Blog 4 before sytrus redux

I was looking through the sytrus machine on Fl studio, searching through the presets for a good idea for tones, and I stumbled upon two, one which made me think of a techno styled bopping noise, and the other which made me think of making a chorus styled "ah" for the main melodies. I used a set form of AABA styling, leaving breaks in the main melody for random interlude loops. Most of the loops were created using the "Riff Machine" in Fl studio, creating little riff lines for the piece.While I was in sytrus I used the Volume and cutoff key mappings so that certain notes can be heard more clearly and so they cut themselves off faster into the actual piece itself. One of my main influences on this piece is that of a band by the name Planet X, which can be heard through the weird space bubbly noises throughout the song

Ring Tone

My ring tone consists of just acid sytrus loops, and I made it short and to the point so that it can easily be looped, or kept rather short. I also made it so that if it were looped it would be rather annoying so that it would work well for an alarm, because being an insomniac with trouble actually getting up in the morning I know the importance of loud irritating alarms to wake you up.

Sytrus ReDux

The Final Product Of The Sytrus Synth Machine. I put in a few extra sounds to give the creepy dark techno loop, a bit more of a drone mysterious feel. Only a few of the lines came from the Riff Machine, but the other I had to make myself because I wasnt getting the lines I needed for the specific sytrus synth.

i've created my synths and i am in the midst of making melody lines for my piece. I created my second synth which started off as a sine wave but i transformed it to only have one wave and has a bump in the middle of it and has a more melodic noise that helps move the other synth along swiftly. I moved the sine shaper and the skew all the way down to get this sound. I moved the keymapping volume around so that higher notes would get more noise. Also i gave the second operator a sine wave that got pushed into a vicious trend of waveform to back up the original sound wave. I had two filters, one with the bp and one with the svf. The svf was in triple mode with more drive in it, and the bp was in double with not much drive. the speed and spread in the fx was pushed up alot but it has no delay.

I found one synth today. I used a sine wave that I slightly tweaked to have a bit more of a bop sound, so that it had more of a spacey tonality. I used the tension slider in the wave for this effect and it seemed to work relatively well. I used the first two operators and used the the original svf filter sound but I pushed the waveshifter mixer down a little bit to give it more what seemed to be wah sound, whilst bringing down the cutoff envelope. I brought up a bit of the chorus delay and depth on the fx portion of it, while enabling the delay and bringing tempo and feedback levels up slightly. with this I will create a kind of gently yet creepy sort of piece that sounds like a bit of a techno piece.

Today I went over many different sounds of sytrus to find one matching my sound in my head, finding to my suprise nothing. This worked well however, for it inspired me more to just write the entire synth myself, and figure out my own sounds myself rather than be inspired by others noises. I chose to follow by the piano voicing in the band Athiest, a early 90's metal band that made very few slow piano songs, but I followed that mentality that if I could find a spacey, kind of air filled synth, I could write the piece. I found that the best way to do this is by using the sine waves. Unfortunately this is as far as I have gotten for today.
