Re: Anybody know how to make this sound?

2000-12-03 by jondl@jdlx-musique.com

Hi Bjorn - welcome to the list,
Why don't you take some of the 303-type sounds you've already found
and 
experiment with the AN1x FX settings for any of the following
Variation 
effects: AuralExc, Compressr, Wah, Dist, OvrDrive or Amp Sim. Surely 
one of these will help you get closer to your ideal sound.

Don't forget, there is an acceptable level of real time control of
the 
Variation Effects on the AN1x. The  VarEF D:W (dry to wet ratio) can
be 
assigned to a real time controller in the Ctrl Matrix - and Vari
Param 
(a Variation Effect modulator) can be set to Common parm 1 or 2.
Check 
the settings of the 303 voices for a good jump off point.

Also, download AN1xEdit (if you haven't already) as it makes 
programming the Step Sequencer & FreeEG much more inviting than the 
front panel controls. Both the Step Seq and FreeEG go along way to 
making the 303-type sounds compelling.

Sorry, but I don't know the specific tracks you mentioned so I can't
be 
more specific with tips.

HTH.

Jon

searching for several years. Does anyone remember the song "Up To No
Good" by Porn Kings or "Overdose" by Snack from 1996? Both these
tunes uses a synth lead which sounds like a powerful 303 on
overdrive+++. You'll know when you hear them! Is there anyone (if
possible on the AN1X) who knows how to make that sound?
