Tutorial 11
How to easily make a:
Lead synth sound
(Yep. This was highly requested)
1) First off, we find a default soundbank.
And we take off all LFO's etc.
In other words the numbers
1 and
2 and
Tempo and
Key button, must all be
off,
or not lit up, like in the pic shown.
---------------------------------------------------
2) Set
Osc 1, to the
saw sign.
This is the
Saw symbol, for
Osc 1.
---------------------------------------------------
3) Turn the
FM dial to
24.

We want this sound to sound nice.
---------------------------------------------------
4)We turn the
Mix dial, fully all the way to the
Left.
Because, we only want to use Osc 1.

Leave the other dials in their default position.
Note: Turning the mix dial
fully left, means, we only use
Osc 1.
Turning it
fully right, means we only use
Osc 2.
If we leave the dial to the
center, it uses
both Osc 1 and Osc 2.
----------------------------------------------------
5)
Amplifier Section
A =
14
R =
52
The reason we reduce the R dial, is to give the effect and make the notes, cut off a bit anytime they play.
Especially, if we're going to make melodies, where the notes are close together.
----------------------------------------------------
6) Now we go to the
Filter Section.
Frq =
27
res =
12
sat =
36
---------------------------------------------------
7) Select
LP24 Yee hah!!
---------------------------------------------------
8 ) Now we go to the
Tempo Delay Section
Do you see the blue letters marked
ST?
Well,
click on it and select
X.
We are using
X for this synth sound. Because
X sounds really cool for this sound.
Turn the following dials, located by the Tempo Delay Section.
fdbk =
84........or lower it to something like
70, or
less, if you don't want much feedback.
d/w =
40 or less etc.
Don't touch any of the dials in the
Chorus Flanger Section, unless you want to experiment,
with making new sounds.
----------------------------------------------------
9) Now we're going to make our lead sound Fat.
If you don't want to make your lead sound fatter, then ignore step 9.
Go here and look for the
Unison button.
The Unison Button makes a sound, sound
FAT and
Wide.

Like a
Fat Boy Cake. Lol!

And we want to make this lead sound fat.
Press the
Unison button until the circle on the left side, is
bright green.
Bright green means it is
on.
-----------------------------------------------------
10) Press keys, make chords, or Arpeggios etc. in the piano roll and enjoy!
And there you have it. An easy made Lead sound.
Enjoy!
