|
|
Merry Xmas all
I’m trying to recreate the repeating synth sequence sound that plays in the intro of Lovesong and then continues throughout. It’s probably a Jupiter 4 patch but it has a twangy, popping sound I can’t fathom how to create.
I’ve searched Google for help but found nothing. Any help would be much appreciated please!
Thanks
Happy holidays

That's a hard one. Only things that I guess:
There's a modulation on the cutoff of a low-pass filter, maybe controllable by velocity
It seems like the cutoff is controlled by a EG with short decay.
I think there is a flanger effect that is set to a fixed frequency.
Can't really tell what the oscillator is. Maybe a saw, maybe some kind of wavetable or FM synthesis. |

This may sound lame, but I would suggest sampling the intro and creating a loop.

Thanks both
I had thought about a sample but it’s more about trying to understand how that seemingly simple but actually quite complicated sound actually works.
Love the Thomas Dolby avatar by the wa Tenohtwo! A fan?
Best wishes

Yes, huge Dolby fan! I was 11 in '82 when I first heard "Science", and his music influenced me into getting into synthesizers. I have actually programmed a cover of "I Live In A Suitcase" on my old Triton Extreme several years ago, and next on my list is "Valley Of The Minds Eye" on the Kronos. Cheers, Jeremy!

After hearing that sound again I suspect that they used a step sequencer that modulated and retriggered the cutoff decay. |

Thanks SKung I’ll try a step sequencer approach. The oscillator selection is still a mystery as well. Very nasal pulse wave I think but could be the flanger effect.
Tenohtwo I love Dolby as well and have seen him live many times and had a great time meeting and chatting to him when he did his book promo tour a couple of years ago. Amazing songs and what a synthesist. Need some more music from him!
Thanks
