Need help re-creating a patch

Post by maeghan » Wed Nov 18, 2009 4:45 pm

Ok, so I am rather new to sound design, and i have been pulling my hair out trying to re-create this patch with my Voyager.

Can anyone possibly help me program this sound. Here is snippet of it I uploaded to Soundcloud.

Thanks so much in advance. :-)

well, i guess i've learned to always dump my program via midi. I know its probably a simple sound to patch, but, i'm new at this. Was hoping for some help. :cry:

I just tried playing it, but it won't play for some reason.

Just off the top, it sounds like a suarewave LFO with some rectangular waveshapes and filtering.

I think I hear the mothership coming.

I know what it's like to lose a rad patch, so I took some time to try to figure out how you had made that sound, and I think I pretty much found it. I did this on the Voyager OS, so it's possible that the calibrations are slightly different than the model you may have, but it's likely that they're pretty much the same.

You have a square wave LFO running at a speed of just a touch below 3 on the dial. It seems to be modulating the filter at a depth just below 5, and it also seems to be modulating oscillator 2's frequency at a depth just below 5. That one is much more touchy, however, because it determines the pitch content of this patch, so you'll have to fine tune that depth by ear. Oscillator 2 seems to be synced to oscillator 1, so flip that switch before you do any tuning. All three oscillators seem to be audible, and they're all set at 16'. Based on what I could tell by ear, oscillator 1 is set at a perfect square wave, oscillator 2 is all the way down at triangle, and oscillator 3 is set to sawtooth. The waveforms may be the section you want to focus on to get the exact sound you want.

My attempt had the filter cutoff at 250 and the resonance all the way down. My filter was in highpass/lowpass mode, and the spacing was at +1. The filter envelope sustain was at 5, and the "amount to filter" was at +3. The keyboard control amount was all the way up.

You started off with a long drone at G and then brought it up to A, A#, and then back to G.

Your patch sounded a bit buzzier and brighter somehow, and I couldn't quite get mine to match it, but I tried. I hope that once you try this patch out you'll be able to fine tune it back to yours.

Good luck.

David Hrivnak ... i won't back in my studio until tomorrow but thank you so much.

:D :D :D :D :D :D

i tried cutting up the recording i have and … well, couldn't get it right.

I'll patch it in and post up on soundcloud, what i have had in mind. thank you so so much :D
