Tips for Percussive Sounds on an MOTM

2002-03-13 by Matt Hutchison

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to create some percussive sounds on my MOTM. Can anyone offer any tips & tricks for creating percussive sounds?

Thanks!

-Matt

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!

hello all,

you could try looking at the analogue solutions website - sorry i'm on the
laptop, so i don't have the URL
they used to have a useful little document "creating analogue drum sounds" -
primarily based around monosynths but some good basic info, also check out
the recent issues of sound on sound, their synth secrets series has recently
moved on to drum synthesis. the april issue (just out in the uk) has a piece
on snare drums
