TUTORIAL: Screaming type synth ala Skrillex etc.

Post by Augment » Mon Nov 14, 2011 3:30 pm

I'm gonna do a tutorial on how to get a similar synth as heard in these tracks. The first one after the drop on them both. 0:40

This tutorial is for massive ;)
  • Alright, so start off by opening massive and click file -> New sound.
  • We're gonna be using two oscilators, and both are going to be saw waves. Pitch the first osc down to -24 (two octaves), and the second -12 (one octave).
  • Set the intensity of the first osc to about 2-3 o'clock, and the amp of the second osc to between 11-12 o'clock.
  • Make the first osc a formant wave, instead of a spectrum wave. Apply env 1 to the intensity, and make it go to the top.
  • The envelope should have the attack set to 10 o'clock.
  • Put a tele tube in the first FX section. Dry/wet set to 11 oclock, and drive to 1 o'clock. Put a dimension expander in the second FX slot, dry/wet and size set to about 9 o'clock.
  • Go to the Voicing tab and put unisono to 10. Turn on Pan Position and put it between Mono and Full.
That is it :) Please leave a reply if this has helped you in any way :W:

No problem, I've seen lots of questions about this sound, so I figured I'd just make a tutorial :)

Wow I wasn't expecting that to be so close, it's exactly the same as this one too at 0:55

(Amazing track btw, love this guy)

Apparently it's quite the popular sound, glad to have it as an option now.

Or you could just take audio from YouTube videos and resample for hours and hours. It's more fun. In my opinion at least. I do that for most sounds. Only my basses and pads are vsts for the most part.

In that track? Yes, it has a very cool and bouncy, almost upbeat vibe. I'm not saying I'd love hearing track after track of the sound but it works nicely there, and in general it works well as a filler sound. 'Sides, bitches love high pitched beep-like sounds nowadays, listen to any generic club song :lol:

Because it is awesome, haha :P
But can't listen to too many consecutive tracks with it, gets boring after a while.
