One o' dem Hardstyle synths! :p

Tell us how you got that killer synth effect, why you love your sequencer of choice or that you are sick of hearing the same lame preset every time you load up malstrom ¬_¬

One o' dem Hardstyle synths! :p

So I'm trying to recreate this....

Actually, just the screech(?) synth to be exact. You know, the kick ass one in the beginning. And that little number at 0:36, delicious. xD I just can't figure out what waveform to start with. :L Any ideas? Thanks. (:

[I send love to those who help. And those who don't. I love everyone. xD]

I have very little knowledge on these kinds of things... But to me it sounds like it's a high-pitch FM sound. To me it sounds hollow, so a square-wave?

@rune, you're wrong. It's a massive wavetable (I think it was Scream Bend+ 13 o'clock over a Dirty PWM and a Sonic on Bend-/+ 11 o'clock) layered over some heavily distorted reese. I've recreated this myself trying to recreate Scrap Attack by him, back in early 2011 when I was still new to production.

Also, pitch bend and modulate the Phace to go with the pitch bend (I think it says Phace). ALSO modulate the wavetable positions.

... Like I said, I have very little knowledge on these things, lol. It just sounded to me what would happen if you took an FM synth and just resampled it up a few octaves.

Dude... an FM synths isn't 1 synth. I've synthesized from robots, to monsters with FM synthesis and it's always got a different tone and character to it.

And pitching it would do the same thing to any other sample. It would add some granuler artifacts.

Dude I'm perfectly aware, but when people refer to FM in synthesis, in my experience they're usually talking about either the growls or that same technique being used. Just drop it? I made a stupid attempt at contributing, okay?

Thanks Kreepr. But could I go about doing it in Thor? I use Reason. xD

Distorted supersaw with a ton of pitch shifting and EQ shifting.

Actually all of you are wrong. The roar at 0:36 is an actual sample. He twisted a siren sound the make the dragons roar in Camel Audio Alchemy. He even did a one hour special on how he did this and his dragon born kick. Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1C4gWNJxcc&hd=1
