Access Virus B Effects tutorial - PART 1:
'The Cosmic Burp' -
(aka the psy squelch and that psytrance elastic sound type thing...)
Open up patch C127 for a blank template. We are starting from scratch on this one (as I think everyone should for reasons of artistic integrity. )
1) Set OSC BAL to 127 so its only playing oscillator 2.
2) Set OSC 2 to saw wave and press EDIT. Scroll to FltEnv->Ptch and set it to +54. You now have a saw wave modulated by a pitch envelope. Positive values bend the pitch down. Negative values bend the pitch up. The higher the value the more extreme the pitch dive. I wanted it fairly extreme but not all the way or it starts to sound like a laser.
3) Press ENV MODE on LFO 1 so that the light is on. LFO 1 is now set to play through an envelope. Change the SHAPE to Sine and press the AMOUNT button until you get to OSC 2. Set OSC 2 pitch modulation to -64. Now press AMOUNT twice more so that you have RESO 1+2 highlighted as well as OSC 2. Set Reso 1+2 to -3. Adjust the LFO speed to taste. I set it to 31.
Note: Picture a sine wave. Positive values for OSC 2 LFO modulation along a sine wave result in the peak first, then the valley. i.e. the pitch goes up from zero first then back down to zero. Then dives further down before rising back up to zero.
Negative values for OSC 2 result in valley first, then peak. i.e. the pitch goes down from zero first then rises back up to zero, keeps going up then goes back to zero.
This sound is bending all over the place. which is what we want.
4) Stick it through a Band Pass filter set to SERIES 4 - the 24 dB/Octave, 4-pole filter. Adjust to taste. I liked the sound of it around 86. Set RESONANCE 1 to 1.
5) Go to LFO 2 and set its SHAPE to Triangle. press AMOUNT until you have FILTER 1 and FILTER 2 selected. Adjust to taste. I liked the sound of it with FILTER 1 on -54 and FILTER 2 on -49. Adjust LFO 2 speed to taste. I set it to 48. Not too fast.
Now things get interesting. We have the pitch and filter resonance modulated via an envelope and filter cutoff modulated by a free oscillating Triangle wave. Now, I am going to stick the entire result through the Filter envelope.
6) I set ENV AMOUNT to 47 and fiddled with the FILTER ATTACK envelope. I liked the sound of it on 127.
7) At this point it was sounding really organic and squelchy and warm. So I removed a bit more of the top end by setting KEY FOLLOW to -17. This made it seem less bitty and slightly warmer still.
8) For even more warmth, I opened the EFFECTS sub menu and set ANALOG BOOST to 80. I set the Analog Boost tune to 32 since lower values tend to make the sound less bright. I want it deeeeep.
9) I used the Virus B reverb to give it a little extra sense of space so it sounds like a cosmic burp at the centre of the fucking universe. Hell yes. Reverb settings are: EffectSend = 43, Mode = Reverb, Type = Hall, Decay Time = 61, Damping = 21 (to remove some of the high end on the reverb tail), Colour -26 (ditto).
Finally, I set polyphony to MONO3.
Voila. You now have a lovely organic, bendy squelching sound. I then stuck it through a free tube amp simulator called Stereo Greastube and the sound is ready to rock and roll. If you followed through the tutorial it should sound like this:

_Can somebody emulate that with software and post the tutorial?

you can easily do that using e.g. albino 2 (i just tried it myself). just follow the steps from your tutorial, they apply to other synths as well and you get approx. the same sound. good luck! |

you can do this in any subtractive synth which has envelopes, lfos and a somewhat good modulation matrix aka routing possibilities (yes, and oscillators  ).
ecsmix: just do the same thing as described in the virus tutorial. use envelopes, lfos as described. it's about the same in all subtr. synths.
or, put in another way: where EXACTLY is your problem when trying to make this sound? did you try it? |

Ecsmix,
I know the sound you look for. In that psysex s track there s a good job done. With this Dragon II vsti you can do it.
Make sure you have it downloaded and installed. tweak a litlle and let me know if you achieved or not. If not I ll help you.
