The results - Gigantic polysynths, modulating leads, distorted organs, synth pop bass, complex modulations, punchy pads and absolutely insane FX. Then, we multi-sampled it, often recording entire patches to tape, shaping others with tube saturation, API preamp, and Moog filter, but making sure to track many patches with no processing whatsoever. We layered patches and used complex modulations, but also captured many single oscillator basic waveshapes. Every day we thought we were done, this thing just had more stuff we had to capture. We learned every aspect of the synth, hooking up our midi to XLR cables (?), programming via the intensely complex front panel editing system, and also on the computer with Midi Quest.
We really took our time when creating hardware patches. ( more info) FM PM Demonstration 3OP 1.0 by OspreyInstruments. You can layer two completely independent 4 voice patches with separate filters, envelopes, modulations and waveforms, and the results are unreal. Another cool trick for bass is to make one very resonant, funky enveloped sound, and layer this with a completely unresonant, simple and fat waveform. SynthieCat is a matrix synth inspired by the EMS Synthi A model, perfect for sound design and experimentation that lets you freely patch signals and modulators. Programming was overwhelming at first but proved deeply rewarding. What a lot of people don’t know is that you can download and install further individual Live Packs from Ableton for free. We began by having our Voyetra completely tuned and calibrated to perfection by one of the original engineers who helped design the synth - it wasn't cheap but the unit came back sounding unbelievably good, so it was well worth it.
