How is this lead made?

[saikick]

Hi guys,

 

Already spent hours to reverse-engineer this lead. Before spending another n hours, please share the know-how that is already around, how to make this twisted lead.

I know it is a FM lead which is cut off modulated, but how do I get the precision.

Is it live tweaked from a basic pattern( too fast to do that)?

Is it automated(too much micro editing)?

Are the notes arrangend with some fast portamento?

 

How th f* is it made? And how is it controlled?

 

Thanks

I don't think it's an 'FM' lead. It sounds more like a Nord lead to me.

I don't really know actually...

Sounds to me like like its a long sustained lead on a simple progression midi pattern (for example a long C5 followed by a long E5, followed by a long D5. dont really know the keys but something like that) with a tremmolo or gate effect, something like vanguards tremmolo, and portamento. There certainly was a filter involved, and some pan effects at the end. Well thats what I think it is, altho it maybe more complex then that. Have fun tryin it out!

HI!

try painting the notes in the "piano roll" like in a gate affect, then with a phase effect OR LFO in the cut off for automating. I think its not very difficult, you have to practice and practice and practice again... Experiment with modulations to be original you dont need the same lead to make a good track.

Glad to help you

Nice job man, sounds great. I don't suppose you'd be willing to say how it was made? Like the pattern sequence that you used? Im curious how that was made as well.

[supergroover]

pretty nice sound indeed.. but of the rest i cant hear much..

[healium]

How is a lead different from a melody, or are they the same thing?

Yeah , I lowered the background to demo it better.

IMHO there is a difference as far as Goa/Psytrance concerns.

 

I see melody as a note sequence, which consists of a broad variaty of single short notes at a very slower speed in contrast to the groove or background beat, like you hear in old school goa tracks. The modern psytrance lacks this feature. Instead you have a fast note progression, which doesn't vary alot and is sometimes even faster than the groove/beat.

you can do similar things very easy with karma fx synth

well, very easy if you got used to that synth.

You call a modular synth easy

 

You can basically do it with any serious sounding synth.

Here it goes. These are the tools, settings and patterns. Once you got these, then you go tweak the cutoff on Albino in rhyme to taste( inmy setup I assigned CC 16 controller to one of my AN1X knobs
