**acidhead** · 08-09-2003, 01:14 AM

**EmotionComplex** · 08-09-2003, 01:56 AM

the secret techno code prevents them from divulging any information to trance producers

Techno mostly comes out the sample library and trance seems to come out of the synths ...

**DJZeMig_L** · 08-09-2003, 02:54 PM

lol... I guess i should change over 2 trance then ç ;)

PS - most samples can b synthesized... should b I dare say!?

**Basil Rush** · 08-09-2003, 03:00 PM

Z - explain that one a bit ... ?

Synth's can be sampled I was with ... the other way I find a little more confusing :)

**professor** · 08-09-2003, 04:02 PM

for example-

syn wave down octive or two + a little click at the front = 909 kick

check out spinwarp.com (DnB forum) and look at the tutorials section. There should still be an article about synthesizing drum sounds...cow bells, hats, snares, kicks, etc.

**Basil Rush** · 08-09-2003, 05:14 PM

909 is a synth anyway :) Doesn't the pitch of the kick dive though a bit on a 909 ... funny thing about the 909 kick was that a mate of mine who had a band called the secret used to swear that you couldn't sample a 909 kick ... and I laughed and said of course you can.

Anyway, got a 909 in the studio one day and gave it a go, plugged it into the Akai S2000, hit record and **** me, it doesn't sound right.

Took me a while to spot this one but the transient is so fast the Akai seemed to miss it completely, either didn't start recording in time or the A/Ds (a bit dodgy at the best of times) just couldn't cope with the dead short high transient at the beginning.

Anyway, modern technology means I've got several decent 909 kick samples now ... but was thinking more about non-percussion sounds that come out of the sample library in techno ... loops and things ...

If you want a challenge you could try synthing a mark tree (long thing with small tubular wind chimes ...)

You obviously havn't heard much techno then....

**DJZeMig_L** · 08-09-2003, 08:43 PM

sorry .. don't think what I meant came across all that well...

1st there is in my view a very big comeback 2 synths in Techno...
2nd U can start with a sampled sound and totally warp it into a new something... thus synthesizing it!

Check out crime's stuff 4 some top notch synth patch creation! ;)

**crime** · 08-09-2003, 09:58 PM

Synths rule.... especially really twisted mad synth sounds...
I use:
MPC 2000
Nord Modular
Studio Quad FX

**crime** · 08-09-2003, 09:59 PM

That's all I use for writing trax BTW, nothing else... I have an S 3000 but that's just gathering dust.. gets dragged out occacionally for a remix..

**The Overfiend** · 08-09-2003, 11:07 PM

Crime, pat on the back. I have put money in your pocket many a times.
Thanks for the tunes.

**DJZeMig_L** · 09-09-2003, 01:50 AM

**acidhead** · 09-09-2003, 03:02 AM

i use 95% synths and cant seem to get a hard sound (not as hard as i want anyway) would sampling the synths give me the fast attack for a harder sound?

any links crime??? :)

**DJZeMig_L** · 09-09-2003, 03:21 AM

what exactly do u mean by hard sounds??

try seq. in 1/2 bar that generally creates a faster, hard pacing feel 2 the sequencing..
