re:909 Kick and 909 snare

re:909 Kick and 909 snare

2002-01-16 by spaceanimals

Bastiaan's kick and snare rock! Love the kick. I played with the 
snare a little. Turned the tuning way up on Osc 2, turned the ring 
mod all the way up, the volume of osc 1 and osc 2 all the way down 
and the resonance all the way down into the negative numbers. Then 
turned the noise down a little. 

I never knew about using the pitch envelope to make a percussive 
tone. Excellent tip. I also, never messed with the aural exciter or 
the eq. Man, there's a lot going on in this puppy.

Actually, that's the basic idea behind the "syndrums" that were all the rage in the early 80's.  It's designed to simulate what happens when a real drumhead is struck:  The force of the hit both vibrates the head, and stretches it, raising the pitch.  Shortly afterward, however, the head shrinks back to its original size, so the pitch falls during the decay of the drum.
