musical weird noises

2002-05-16 by spaceanimals

I find it easy to make weird noises on the AN1X but the noises are 
difficult to play musically.

Likewise I find it easy to make some generic, vanilla leads-just 
shift her in legato mode and presto...

The other day I had the brilliant idea of taking the gonzo filter 
sweep ring modulator noise and layer it with the lead. I played with 
the attack and the volume and some free eg so the noise built up 
gradually with a little sustain. A metallic sound with a sustain 
almost mimics a plate reverb-a gloriously cheesy one. This patch 
gives a good useful lead sound with some evolving craziness in the 
background. The big test will be to try this live with the band. Live 
a lot of the special effects just turn to mush.
