Original Message 1/14 27-Oct-03 @ 12:24 AM - that gritty sound
Download this clip and listen to this nice GRITTY sound! I'm very curious about what kind of synthesis they have used.
I guess it easily can be made on any VA-synt (by anyone's grandmother :-) But i've just discovered my intrest in creating those.. crispy wizzy noises.
So how do they make this sound??

no idea what kind of synth...but...it definitely sounds like a high pass filter as well
doesnt sound all that gritty to me

I've made some patches on the virus with FM that sound kinda similar too..
but then again my nova tackles these kinds of sounds all the time with that loverly distortion

anyway.. i find that the talking effect is best achieved by using rate reduce (on the virus) along with band pass filter movements. i would guess small bit of shaper saturation + rate reduce + bp filter env.

Anyway, I would experiment with dual bandpass filters where you modulate both the cutoff freq of each filter as well as the seperation between the two filter cutoff points. This will make it "speak"
For the growl, I would mess about with square waves with pulse width modulation. Basically instead of a 50/50 square wave you want more like a 10/90 one, with the smaller percentage being the rising side of the wave. If this doesn't make sense to you let me know and I'll try to elaborate. But I often get a grittier wave this way than compared to saw waves.
Finally, this one sounds like it has some chorus or possibly unison on it. But generally these kinds of touches are thrown in for individual notes to accent.

well, can't listen to the sound right now, but my cheap-ass tip to grit (on a virus.. but probably whatever as well) is:
-filter with decent amount of res
-S&H lfo with the rate set VERY high
-cutoff modulated by the lfo by a very small amount
sigh...
