Hello , let me tell you how glad i am to find this place!!

after hours of "noodleing" as i think you put it in here, most of my creations on the g2 sound a bit ..........erm.......... poo..

i never really thought to search for a forum but i did and this looks just the ticket...

what i was looking for is some hardish patches/methods
ie. big fat osc synths like a virus , or some squelchy 303 sounds etc

rather that just the good old anoluge pads etc that seem to come with the g2 ....

can anyone give me some tips , or a certain persons patches/building blocks etc..

cheers

Hello!

Welcome to the forum...

For a demonstration of some really HARD sounds, look no further than Roland Kuit's patches.

Some building blocks you might want to check out are the DIY filters and Rob's warmth tricks. i've found these to achieve a lot more squelchiness and dirt than some of the pre-built filters. patch in some waveshaping and detune the filter cutoffs a bit and/or the mod. amounts to get something really grimy and raw. i'm not afraid to use some EQ, too.

Oh, could you be more specific regarding the sounds you'd like to make? You said squelchy 303 and 'big virus' sounds... is there a particular artist or track you have in mind?


I'm sure once we get some more responses to this thread you'll be on to more hardness and rawness in no time.

welcome Toneroll

There are great patches scattered all around. Things are organized better then they were in the old NM archives, but still it's hit or miss. One man's trash is another man's treasure.

Hi dude,

I heavly suggest you to read Advanced Synthesis Techniques for Modular Synthesizers Smile It covers a wide range of synthesis techniques suitable for almost all synths on the market. Its wrote using G1 as reference, but its information are a gold mine Wink

see ya

I just took a look at "Advanced Synthesis Techniques for Modular Synthesizers" myself. There are some very interesting emulations mentioned in there for the G1. Now I know why people were bummed you couldn't load the old patches into the G2. I would love to see some of these ported.

I haven´t yet checked it on the G2, but my own favourite way to make the G1 go "hard" was ending the patch with a compressor, then turning on the side chain, yet not giving it a side-chain. Tweak the settings a little and for heaven´s sake watch your speakers at the moment you click that button....

cheers for all the replies....

looks like i'm going to have some late nights ahead of me....

i'm going to have to look into that book, i don't really like the idea of using patches all the time, theye are good for starting points or for reverse engineering.... and some are so good you just have to leave them intact.... but i think the whole reason in getting a g2 is to make it your own, i;m sure i won't get any arguments there ..

Smile

Probably not, seems a good way to deal with the G2 to me, although you never can be sure here about the argument thingy :-)
