Hey everyone,
I thought it would be fun to share each other's favorite patch settings. I don't know if anyone is going to add to this post but I will post anyway. I am going to put it in this format:
1) Basic description of sound (this is going to up to people
2)model/type of synth (hardware/software)
3) Settings for the synth
4)Any FX that add to these settings to bring out their qualities
So here I go first:
1)Simulation of formant filter (sorta sounds like eeeyaaw)
2) Nord Rack 3
3)OSC1 and/or OSC2 set to hard sync with 0 shape for both. OSC2 being set to 0 in the pitch display . Make sure there is no FM or LFO's amounts. 0 amount of envelope 2 Set the mod env to repeat by pressiing shift and destination button at the same time. Make sure the modenv's attack and decay are as short as possible. Turn the mod env amount to a value around 3.62 .Last but not least set the filter 1 to be 24db bandpass, and set it to be arount 50 hz. Now of course, thats the basic patch, people can use LFO's and other modulations as they see fit, but this is the basic parameteres for this sound.
4)I found that a phaser/flanger sounds really good for processing this particular patch.
Alright, well thats it. Please add to this post. I think it will be helpful for everyone to post=D |

here is my analogue bass patch.,.,
-plug a microphone in your desk/amplifier.
-stand about 9~10 meters from your speakers with the mic in your hand.
-turn up the amp REAL LOUD.,
with a little reverb you'll be OWNING the dancefloor.,,
no, i mean litterary., you'll be the only one around in notime 
...
my next patch will involve a carburetor, a banana and a butterfly named george.,,.,
greets.,

I appreciate the seriousness of your reply.
Well, everyone knows you put the mic inside the headers , not the carburetor, and if you are going to be borrowing george, make sure to have him sing from inside the intakes while holding that banana. It makes for a clean ambience.
thanks again ZilDoggo
keep up the good work |

hehe.,
thanks for appreciating.,, it really helps.,
actually,
i work mostly with the nord modular.,
not much sense posting NM patch settings here.,
anyway,
sharing parameter settings seems kind of useless because they sound different on every synth.,
and most ppl have a different setup anyway.,
maybe you should try a NLeed forum or list for patches?
greets.,

I'd have to disagree - even if I don't have a Nord Rack 3 I can still look at what was being done conceptually and try something similar on one of my synths.
And if I happen to have a nord rack 3, even better. 
I hope to see more posts of patches - I would post my own but I'm still learning the basics of synthesis and have yet to come up with any cool sounds on my own. :/
Keep the thread going!

fuzzi,
IMHO it's much more important to experiment with any particular gear and find out what it's capable of.,
also, i garantee you that if you copy the parameters of one synth into another you get very different sounds.
oscilators, envelopes, filters and effects differ enormously between gear.
so, in fact, you will not learn too much because you cannot recreate the intended sounds (unless you have the same gear).
what you might learn in the end, from such a thing, is that every parameter makes a difference and can be used for synthesis.,
and every synth has it's own set of parameters that make it unique.
but this is something you find out anyway if you sit behind the synths long enough.,
"even if I don't have a Nord Rack 3 I can still look at what was being done conceptually and try something similar on one of my synths. "
to demonstrate the kinds of problems you will be running into when trying to 'translate' settings from one synth to another i ask you this:
(assuming you dont have a NL) what is shape 0 on oscilator 1&2 ??
if you dont have access to a nord rack or the manual you are propably going to have to guess.
so basically, to make something like parameter sharing even remotely possible one needs to establish rules about how to present this information.
then you immediately sink into the details of the parametres of different synths.,
for instance one synth encodes it's envelopes in miliseconds, another in percentages, yet another in a 0~127 range., so how do you translate this?
same goes for most other parameters,.
if i say that i set Parameter X to 35% then what does that mean on your synth?
you're gonna need some serious knowledge of your own gear to understand how to translate this info so that kindof goes against the point that it's a good way of learning synthesis., you will first need to know synthesis before you know what parametres are common to certain synths.,
so get back behind your synth and start playing with it!
ooh, and please don't push yourself too much in the beginning to get usefull results.,
it's more important to explore what parametres do and how they affect the overall sound.,
and, ooh yeah, RTFM is gonna be your buddy if you want to tell heads from tails in synthesis
not only RTFM but also RTFFAQ and similar stuff.,
documentation is important if you want to understand stuff.,
greets and good luck.,

Hey ZilDoggo,
I have no problem writing patches on my synth. The only reason I started this thread was I was thinking it might be useful for other people who may become stuck for new direcitons for exploring their synth. I agree with you it is important to tweak, but there are so many different combinations of tweaks you can make, sometimes it is refreshing for someone to show you a new combo, regardless of synth. Even if A user does not have a shape knob, they may be able to pull some amount of information that could be applicable. I am not trying to get exact patch perameters, I put those in there just to give a general idea of the types of settings, not a set in stone, lazy man's good patch. BTW, I know my synths inside and out, so please dont condecend to me about me knowledge level. I would appreciate if you are going to reply to my post if you could do so in a constructive manner (which you did in this third post, for which I thank you, even if I don't like how you put it) I was only trying to help, so rather than break down my post, add some of those nord modular settings, or just simply don't reply. By the way, thanks=D |

Oh, and one last thing. Let other people decide what they can learn from the post. If even one person can benifit from this post, then it was worth it.

"so please dont condecend to me about me knowledge level."
i never said anything about your knowledge., chill out
i wrote to fuzzykitten about what i thought about the idea of posting patches and what kinds of problems there would be.,
he indicated that he's still learning the basics., that's why i gave him some tips..,

Alright, well then miscommunication. I thought that was directed at me. So, sorry for the undue hostility. I just was suprised I was getting any level of resistance when trying to help. Well, thanks for your patience zildoggo, and again I'm sorry about that line in there. Now that we are on the same page, lets post some patches! =D |

I like the idea
so here we go:
Some down pitch growling:
Use any synth with a sawtooth
write/play some notes very deep
use a good LP with a lot of resonance
cut the ultra lows with a eq
with some playing and automation/lfos you got some nice psy effects
but i think most people know that kind of patching
but someone said  so nice
If even one person can benifit from this post, then it was worth it.

Right on, thanks for the reply. That patch sounds good. If we get a few more I will post another one of my fav's. People are reading this tread, so I guess some people are interested even if they are not replying. Help keep this thread alive=D |
