Subject: Re: Tips for Percussive Sounds on an MOTM

From: "mmarsh100" <mmarsh@...>

Big topic! Do you mean 80s type tom and bass sounds? As a starting
point try SIN out of a 300 whose FM1 has an 800 + out (Attack 0,
Decay 2.75, Sustain 0, Release 0). Play low keys, add some pink
noise and tweak Decay to taste.

Percussive sounds generally have sharp attacks, but the timbre can be
almost anything. Really high notes that have been FM'd make great
vibes, for instance. Throw in a little hard sync for weirdness (ask
Paul's cats).

I'm sure others will chime in!
