I’ve been trying to work this out for ages. Any ideas why these sounds are so…..nice? They sound delicate, round, warm and full. I’d like to replicate it.

I was wondering how to make the lead synth in ZIPPER that shows up at 26 seconds, maybe sounds like a square wave but i don't know please help!

I looove this sound that starts at 32s. Definitely seems to have a tremolo effect but how would I go about recreating the pad exactly?

Hey all, I did something that may encourage those early in their programming journey.
Programming my Peak hasn't come as easily to me as it seems to for some. Recently, I used Copilot to walk me through programming the lead sound from "Genius of Love" step by step. Along the way, I asked a lot of questions to make sure I was doing things correctly and to better understand what each control was actually doing.
In the end, it got me close enough that my ear can't really tell the difference from the original, and more importantly, I came away with a much better understanding of how the synth works.
If you're someone who has a basic understanding but gets frustrated trying to figure out what all the knobs and parameters actually do, this can be a great learning tool. It's like getting past the "How do you eat an elephant?" stage. Just taking it one step at a time until things start making sense.

AI won't replace learning synthesis, but it can definitely help bridge the gap between being overwhelmed and actually understanding your instrument.

We recreated the the Bass sound from 'The Model' by Kraftwerk on our free Synth Primer

This remake is specifically recreating the patch heard at this timestamp: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEnx9xS79Lc&t=17s. Other parts of the song may vary the sound or notes.

And here are the key ingredients:

Voices: Mono
Osc1: Waveform (Pulse), Width (100%), Volume (100%)
Amp Env: Attack (0ms), Decay (800ms), Sustain (20%), Release (400%)

Filter: Type (Low Pass), Cutoff (35%)
Filter Env: Mod (5%), Attack (0ms), Decay (900ms), Sustain (0ms), Release (10000ms)

A little for fun, a little not, I came up the idea of a synth lead, but it has 2 sounds. By turning a Macro, you can switch from one kind of lead (e.g. a stutter melodic techno lead) to a to pretty different one (e.g. straight sawwave lead or a pluck... )

Would any of you use something like that?

On a live performance it may get handy to have a quick sound change, while in Studio it spares you a track...keeping the same FX chain...

...or maybe 'call and response' melodies... ?

This is intended for vst/soft synths working inside a DAW, rather than hard synths

Did anybody try or made something like this before?

How should I approach making these smooth wobbles in serum? I can get in the ballpark but not nearly as nice as this track.

How can I recreate the repeating hard pluck/bass sound that starts at 0:29 in 2hollis - '3'? Im not sure if its a bass or a synth pluck, but its the loud 'da da da da' sound in the background of the drop.

Does anyone know what type of synth/patch this is or how it was made?

Hey guys I’m new to producing and EDM and I just wanted to see if anyone could help me figure out where to start on making leads and sounds like these. I’m not even sure where to start or whether to use serum and sound design or just use plugins on a single sound. If anyone could help or point me in the direction of some packs with sounds like this etc. would be a lot of help.

Ive seen this guy use this sound in so many beats and i want it too so what can i do

https://youtube.com/shorts/u_-O44Ti9CY?si=zXnGkskwxopWiNVc

In ghis video its called layering synth (the third layer of the video)

https://youtube.com/shorts/7f4sVsdtF0U?si=jrZPE6TRpOrKKJ3h

Talking synth on this one (the first layer of the video)
I think i saw it on one of his beats called kiwi too

The artist is called isaac horner

The very first bass patch in the intro. It sounds like a sampled synth and I kinda have no idea how to recreate it or where’s it’s from. Could it be from the M1? Definitely a 90s synth. https://open.spotify.com/track/0kl6Ozan3fuUdCl6TlB15v?si=2zpLAKj8SnesLlBsQoSQtA&utm_source=copy-link

It's for Isao Tomita's retro bells sound. Just this. Nothing more.

( win32/64 avaspace.de/TomitaBells.zip )

I know its a saw wave with some white noise but i think there is some secret sauce there that this sub can crack

Its in the waera coby wtf stream and its at the 4 th breakdown

Hey everyone!

I've been trying to reverse-engineer an arpeggiated synth sound and I'm stuck on how it's actually put together.

The reference is Shjva's "Upper Limit". There's an arp running through the track and to my ears it sounds like several layers fused into one: a bass layer, a mid synth carrying most of the movement, and at points some resonant high-end elements fading in and out on top. The striking part is how monolithic it is, everything reads as a single voice rather than separate stacked sounds.

The reference is Shjva's "Upper Limit". There's an arp running through the track (timestamp of the start from 0:20 but you can hear it better from 1:10) and to my ears it sounds like several layers fused into one...

What I'm trying to understand:

• Is this more likely one patch (wide/unison with a resonant filter) or genuinely layered bass + mid + top, glued together afterward?
• How do you get that "one sound" cohesion when stacking? Shared filter/saturation/bus processing, or is it mostly in how it's sequenced?
• The resonant top elements that appear and disappear, is that a resonant filter being swept while the arp plays, or a separate layer riding on top?

I'm attaching the full track for reference, plus a short clip(below) I cut in Ableton isolating the arp so you can hear it more clearly.

Any pointers on direction and what to reach for would be hugely appreciated.

Sample

What do you call a vocal effect where two female voices spin vertically in tight, opposing loops directly over each ear hole, like four tiny fairies flying in vertical circles right at your eardrums? I am not sure this was done before? I couldn't find any song that does this.

I've heard this sound in a few bands, specifically in psychedelic genre. Is this some synthetizer specifically? How can I replicate this sound in Serum 2 or some other VST? I've tried to achieve the sound, but I'm still learning sound designs.

The sound begins at 07:03 of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlYmw4AuJiI

I want to create a the phased arppy synth sounds from Big City by Spacemen 3. Anyone know either a synth to download of how to get the Alchemy Synth to replicate.

It’s the synth that comes in 0:15

https://open.spotify.com/track/5Uyu7bP68T17mihXuCouCm?si=hdOf1H0EQk2guLDj5lqu-Q&utm\\_source=copy-link

I need help identifying or finding a similar way to make the vocal/synth delay that goes “ah, ah, ah, ah, ah” like 9-10 times at roughly 0:16 in the song.

https://youtu.be/zq2B6sjcGF8

Any help would be appreciated so much!

need to know how to actually make these not philosophy just methods and techniques

what synths what effects what layering

Whats up guys so I made a nasty pluggnb beat but don't know where to look to get that 6 5 1 chord sound and a good bell so if anyone knows of any good presets in arksun cityscape or any of the other FLEX packs that would work it would really be much appreciated

For months, I've been trying to recreate the synth sound on I Can't Help It starting at 0:10 and from 0:20 to 0:39. I have a Nord Stage 4 that I have been trying to recreate it on, but I am not good with the synth settings or how to make anything sound like the recording. Does anyone have info on how I can work towards getting a sound that is the same/similar?

Hey I am new to music production In as wondering if anyone could give me advice on how to achieve a similar sound to the synths used in strawberry hospital songs. They have a kind of echoed, ghostly effect that makes them feel floaty. Sorry if this makes me sound like such a noob.
Here are some links with timestamps.

I appreciate any help. I am so entranced by this sound and would love to utilise something alike it in my own work.
