Awesome stuff!
Drum synthesis is one of those rabbit holes where you can obsess for a long time, when instead you can find good enough sounds quickly and should probably just use them!
I wonder how many collective hours people have burned in trying to synthesize the 909. Here's one cool video of getting it in Reaktor (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=A_AWH3SgM84 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=A_AWH3SgM84)... way cool as a project, but the ROI if everyone did it lol.
I've been using all my spare hours the past week spinning on trying to synthesis the snare used in the original Amen Break using Modo Drum to no avail. Like I said... Rabbit hole and I should probably just use samples like everyone else :(
- trypwire 5y agoThanks! Oh yea, such a rabbit hole. I started trying to synthesize a snare as part of this library and blog post and got lost in the weeds so quickly. I ended up skipping it for now but will surely come back to it eventually
- alfiedotwtf 5y agoTime consuming, but fun no doubt :) I've been wondering if machine learning or metaheuristics could be used to get close to an input sound. I've been toying with this idea using MIDI CC with a Rytm.
- scarecrowbob 5y agoReally depends on your end goal. I've spent a lot of time synthesizing drums I could have sampled, but I'm a lot faster and more precise at synthesizing whatever I need now. If you just want to make the air shake, a quick way is to turn on the radio :D
- alfiedotwtf 5y agoThe kick, I'm fine. Getting the 909 snare on the Rytm is impossible for me, and hitting the original Amen Break kit's snare on MODO Drum is proving difficult (and yes, I've brought the tempo back to the original bpm) but still not close :(
