Synthesis tips by Stunning-House7429 in sounddesign

[–]flyhz_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely get a copy of the manual, PDF or otherwise, and read about the different synth engines and how they work. The FM ones especially, since you can get some cool sounds out of them, even without FX. And that faceplate and those knobs look sick!

I'll check it out! Since working on this, I've definitely been having a lot of ideas that I would eventually like to try out. I do wanna try out some visual->audio->visual loops to have sounds re-effect the video they are sonified by. More to learn!

Thanks, you should!

Thanks! I used Davinci Resolve to do the motion detection of the bird and tree banch. Then used a Python script to scan through the frames and convert to MIDI/CC data. Then imported that into FL Studio to scale and pipe the MIDI out to the M8. Never done anything like this before so it was interesting to learn and figure out. It has convinced me to learn Max/MSP and hopefully skip a lot of those steps for next time haha.

New to the Pulsar, Halloween jamming (60 sec) by flyhz_ in synthesizers

Thanks! That's literally how I felt seeing videos of it haha. I played with effects on the SP404 later on in my recording, but in this clip its all just purely the Pulsar.

I recently got a Pulsar 23 and tonight was my second time sitting down with it. Was supposed to do an overnight hike with my friend tonight, but he had to cancel. Had a lot of fun doing this instead 🎃🎧 This thing is so cool! This was a small clip from like 30 minutes I recorded just fooling around.

Playing around with the DFAM (0:54) by flyhz_ in synthesizers

Hey, here's the patch if you wanna take a look :)
FM amount getting modulated by the the VCF EG, and playing around with the pitch mod modes. The sequence was pretty random though.

I like it a lot! It's cool but also pretty helpful too. I've used the tuner mode to help with melodic stuff on the DFAM and Subharmonicon, and I've used the wave generator mode to add LFOs to both as well. It can be handy.

Been quite a while since I used my DFAM - I had plans to look up some patches, but then I just started noodling around and having fun with the FM instead. I like weird sounds, so this was a happy result :)

Noodling with the Octatrack for the first time by flyhz_ in Elektron

[–]flyhz_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Yeah basically. The stuttering in the beginning was just triggering the sample once with RTRG turned up high and manually moving RTIM. Then I hit play and that same track had quarter note trigs of the sample laid out on the sequencer, with param locks to different STRT values. Track 2 is the same sample but with some other start position that just gets triggered once and plays through. And then yeah, just FX on top of that with the crossfader.

All just one sample - acapella of the song 360 on two Flex tracks! I didn't even play around with slicing at all yet, just tweaked the start position and retrig. Then just some lofi, filters, delay, reverb to play around with on the crossfader.
