re percussion sounds

2003-01-30 by spaceanimals <alciere@midmaine.com>

On the amp env turn the sustain down to 0 and then turn the decay up 
until you get enough sound. Try mixing in some noise. try using the 
band pass filter or the notch filter. Notch tends to get real crazy 
and distorted, Band pass gets real rubber band funky. High pass is 
nice for cymbal type sounds. Sometimes a long release is cool for 
those long booms. The Aphex effect works good on these sounds as does 
the compressor. Try the ring modulator. Use the echo effect with tons 
of feedback-turn it up to the 90s! Set up your sequencer or 
arpegiator to some cool setting like 12ths, quarter eighth and 16th 
are sooo boring. Distortion is nice. Sync mod is cool. Play around 
with the free eg and sync it to the arpegiattor for a lot of fun. Yes 
try fm.
 
Most important, have fun!
