Hi,

been lately triing to synthesise those 'kinda oldkool' rave sounds, like e.g. the new dom&roland, i 4 an i, the intro: audio-link
3th one from the top, a-side...

Used to be a trademark of Total science, but lately...

anyway, thougth it where high-passed reeces or something, but i don't get that 'eery' sound.

the so called 'rave-pads' in any of my synths sound nothing like it eiher.

anyone has got some clues Confused

nobody knows? or has any ideas in what direction to search? Confused

or is this question so stupid it doesn't deserve an answer? Smile

only thing i found was a bit vague: set osc to multiple (so 1xosc becomes 4xosc,... didn't know they could do that) detune them all differently to create this 'chorus' like effect...

can someone explain this? sounds like 4 different osc detuning, a lot imo... and is this explanation in the rigth direction? haven't found a 'multiple osc' button yet, but will try it later

Not good at this either... I stick to the Rave sounds (Hoovers) from the samplepack on this site or on VSTi's

Not sure what sound exactly you mean, I couldn't listen to the track...

dom, 9th from the top (cool track too). don't wanna use any samples, heard enough 'total science-rips' already.

btw this sound=hoover? aha, then i learned something i guess Smile

Maybe searching 'how to synthesise hoover' will get me a bit further.

Yeah, but I don't have Real Player Frown

Tried finding it on Slsk too, but no succes yet Frown

A lot of my hoover samples come from old skool house tracks, not Total Science Wink

Finally got the track, and they're old skool hoovers indeed. They sound quite like the ones on Nasty Django - King of FFM... I suppose they are Juno indeed...

The classical rave sound is based on an organ sound, try messing with that. A good starting point would be a Hammond organ sound, put a fast tremolo or leslie effect on it or put an LFO on the VCA.

Then it's just a matter of finding the right chords Big Grin

I have a Roland Alpha Juno and despite what some music mags say (and over 7 years of messing with it) I can't get a hoover sound out of it! (i.e. the Dominator track synth effect)

Although it does make some other cool sounds.

The hoover sfx is very fast PWM. Maybe it was a Juno sfx sampled low on the keyboard and pitched up, or maybe it was time-compressed?

Incidentally found these on the net

Actually just found some parameter settings - I'll try them tonight and post some samples tomorrow if they work!

Right, forget what I said I own the bomb of hoover synths! The problem was that I didn't realize it was based on the envelope affecting the pitch!

I've uploaded some samples onto Yahoo, I sampled them at 44.1kHz, 16bit mono and made sure they're quite long so you can get a loop out of the end portion (hopefully).

CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD MY FREE HOOVER SFX

I've also multisampled them without the pitch envelope effect or chorus effect on. Might be a little more useful for building synth patches out of...

CLICK HERE FOR THE SAMPLES WITHOUT PITCH ENVELOPE OR CHORUS ON

unfortunately the PWM (pulse wave modulation) is a time based effect so will sound weird if using a sample pitched far from it's original pitch Frown

AAAAAAAAARGH - I've hit my download bandwidth, can someone suggest somewhere else I can upload them to or would an moderators be kind enough to let me stick them on this site? Confused

Royalty free, blah, blah - just give me a mention in your album sleeve if you get famous Bigup

Also added them to HeavyWeightSoundz Basket
