I'm in the middle of creating this hard trance tune and I want to have that hard synth sound that features in Dave Joy 'First Impression' in fruity loops.
Does anyone know how 2 make this sound or know of anywhere I can get it?

Cheers S2J

hi

if you upload an mp3 file of a snippet of that sound in this thread, ill have a go at making it for you. im guessing its like every other hard trance sound so it shouldnt be too hard to either make or find as a preset somewhere...

if you have the 3xosc plugin you can layer 3 saw waves and detune them all very lightly with the pitch knobs. then add effects (echo, reverb etc.). If you do it just right u get a nice phat synth.

alternatively - mainframe data network the C43E patch, connect my SQL to Windows and synth the patch treble frame.

hope that helps..

hehe

one word... VANGUARD

Now correct me if I'm incorrect, but was I told it's untrue that people in Springfield have no faith? Was I not misinformed?
(confused mumbling audience)
The answer I'm looking for is yes!

yeah, i think sawtooth oscillators are the main instrument in most hard trance, you should try going your own way though

Sample it. Don't try to re-create the patch, it will take you years to master that kind of skill.

If you post a sample someone may be able to give you pointers. but synth programming is as much an art, as it is a science... even with pointers you may not get it exactly..

most ppl are right in assuming its detuned saw waves (as with most hard trance)

i'd find one that comes close and bugger with it a bit.... i dont know if they have patch banks for fruity synths but you can check out whats available at Patch Arena .. there is usually one trance lead in every patch bank (or sometimes whole banks of them) cause they are often sought after

not always an option unless you can find a singl note held for long enough.. but definitely an option.. though personally id rather a synth that is similar with the full character and modulation than a looped sample of one note... but if the lead is really unique.. sample may have to do eh?

This is just 2 samples of fairly weak synths that i put together.

The thing that makes a lead synth the powerhouse sound it is is the effect of the fast LFO on the high end. mostly they are just 2-4 tones put together and eq'd around each other to bring out the best bits of each one.
