[A6] tips and tricks

[Paulo Abreu]

Hi

Wonderful...someone speaking..CCO...ulrich schnauss!!!

Well,most of his pads are a lot like something one should have listened
somewhere in the 80's...I would not be surprised if he used something like a
Jupiter 6. Anyway, I think the trick is using Hipass filtering (especially
the 12dB filter) and/or BandPass with saw waves very slightly detuned, or
PWM with "engine optimizer to ?supersmooth? picthchanges" and...getting a
nice analog chorus unit and a "not so nice" reverb afterwards...just my
opinion.
He may be using something else, ofcourse, but you can "easily" get into that
territory...and I would not call them very airy (except if something changed
to this last CD that I have not yet been able to get)...caution that you can
get close to that kind of sounds on the old D50...believe it or not...

The key is defnitly HPF and very slight detuning...am I repeating my self?
must rest...

Hope that helps.

Paulo

now that people are talking about updating the tips and tricks section, let
me just say that i think that is a fantastic idea.

im still learning the synth and while ive gotten A LOT of help from the tips
and tricks, and im very thankful its there because id be hopelessly lost
without it, there are a few things i would still like to know.

for instance, these days, a lot of electronica, and even rock, have been
incorporating these pads that sound like beatiful air.  Listen to ulrich
schnauss, manitoba, or even the doves and hopefully u will hear what i'm
talking about, because i definitely cant put the sound into words.  the
"air" seems to come in and out and undulate with soft guitars in ulrich
schnauss.  i can't figure out if its a synth or a guitar that has gone
through a lot of effect

i've been trying to make pads airy with white noise, but all i get is a
distorted white noise synth sound.  obviously i suck at programming but
maybe someone can point me in the right direction
