Trying to recreate this tone using Massive(or ableton synths

Post by Spore Sounds » Fri May 06, 2016 5:38 pm

Hey what up guysI'm trying to recreate the lead synth tone on this pretty lights song. It's got a lot of modulation going on and it's kind escaping me. Sounds like there's some kind of phaser, delay and pitch bending going on. I really want to be able to perform the part live on my midi keyboard so I'd want to be able to assign any modulation to my knobs so I can tweek them while I'm playing.
The tone comes in and out throughout the song but really gets showcased starting at 4:43

Thanks guys!

First I'd look into learning about osc 'sync'. Analog can do Sync, although in that synth is it a little different from how it is done in most others.

Basically, you choose the fundamental with one oscillator, and the other (synced) oscillator should be any frequency above that one. Depending on how much higher the pitch is, you get different kinds of sounds. Also, know that you don't need the synced oscillator to be within any sensible relationship to the fundamental one.. in fact, it might even be encouraged to just have completely random frequencies on the synced oscillator.

In Analog, sync is just a simple percentage instead of a relationship. You switch between a Sync and a Sub amount for either oscillator. It can be modulated either by LFO or the pitch env.

Thanks for the reply! Im starting to look more into osc sync, sounds like that is what I'm looking for.
Is that something I could do in Massive do you know?
