Tutorial 1

How to make a Trance Gate Sound

In this tut, we make a Trance Gate sound using Synth 1.


Open Synth 1 Vst.
You'll see the default screen like this. And at the bottom, it is called initial sound.

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


Okay, first off, in the Filter Section. We're using LP 24.


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


Set both oscillator 1 and 2, including sub to this saw sign.


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


Go to the Amplifier Section.

You'll see it has ADSR dials.
The letter A is the attack dial.
Since our aim, is to make a slightly hard start up sounding rapid gated sound and not an airy sounding one.
Lower that Attack dial, to a very low number 1 or 0.
Note: If you're making an airy version, anything from 50 and up, will do.

Play around with the D and S dials as much as you want, until you get the desired sound you want.
For this tut, I suggest leaving the R(release dial) on it's default 64.

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

Now back to Osc 1, Turn the Detune dial to 32 or slightly more if you want.
Don't turn it too much though, or it'll sound horrible. Lol!



The dial written sub, Turn that sub button to 28 or slightly more etc.
Not too much though. Otherwise it'll sound horrible.


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

In the Filter Section. You'll see the dial called Freq.
Note: This Freq dial is very important, especially when making, rapid gated sounding sounds.
More on that later.
Turn Freq all the way up 128 or less if you want etc.

Note: Turning that Freq dial, makes the sound/gated sound, sound different.

(optional) Also, turn the Sat dial a bit up too. Similar to how it looks in the pic.
Sat stands for Saturation.
Also, you can play around with the Filter Sections D and S dials if you want.

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

In the Effects section of Synth 1.
Look for the button called Unison.
If it's not Bright Green, it means it is off.



Press the Unison button until the circle on the left side, is bright green.
Bright green means it is on.

The Unison Button makes a sound, sound FAT and Wide.
Like a Fat Boy Cake. Lol!


Now Under the Unison button, you'll see the Number 2,

with two grey blocks to it's side.
Press the top grey block, until it changes to the Number 3.

Or raise to 4 if you want.
But don't go too high, otherwise it'll sound too loud. Lol!


Under the Unison button, you'll see more dials/knobs.
Raise the det dial a bit, as much as you want.
Raise the phase dial a tiny bit.
And if you want, turn the sprd up a tiny bit.


The section called Voice leave it on Poly. In this pic, you'll notice it's on 18.
Press one of the grey blocks and raise the Poly to something high.
Like 28 or 30 etc.


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

Now the secret to making that Gated sound effect, is the LFO thingy.

Press the button with the number 1 until it changes yellow.
For this tut, make sure the other LFO button named 2, is off.
We're only using one LFO for this tut.



Then change the blue upside down wave sign to a Saw wave.
It should look like this afterwards.



Then turn on the Tempo and Key button, until it glows green.
It should look like this.


Now, to get the Fast Gated sound.
Turn the Tempo dial to 16.
And turn the Key dial to something like 102.

And most importantly, click the circle, next to the word amp.
That'll connect the LFO 1 to the Amplifier.


Press any key, or the Y key on your keyboard.
Taa daa! Sounds cool eh?

And that's how to make a Gated sound using Synth 1.

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

Optional Stuff: Go to the Effects Section of Synth 1 and check out the Tempo Delay and Chorus Flanger.

Tempo Delay: Turn up a bit, the sprd, toned and d/w.
d/w multiples the sound. so don't turn it up too much unless you're trying to make a special sound.
I suggest turning d/w up to 35 or slightly more or less if you want.

Chorus Flanger: Play with the depth a bit, if you want.


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

I hope you enjoyed this tut.
You can take almost any sound and turn it into a gated sound in Synth 1, by using the LFO 1 or LFO 2.
Using both of LFO's together, can give you many unique sounds.

More tuts coming soon.

Yaaaaay
Looking forward to the pipe guy sound

[Gps]

Great Tut, thank you.

[brandystarbrite]

Yaaaaay
Looking forward to the pipe guy sound

Great Tut, thank you.

Wooah! You guys found my tut so quickly?!
Thanks guys!
Here's a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sized Pizza!
Yummy!!

Sorry I didn't message you all earlier.
After putting this tut up late last night, to after midnight, I was so tired, I went to Kirby's Dream Land.
I was planning to message you guys today about it.
Glad you guys found it though.

The Pipe Guy tut will take a while.
The only problem is, that I'm trying my best to emulate, that hard vibrating deep bassy sound in Synth 1.
And it wasn't easy.
I was able to pull it off a bit though, but it still needs to sound closer to the original sound, in the vid.
I'll try my best to finish it, as quickly as I could.

In the meantime. Enjoy my tuts!
Glad you guys like this one. And I hope you guys put it to good use, in your music projects too.

Nice work! Perhaps you could also explain what the various components actually DO, and why you move a certain dial?
That way you would also tell HOW to fish :p

[caLRo]

Solid tutorial, good job!

So that's what a Trance Gate sounds like. Good tut!

Thanks alot ACYDE, Gps, musikbear, caLRo, slipstick, roy 38 and everyone else
Glad you all liked it.

Yep. I agree.
I wanted to do that, but that would be so much to write.
And there are still things in Synth 1, that I still don't understand yet and I'm still learning as the days go by.

Are you on youtube? Great tut by the way, very concise and easy to follow

I'm on youtube, but I haven't posted any vids or tuts yet.
I will hopefully do so, in the next couple of months.
I'm glad to see it was easy and concise to follow.
