Re: Tips for Percussive Sounds on an MOTM

2002-03-14 by mmarsh100

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!
