The Cars "Magic" sfx

Post by Canoehead »

Hello All:

I am trying to recreate the falling pitch sound from this song's chorus using the AL1 engine. Essentially, I want to hit an "e" and have the sound dive bomb down an octave using a pitch envelope. I am struggling with having the sound drop an octave: the most I can get is a major third.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Gord

Combining different modulation sources you should be able reach several octaves pitch change.
Osc/Pitch->Pitch EG/Mod tab you select EG and intensity in semitones -48 .. +48. This means that value 99 at EG changes pitch 4 octaves.
So pitch change depends on envelope value and envelope application intensity value. Of course, other modulations may also apply - AMS1 and AMS2.
