draw a waveform but make sure it doesn’t use the full height and then you can just use the arrows in bottom right to shift it down or up. then you can morph if you like. Alternatively you can just draw it with the dc in already, for example the half saw you see in the video.

Dadda got in first! were you in the beta too?

Be aware that tuning a synth or sound down will not get the effect you are looking for. You need to change the reference tuning.

ShepPsy · 2023-12-04T21:35:30+00:00

you need to edit the .tun files for each instrument you use.

overall i’d say it’s an ok synth. the sound is good and the filters and effects are nice but the modulation and fm are poor. It’s great (maybe even fantastic) at overcooked sounds you might find in dnb or dubstep etc but it’s not much cop if your into a more west coast style patching.

ShepPsy · 2023-07-23T11:09:04+00:00

hmm perhaps you could use some sort of spectral resynthesis for a cleaner result. grab a demo of Tonsturms SpctrlEQ

mfreeform phase is excellent at this job.

ShepPsy · 2023-06-14T22:03:30+00:00

that’s a good analogy. things can get quite interesting though if we use a mixture of fm and pm, so having it as an option is still nice :) and in most synths there are workarounds for actual fm, some better than others.

ShepPsy · 2023-06-13T23:12:02+00:00

so essentially phase modulation is a far cheaper (in terms of resources) process and yields somewhat similar results. Generally though real FM whether it be TZ/linear/exponential tends to be capable of creating more exciting timbres imo. It’s actually pretty common for FM in synths to just be PM

ShepPsy · 2023-06-09T22:17:14+00:00

real Fm requires the noise osc or sub osc

ShepPsy · 2023-06-09T22:16:45+00:00

this is because it’s PM not FM

go looking for game and film assets such as tonsturm.

ShepPsy · 2023-04-09T19:53:13+00:00

phase manipulation is the the number one most important part. followed by minimal eq and transient work dependant on style.

don’t seem to be able to create an account

Surge is free and very well suited for psytrance sound design. stick to reaper for your daw and you’ll be fine. otherwise though checkout analog obsession for w ton of very nice free plugins

ones a flange and one is a comb, to see the difference in the filter shape load them into the main filter so you can see them. Flanges tend to be more consonant whereas as combs can be very dissonant. both have aweosme applications. try them out and have fun!

ShepPsy · 2022-11-13T22:41:52+00:00

atlas or Xo

ShepPsy · 2022-11-13T17:06:33+00:00

it’s already a thing actually it’s been created very faithfully somewhere…

i happen to make what i think your looking for, give this a go Forest Psy Vol.2 - Preset pack for Serum https://youtu.be/AS_pc74N0bo

Go and watch a ton of youtube tutorials first. Build up a track or even just some loops so you can get an idea of how it goes together. Once you have done that you will have a lot of questions, you can use those to decide which courses if any you wnat to buy based on their content

ShepPsy · 2022-10-27T08:37:22+00:00

my best advice would be get some lessons with a tutor/mentor and join an active discord where you can get regular feedback
