...10058395% LMMS NATIVE.
one of the pads has Ozone Imager, but that's not necessary, I only used it to examine the instrument's stereo widening

(((not sure if this should be on this subforum)))

So hello guys once again, Vortex is here. In my last song, I tried to make uplifting trance using the excellent T-Force Alpha plus and legendary Synth1. Now, I tried to experiment with another powerful synth called ZynAddSubFx ;) So powerful enough it can literally make everything those 2 synths can, and I didn't knew I can fully remake my uplifting trance song that is LMMS native only. Decided to make these in the afternoon when I was making another song.

Here are the presets:

ARPEGGIOS

..............BUT!!! before that, you should make sure when you are gonna use these you must be using the version of LMMS at least rc-5 or the version/s that has David French's "Equalizer", the native LMMS EQ plugin that has graph -- otherwise, won't sound as intended. Also, these presets are performance level, meaning they lag on battery saver mode and older laptops/computers due to the heavy usage of arpeggio and ZASFX.
Feel free to modify to suite your needs.

///for songs with tempo around ~134 BPM few more or less otherwise you need to change arpeggio settings

Not sure what it should sound? Please listen first to the 30-second instrument demos below

--------------------------------------------------
1.) Main Uplifting arp 1
______Thick, heavily filtered cascading supersaws to be used by triads (three note chord) or more. This preset is best used in main song parts and drops. 200% gate and 112ms arp time.

--------------------------------------------------


--------------------------------------------------
2.) Main Uplifting arp 2
______Thick, heavy, but higher and stronger than the original Main Uplifting arp. To be used by triads. Best used in climax parts to articulate Main Uplifting arp 1 on parts without Uplifting arp thin 1. Or, to be a layered junction with Main Uplifting arp 1.

--------------------------------------------------


--------------------------------------------------
3.) Uplifting arp thin 1
______Thinner sounding arpeggio with less filter. Uses more notes and octaves than Main Uplifing arp, thus can be used to thicken the texture of the aforementioned preset. To be used by triads or more, starting on 4th octave (do not reposition key in plug-in window). 3-octave range, 44% gate and 112ms arp time. Best accompanied with Main Uplifting arp 1.

--------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------
4.) Uplifting arp thin 2
______Thinner sounding arpeggio with less filter (39 = default filter frequency) but uses square wave as the base waveform. I prefer using this on song parts fading to coda/outros than on drops.

--------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------
5.) Mellow uplifting bass 1
______Thick sounding heavily bandpassed bassline-based arpeggio to be used with only one note. Can thicken the texture of the drop when accompanied with Main Uplifting Arp

DEMO WITH MAIN UPLIFTING ARP: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1vZBei ... Y-e6coSJjm
--------------------------------------------------


--------------------------------------------------
6.) Mellow uplifting bass 2
______Same preset, but with longer envelope value and is a legato instead of arpeggio

SOLO DEMO: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1KzMHx ... rdu6lV2L2N
--------------------------------------------------


--------------------------------------------------
6.) Uplifting arp multi
______Multipurpose decimated arp for triads+ that can be used to accompany Main Uplifting Arp in any octave. When using lower octaves, I do not recommend including Mellow uplifting bass as it can muffle the bass or mixing if you can't handle it. Also putting it with Uplifting arp thin is useless as its sound can't be heard if not mixed properly.

--------------------------------------------------


--------------------------------------------------
7.) Uplifting pluck (originally progressive-house-pluck)
______Can be used to make staccato notes and manual arps. Best used on refrains and pre-drops and outros/codas with pad synths. Tip: experiment with the resonance to change texture and use it for the drop :)

PADS


--------------------------------------------------
1.) Trance pad 1 (originally Strings Pad1)
______Used as strings, with thin texture from filter. You can modify anytime with the settings on ZASFX window.

SOLO DEMO: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1BbrXU ... siBJB6cXEI
--------------------------------------------------


--------------------------------------------------
2.) trance_strings_pad (same file name)
______Best used solo on intros without any accompanying instruments, except atmospheric samples to suite sound design.

please do not quote the whole damn post when replying so people wouldn't feel difficulty in reading. ❤
That's very upbeating. For me there is no big difference between T-force Alpha plus and ZynAddSubFx. In both cases the sound is powerful. It sounds intended and that's exactly how trance music should sound. I love your art! Also , I wanted to talk about another part of it- the poster. I like it as well. Did you do it yourself? The transparent background just stole my heart. I can recommend using create.vista.com as they have templates for your poster, so you may save time on that and proceed to your real passion- music.
