I've noticed that 7 Minutes Dead has a sound similar to this in many of his songs. It's kind of like strings, but not quite... kind of like a pad, but not in the background....
It's difficult to describe, so I'll give many examples so you can eventually pick out what sound I'm talking about.
These are SIMILAR to the sound I'm talking about:
1. https://soundcloud.com/7minutesdead/del ... nd-request
From 2:05 to 3:05, it plays very long notes, and it's sidechained. At the part with the anvil sounds, it plays for three beats and stops for the anvil sound to play. Everywhere else, it tends to play really long notes, sometimes stretching up to four measures.
2. https://soundcloud.com/7minutesdead/7-m ... sidewinder
From 0:45 to 1:13, it plays very long notes.
This is EXACTLY the sound I'm talking about:
3. https://soundcloud.com/7minutesdead/the-passing
All the main parts (like 5:18 and 1:47), there is a sidechained sound similar to the previous examples, that starts from a lower frequency and sweeps up. Unlike before, this sound only plays for a couple beats each time, but it is featured throughout the entire song. Here are some extra time thingies to make extra, extra sure you know exactly what I'm talking about:
1:50, 1:57, 2:01, 2:06, 2:09, 2:12, 2:16, 2:21, 2:24, 2:27, 2:32, 2:36, 2:39, 2:42, 2:46, I think you get the point.
It seems like it should be easily achievable with ZynAddSubFX, but I can't get anything even close to it. Can you make something similar? Can you at least tell what waveforms and effects are being used?
