C# - C# - C - C# .... ...F repeat
here, I whipped it up with the fm7 and buzz:

something like that anyway, eq might be a bit off |

Quddha!
My SAVIOUR! ;)
Could you please just send me the .FM7 preset that you came up with??
(post it somewhere or e-mail: [email protected])
I need the general sound, not just for this particular melody.
I would be eternally grateful!
THANKS! |
