Afrojack patch competition

Afrojack synth, supposedly affrojack used 3osc and fruityloops to make his bizzare bouncing bass/lead sound- so it should be fairly simple to emulate such I will post a patch shortly(my original afrojack patch wasn't very good so i'm going to redo it): So, lets see who can get the closest to the sound! :) good luck

Competition, codeword for "I can't make the patch and need to think of a way for someone else to make it for me"

nvm that patch isn't the right sound is it? i did horrible on it, i just realized that all it really is is just the INIT patch with wierd pitch bending that is automated...

now, how i would automate the pitch bending properly, using only the r3, i have no clue lol. but that drum video helped me a little bit. but its not the same thing with the afrojack bass-lead

You can't emulate that kind of pitch bending at least not without the feature that the Radias has - v.patch depths as a v.patch destination!

Then for example you could have EG controlled pitch bending but set at zero, and have the modwheel control the amount of EG pitch bending.


Also, it's not an 'init patch' (raw sawtooth wave with open filters). It's got a kind of softer but more complex tonal structure, possibly a square wave, distorted sawtooth, or try one of the DWGS waveforms...

Edit:
actually it has a very 'vocal formant' quality - that fits my 'softer but more complex' description quite well - so either formant or DWGS are the best bet.

actually, its not formant, afrojack doesnt use formants lol
it could be a dwgs waveform, but afrojack himself just uses a simple saw, with a compressor- but simulating it on a r3 or radias would require a certain amount of distortion/amplification.
I personally am thinking that a good way to simulate his pitch bending changes on each note is to use the modulation matrix thing.

Why, he told you what he does and doesn't use for synths?

Sorry, but there is no way that is a sawtooth.

I guess if you used a certain amount of clipping and filtering (post clipper), it might do it, but otherwise - that is no sawtooth.

tpantano, he said in some interview that he generally uses a saw and pitchbending that is automated to create his sound, that and compression, but for this sound he may have added a few things. but still theres a saw in there somewhere. Its a decievingly simple sound, the challenge is really the automation- and whatever filter/effects could simulate what he gets with 3osc lol- x-trade you might have a point with that clipping thing- i'm gonna have to try that

no luck, dwgs saw was closer however... do you think modifying the microkorg xl siren would work? or is that too diffeent btw i think he used a vocoder, because it sometimes changes its vocal sound
