Any1 have a clue how i would synthesise something like this (the very atmospheric one straight from the start)

any help is much appreciated

ill tell you how to make that pad if you tell me how to make your bass

I'd hazard a guess as to FM synthesis?
Not a clue how you'd go about programming it though
And I'm assuming this is legit to post- There's a "Luthatron sample pack" lurking somewhere 'round here with a bunch of the most amazing pad samples in it if all else fails.

Some light vocoder.

just sounds like two sawtooths with detune, sidechained and highpassed to me, idk if we're talking about the same thing though.

sounds like a pretty straight forward pad that's sidechained to give it that rhythmic pumping effect

aint got a clue but incidently synkro is awesome, id like a Q+A with him

+1 For this

if you mean the sound rising and falling in time, it's probably a rising lfo modulating the amp.
or it's sidechained to a kick you don't hear (sweet... i'll try if this works now )

No i understand the modulation but the actual sound is what im trying to achieve

VOCODER.

so just a vocoder......... lol i think a synth vst is needed mate

Well, yeah. But the most defining characteristic is some light vocodin'. Just get a basic patch of 2 saws or something going with some LP'ing and then mess with a vocoder and play with the wetness until it suits you.

couple of saw wave osc's detuned and with slight vibrato--> HP filter with rising sawtooth LFO on cutoff---> static LP filter----> tape delay w/ long feedback----->lush verb = gold

Yup, sounds very similiar to the pad sound i used in 'Intima', which is also a vocoder/synth hybrid.

can any1 recomend me a nice vocoder ? prefreably freeware
