Hi guys, im really mad because of this...i can't find nothing on internet on how to make my own percussion patches... i found out something how to tune it, and that's all.
- Please, if you have some advice & tips for me & the Community also to help us with it, im bored to use samples...-.-

If you find someone else's tutorial on how to synthesize percussion, it wouldn't become your way to do it.

Instead open your favorite synth and start from init patch. For a hint - use noise as source and lots of tweaking of filter and amp envelopes. Eq, compress, room to taste.

hey bro ! i use samples but i use a drum machine like , geist , or cubase groove agent , , then some phaser , or chorus ,also camel audio ( camel space ) what is brilliant for making a unique sound to your percussion ! also eq around the 500 hz 1k ,and 2k so you can filter out the unwanted sounds !! ! also you can use a drum loop and eq that to this range it will change your sound of percussion !! or better just grap a fx vst and play around with it and see what you can explore your possibilities ! tip also very good fabfilter twin 2 !! a fabilous vst to greate or add some sound effects ! hope it helps a bit !? good luck !

experiment with sine waves, noise, fm ,envelop modulation.
a lot come from the amp envelop that need good snap ,just using attack decay is often enought .
or use something like microtonic at first it s more intuitive to get the basic, it also sound great with processing

Did you try Google? SoundOnSound Synth Secrets (http://www.soundonsound.com/search?url=%2Fsearch&Keyword=%22synth+secrets%22&Words=All&Summary=Yes) comes up as 3rd result in a google search for 'percussion synthesis', and includes:
Practical Bass Drum Synthesis
Synthesizing Drums: The Snare Drum
Practical Snare Drum Synthesis
Analysing Metallic Percussion
Synthesizing Realistic Cymbals
Practical Cymbal Synthesis
Synthesizing Cowbells & Claves
Synthesizing Percussion
Practical Percussion Synthesis

Perhaps less obvious, the Waldorf RackAttack manual (http://waldorf.electro-music.com/rackattack/manual/ra_english.pdf) has a chapter called 'Programming Drum Sounds' (p.84).

Hope this helps

LOL... be careful you might be doing Makus way to percussion... don't follow it or you might be unoriginal, please start tweaking a synth from scratch until you get your own way of synthing percussions.
BTW Don't even think on using white noise because that is what everybody else is doing for hihats.


I recommend SonicCharge's microtonic and the waldorf attack Vsts... both are designed to synthesize percussion.
