synthesize the default nepheton bd woth operator

[disco judas]

Hi,

Im crossfading between the two of them, but I cannot get it right.

what to do?

i'm unfamiliar with operator and nepheton, but if it's an 808 clone, here's a general how-to:

- use a sine wave oscillator that starts at zero phase (meaning the wave is synced to the trigger, otherwise you will get random clicks as the wave starts in different places each time). set the oscillator around 50 Hz.

- apply a quick decay envelope to the pitch, with not too much depth
- apply a longer decay envelope to the volume
- depending on the settings, add a little "click" sound to the beginning ("attack" control on the 808). one way to do this is to add an extremely short burst of noise. another way is to apply a second decay envelope to the pitch, with zero decay time and quite a bit of depth.

hope that helps,
greg

to introduce a click, i like to shift the phase of the OP , and layer it over the top of the sine sweep on OP [A]. Like you said above have the phase out will introduce a click, that can be triggered.

btw - is there any chance of creating more complex, perhaps smthg like vengeance samples BDs with operator?

oh yeah! great economical trick for making a kick harder. this can be done with a sample too, if you have a smooth low kick and you want to add a little more impact. just move the start point a tiny bit to start at the high point of the waveform.
