Synth help :(

Post by Oliver Brown » Tue Apr 22, 2014 5:59 pm

Having one of those moments where the more I try, the further away I get from what I want to accomplish.

So ableton forum it is!

Trying to get this sound. Have something similar and it's just not as bright/polished

Any tips?

The synth comes in at 1:20 (ish)

That's not a bright or polished sound at all.

Almost an organ sound with noise but sort of buried noise.
Not a super hard patch to replicate, but the question becomes why do you want to replicate it perfectly?
Isn't it better to come close and make it your own?

Basically a synth that allows you to add noise in early or as part of the modulation would help. Don't know what synths you're using, but Alchemy, Zebra, or even Analog with a few FX would do this. You could also get the effect with a distortion at the end, but I would more want to add it into the sound so it's not messing with the attack rise too much.
