LukeFRC Posted Thursday at 09:05 Posted Thursday at 09:05 If you put two heliospheres on a path each (one short, one long) each followed by random chorus and then combine into a long dynamic plate reverb with some modulation it gets pretty close to some of the settings of an eventide black hole reverb! now it probably needs eq too so it’s going to max out the blocks on my hx stomp but interesting exploring Quote
Jack Posted Thursday at 10:06 Posted Thursday at 10:06 If we're speaking about effects and sounds, can someone help me sound like Robyn? I need a choppy synth sound, been messing with the tremolo and synths but can't quite get there. Any ideas? Quote

I need a choppy synth sound, been messing with the tremolo and synths but can't quite get there. Any ideas? Unless you are lucky and hit upon a combination that suits your playing style you are unlikely to be able to get an envelope to match a sequenced synth. I use a chopped up sound on the chorus of one song which is done live using distortion into the Tremolo with a falling sawtooth wave. However for recording it has been completely replaced with the Step FX in Logic which gives me a lot more control over the envelopes. The problem with trying to do this with Tremolo is that the waveform you really need isn't there. The square wave is to abrupt a cut off and the falling sawtooth wave doesn't have a sustain potion. Having said that the song you linked to appears to be slower than ours so you might get there by playing with the duty cycle of the tremolo waveform and hope there's a sweet spot that does what you want. Of course there's also the issue of synchronisation. I use MIDI clock from the computer that is our drummer and second synth player to keep the Helix in sync with the backing which works on our song, but I have had problems in the past with songs with odd bar and beat counts where using something like tremolo can end up 180° out of sync which is the last thing you want. What is really needed is a MIDI-controlled Filter and gate with full ADSR envelopes for each. I've put a request in on the Line6 IdeaScale but it needs more votes... Quote
Jack Posted Thursday at 11:59 Posted Thursday at 11:59 (edited) Thanks for the response. I kind of feel better knowing that it's hard, makes me feel less like an idiot. It doesn't have to be perfect as this is for my 'acoustic' trio and not like a a loud party band or anything, just the bass line has a very different vibes with me just planting root notes on a fretless. It needs some kind of wooble... I guess I'll set up the tone generator, plug it into my computer and have a real mess around, starting with distortion into tremolo as you have suggested.

It needs some kind of wooble... I assume then that the rest of the band will be playing to you? Set the tempo as part of the patch and the tremolo to 1/8 notes. Make sure that you can all keep in sync. There's nothing worse than a sequencer part that sounds out of time. Quote
LukeFRC Posted Thursday at 12:44 Posted Thursday at 12:44 can the Ashville pattern into fuzz/envelope get close? Quote
