Axe-Master
Synthy Arps
laresee was interested in getting a sound similar to that used on the new animals as leaders album. specifically the synth sound used on this track at 2:28...
now i don't know whether that sound was played on a synth, or sequenced, or played with midi guitar. it's very clean, so i don't think it was the axe, but here's a patch.
just play single notes in the key of A Major
i have it set up so that envelope causes the arpeggiator to run (envelope is also tied to both lfo's as well). this means the sequence starts when you play your first note
some ideas for tweaking and developing...
try attaching a cc pedal to the duty parameter of lfo 2
try changing the waveform in the synth, or adding another of a different type
try inserting a drive block after the synth
try inserting a lowpass filter after the synth and controlling frequency with a cc pedal
try changing the key of the pitch block
try adding another pitch block (via copy and paste) underneath the first one, changing the pattern and then quickly crossfading between them using a cc pedal inversely attached to input gain on each shifter
try adding other effects. like a phaser or flanger
try inserting an octaver after the pitch block
try playing with the pan shape in the pitch block
EDIT: original patch seemed to be borked, so uploaded a new one
