'The color wavetable' - sounds like a book title, damn.

Hey DSF, its been a while since my last post, and I've just been trying all kinds of new shit since then. I've been aiming for a 'modern' deep house sound lately and I'm really interested in making dissonant chords and soul chords. I've always been bad at writing soul chord progressions (like the ones you typically hear in rnb, old school hiphop, jazz) and I feel like the sound of the synth plays a fairly significant role in how well your chords sound. Like everyone, I use massive and watch a lot youtube videos and google what I need to know, but as far the color wavetable goes, I just don't get it. Do you just play a single note usually? What EXACTLY is playing per note? (I think its some minor chord). Since it sounds so dissonant as is, how the hell do you make progressions using it that are in key with everything else??

Hey, as I am not too good with theory I can't help you that much, but I might be able to help you how you can find it out by yourself. I played a C on my keyboard - with the help of spectrum analyzer you should be able to see were the peaks are. In this case: E, G, B, D, F#. Spectrum analyzer in ableton is able to do that (and I think voxengo span can do it aswell- it's free if your daw is not capable of doing that) ...http://www.scales-chords.com/findnotes_ ... =D&n5=F%23
so it's seems like it's an Eminor 9th chord. I can't tell you which scale this WT is playing but it seems like you can switch between 7th chords(WT 12 o'clock) and 9th chords(all the way to the right). (WT to the left seems like a faceroll position - you might be able to find out which key it is with the help of tha )
