Motion Sweeps/Energy Building Sounds
Motion Sweeps/Energy Building Sounds Posted on: 17.10.2009 by Harold Jaras so while producing, we all (or most at least) find the need to build energy at certain points in the arrangement. a method commonly used that i've been wanting to utilize is a track that goes from a lower frequency to a higher one, usually layered under a progressively faster drum build up or the like. problem is, i can't seem to find any synths that have this sound, and don't know how to synthesize one myself. can anyone give me any insight as to where to find any of these, or how to make one myself?edit: i love this sub-community . a million thanks bento. | |

| Vernon Vanderberg 18.10.2009 | you can automate the pitch control or you can make a series of ascending notes for however many bars you want to build. then adjust the synth and give it relatively long glide and release times around 2 sec works for me. you can also overlap some of the ascending notes to bleed them together. this way it sounds as one long ascending notes rather than a series of individually ascending notes. this is helpful if you want to start at a c (or any note) and end at a c right before the drop. |
| Harold Jaras 19.10.2009 | wrong chris comin through with the right answer! thanks a lot brother |
| Belen Wermes 18.10.2009 | its a pretty simple technique. in whatever synth you use set the LFO to control the pitch and make sure the rate is set lowish (basically as slow as you want the pitch to rise) and the shape is set to an upwards ramp . or you can achieve the same sound by manually drawing in the pitch shift in the event automation. like start from the lowest octave/note you want and then gradually move it to highest note you want. to get that airy sound like in "boombox" your going to want to add some reverb and delay as well. In that sample it sounds like a 2-3 oscillator synth, it's nothing to crazy. you should be able to recreate it no problem . |

| Harold Jaras 18.10.2009 | yes that's exactly what i was talking about. thanks for the help. if anyone could give a quick tip to automating pitch bending in logic it would be perfect. |
