Hey guys,

I really want to create this sound, but I have no clue how to make it or name it. I guess it's somewhat sweepy... Can anyone help me with this? The sounds I'm looking for can be found in the song "This aint a clubtrack" on this guys MySpace profile www.myspace.com/mikemago all song long but to be specific from 0:40 till 1:30.

Cheers!

Not sure which sound you're after, but some of them can be made in the bathroom.

Joe

that made me smile

Listen to the Busta Rhymes song on his myspace http://www.myspace.com/mikemago The sound starts at 0:15. You can't miss it.

I would but I have a 32k/sec download speed atm. I'll probably be able to do it in 6 days when I change ISP, if you can wait that long.

The second one is relative easy. Create a subtractor with init-patch. Turn the osc1 waveform to square and set octave to 1 or 2 (low frequency). Set filter envelope attack to 50%, filter cuttoff to 50% and filte reso to 25%. That's it.
The sound of the first song seems to have an additional chorus effect. This could be done by simply adding a chorus device behind the subtractor with default settings.

I'm not really skilled with SubTractor so I have some questions for you:
What's an init patch?
Where can I find the filter cutoff?
Is the filter reso the R in filter envelope?

Thanks for the help!

Init (initial) patch is the patch where everything is set to default settings. Just right click the device and choose init patch.

Here's a video explaining filter cutoff with the subtractor

Filter reso means Filter resolution, you'll find it at the top-right of the sub next to filtter freq (it's called filter res).

No, reso is the filters resonance.

@michieltjee:
R in envelopes is always the release time. Every envelope consist at least of the components A (attack time),D (decay time),S (sustain volume),R (release time). Maybe you should read a little bit about the basics of synthesizers.

Here's a cool way to explore, how different filters and filter settings work:
Create a subtractor and load the init patch (btw: If you turn off the "load default patches for new devices" option in the preferences, all device have the init patch after creation). Set the "mix" knob to 100% right. Turn on the noise generator on (it's located under the OSC2). Turn the "filter env amount" to 0%. Set the amp envelope sustain to 100%. Create a Matrix which sends a long note. Now create a bv512 vocoder and link the audio output of the subtractor with the modulation input of the vocoder. Set the vocoder to 32 bands (with the knob on to the left of the display.
Now, you should be able to watch the behaviour of the frequency spectrum in the upper display of the vocoder. For example when you turn the subtractors filter type to LP (low pass), the cutoff to 100% and reso to 0%, you should see all band at the same level. Now start experimenting with the filter params.

I think that's what I meant... sorry.
