A vid to show you how to make an upriser using white noise

awesome video man im an fl user but easily transferred this knowledge to my daw, one thing i was wondering though if you even know the answer which im not sure you would since youre a logic user. ive never used massive, is there a "macro" way to automate things in fl as well ? like say automate resonance and cutoff both simultaneously with one automation ? this is to OP or anyone who can answer that rather than making a new thread

thanks again mate

open a fruity formula controller on some insert or send and link both resonance and cutoff to that and then modulate only one of the parameters on the formula controller while leaving the other two all the way down

Seen as this has 128 views and only 2 replys, i'm gonna go ahead and say good job and keep it up

like say automate resonance and cutoff both simultaneously with one automation ?

Don't know why you'd want to set them both up to work from the same controller or automation track, seen as cutoff and resonance amount generally do the opposite to eachother as the the noise builds up e.g. put the noise through a low pass filter, when the cutoff is very low the resonance amount can be up to around 40 % to boost the add warmth to the noise so its more audible (the resonance adds more body by creating a 'resonant' peak around the cutoff point). But you'll find once the cutoff gets a lot higher the resonance may make whatever you're filtering sound either really harsh or give a really horrible squeal where it creates the resonant peak at the high frequencies, but more likely than not it will just not make much difference on white noise.

If you did it on a piano or a vocal it would create an ear splitting peak once the cutoff gets higher lol.

Soo generally the resonance is higher at low cutoff points, and lower at high cutoff points where no resonance is needed as the sound is not being filtered as much. As i said before high resonance on noise doesn't make too much difference to to sound, just make it sound thinner, but you might like to have a high resonance amount while the cutoff is low as it gives the noise a nice bass like sweep as it builds up.

But good job on the tut anyway

if using the method I gave, you can link the parameter to the formula controller using a "1-Input" formula so that the resonance automates inversely with the cutoff

Ah, pretty cool that. Wonder if you can do anything like that in Logic... Sounds like ya'll fruity users have it too easy haha
