Can anyone suggest any synths for making decent sounding risers? High pitched ones almost like white noise (kind of sound like a plane taking off) . I tried using the white noise in 3xosc but it wont rise for some reason. Or can anyone direct me to a sample pack with risers in it?
cheers

White noise is just a random signal without any predominant frequency so it cannot have a pitch. You have to use an automation on a high-pass filter to get that rising motion. Remember to start from a high cut-off point, because with those random low frequencies it would sound rather like a broken TV set and could mess up your mix.

for a simple fix... change the volume envelope on a sample that you feel would work as a "riser"'

you can use any synth or noise really. Risers are fun because you can just slam all sorts of shit on there to make a really interesting sound. e.g. increasing delay feedback, and automating a filter on that... Risers are a good oppurtunity to make a new and interesting sound that doesn't have to fit into any sort of mould.

All suggestions + lots of portamento!
Any synth really. If you want to do it with white noise, you can bounce a loop of white noise (or any sound) out and import it as a sample and sequence it to rise quite easily.

Ya totally, bandpass filter modulation while increasing the pitch. Toss in an LFO scribble at the end. Don't forget a little silence right before a drop, it can add a lot of contrast and expectation to your music.
