sergeantk Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I'm still fairly a beginner when it comes to drum synthesis and I notice very distinct drum sounds on the aforementioned artists (ochre and MoM), and I haven't the slightest clue how to create such sounds. I could always look for a drum pack but I feel thats cheating in a way and I would never learn anything. So in a way, this is a thread about non-typical drum synthesis.

Cryptowen Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Couldja post specific song/time examples of the noises ye be lookin to partake in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modey Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Just use ridiculously short decays on your volume envelopes perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops, probably should have great example of what i mean, check the sections starting at 2:00 Sounds throughout this song are also really examplary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Adjective Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 maybe something like: sine low pass filter with resonance turned up envelope on filter with soft attack and short decay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryancolecreate Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 It sounds a lot like a really short attack on a resonant lowpass filter. It also sounds really drippy and analog. I'd bet you'd have trouble recreating it digitally. It could alternatively just be a normal drum sound played through an auto-wah type pedal or plugin. The type that senses a transient and triggers off a wah type filter sweep thing. Actually nearly the whole song could have been played though such a thing hahaha.

mcbpete Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Oops, probably should have http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5N1OX319f9o My favourite Ochre track ! I know for buzz a good ol' Kicksyn would do this but you could try this VSTi, it's really good for making those kind of glitchy chip like percussive sounds - http://www.tweakbench.com/minerva and yeah as suggested a low pass filter with resonance turned up will help things out !

psn Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Or envelopes on a self oscillating filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergeantk Posted March 25, 2012 Author Share Posted March 25, 2012 Woah, thanks for the help guys, I was able to find the exact sound I was looking for. And that plugin is really cool, thank you for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCONES TO DIE FOR Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Ochre used to post around here - maybe not anymore? I dig his choons - way above your average IDM. If you read this Ochre, then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 maybe something like: sine low pass filter with resonance turned up envelope on filter with soft attack and short decay if you filter a pure sine the only effect you'll be able to obtain is a level change of the sine when the cutoff of your filter approches the frequency of the sine (a sine is just one frequency) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must have had filter saturation turned up or something else adding harmonics. thanks for the correction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 yeah I was wondering if you meant that actually. + thank you to tell me Synth1 still exists, I didn't use it in a while and I now remember it's a very nice free vst ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
