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

best website in the world, trust me. just sign up and search.

that was a quick reply cheers bro

Edit: seems good but I can't find any risers

just get white noise and automate the eq on it.

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.

make a reece.....play c5 note

automate pitch upwards ...... add delay / echo

simple!

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.

and use bandpass instead of hipass

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.
