How To Drop Frequency Over Time?
How To Drop Frequency Over Time? Posted on: 05.10.2009 by Harold Jaras right, so i have a nice fat bass synth tone that i want to drop in frequency over time. problem is, my hard synth is old and doesn't have any mod/pitch wheels so i figure i'm gonna have to hard program it :/ i'm in logic, does anyone know how to achieve this? | |

| Riccardo gava 05.10.2009 | massive would probably be easier. or why not drop the sample into logics ESX24 sampler? |
| Harold Jaras 04.10.2009 | maybe i'll try massive.. |
| Harold Jaras 04.10.2009 | thanks for the ideas guys, i guess some more specifics would have helped: it's not so much a full synth i have tweaked, but it's a sample that i've loaded into ultrabeat. i'm going to try your methods out and see what i can come up with, unless someone can give me an ultrabeat-specific method. thanks again. p.s - that's a sweet track rjw |
| Luann Scatterday 04.10.2009 | you didn't mention which synth it is... but you can use a spare envelope to modulate the pitch (osc) with a long attack, depends on yer synth but you might need a negative modulation value! Z |
| Riccardo gava 04.10.2009 | If it's got portemento on it, set it to the highest/longest setting. Then press and hold your start note. Without letting go, press a second lower note. Hold them both and it should glide from one to the other. |
