How to make this synth sound? (hip hop heads!)
How to make this synth sound? (hip hop heads!) Posted on: 27.03.2013 by Temple Cervelli It's in SO many of the late 90's and early 2000s Hip Hop tracks,lots of Dr Dre productions, i have gone mind blank now i need to believe of a source, but here is one, and this is exactly the sound.Eazy E - Compton City G's Dr n Snoop Jin n Juice Dr dre - let me ride Dr Dre- F*ck with Dre Day Dr Dre n Snoop - Nuthin but a G' thaaaang !!! There's some sound sources, mainly Dre tracks tbh, some pac as well. I'm guessing these producers have all used the same keyboard or virtual studio tool/synth to generate or even manipulate something to get this sound. I wonder... A yamaha or roland keyboard maybe? Been after this for ages. Cheers. | |

Doreen Schurle 30.03.2013 | Sounds like a double-oscillator synth to me, one square wave and one saw wave. Pretty easy to create on pretty much any modern (1990s-onwards) synth out there. Even the old Korg iS40 would do it, although obviously a Trinity/Triton would be better. You could probably do it with some of the tools in Komplete as well. |
Temple Cervelli 30.03.2013 | That's sound 8-) nice one man, I sure remember this track, ha! Okay, do you know what moog it's from or can they all generate this sound? And is their any moog AU plugins that I can achieve this sound from? I've got a Arturia V Modular (believe its a moog plugin) plugin. Any ideas? CheerS |
Lashay Walchak 30.03.2013 | It's a Moog. Give credit... |

Temple Cervelli 28.03.2013 | Ah okay, must of had volume low. Going to try this toevening |
Jetta Drenzek 28.03.2013 | He does demonstrate the sound. Not very well, he kind of just mashes keys, but the sound is there. |

Renata Shehu 27.03.2013 | THAT STYLE's known as .....g-funk......I LOVE IT especially when it's chopped and screwed....the characteristic synth sound can really be any basic waveform played really high...it doesn't need to be an expensive keyboard...the secret is to get a synth or pluggin with a PORTAMENTO or "glide" function...it will also work better if it's used in monophonic (1 note) mode...launch a basic synth pluggin..turn CUTOFF FREQUENCY and SUSTAIN knob's all the way UP... RESONANCE and ATTACK all the way down and you'll be in the ballpark... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G_funk |
Temple Cervelli 27.03.2013 | Okay, Triton has popped up like everywhere!!! I can't afford to by a hardware one atm but do you know if there is freeware/demo triton (even triton equivalent) sounding plugins? I'm using logic btw. Have ableton too. Thanks guys. |
Breanne Penge 27.03.2013 | Or Reasons Thor. |
Emelina Chillson 27.03.2013 | Korg Triton or a Juno 6 can make those sounds. In software, imageline's harmor. |
Shawn Vanhaitsma 27.03.2013 | I know Dre use to use a Workstation Keyboard I use to own called the Korg Triton Studio.. the factor presets and its oscs were definately tailored to hip hop. |
