Re: [LAU] Synth perc sounds howto

Dec 5 2016, Yassin Philip has written: Hi Philip, yes you can do that subtractively. I'd suggest this: white noise as sound source and a lowpass filter (combined with a constant frequency highpass or try a bandpass. I believe specialised bandpass filters are common in analogue drum machines. Use an ADSR envelope on the source volume with a longish attack Use an LFO (sawtooth/ramp down) on the filter frequency Or use a short ADSR on both filter and volume and then apply a delay. There are two distances between the "bounces" in this video, that means you should have a way to change the LFO or delay length (perhaps mapped to MIDI note). If you synth has it you can also use a loopen envelope to achieve the "bouncing" effect. That is probably better, since you can better adjust the characteristic of the "bounce". I'm not familiar with purely GUI based synths, but I'm sure Yoshimi can achieve that. A well-featured virtual analogue can also do it. Amsynth or AMS spring to mind as well. I seem to recall that whysynth was well-regarded. Other options also include PureData and Csound and possibly Faust. The reverb in this recording sounds a bit like a spring reverb, which you can find anywhere, as LADSPA, LV2 or - I'm sure - native VST or maybe as a standalone tool. Jconvolver also includes a spring reverb impuse response. You could use that with other IR plugins. You can search your distros package repository for IR or impulse response or convolution. If you have a lot of things installed, you can also try your favourite DAW and browse through the list of available effects. ... -------- When you need someone, you just turn around and I will be there <3
