distorted leads / bass drum?

distorted leads / bass drum?

2004-05-14 by puzzlelounge

So far, I think the distortion 1 & 2 effect don't sound good.

Does anyone have tips to get a nice distorted lead & bass drum? 

Are distorted samples included on any ROMs?

I realize that I could use an external distortion, so please don't
suggest that!!!

>>>I agree, they are very digital and cold sounding. <<<

>>>Sometimes you can modulate the filter cutoff very slightly with the 
fastest LFO speed possible.  NOt sure if the Emu's LFO's go fast enough 
for this, haven't tried it yet personally.  It's not distortion per se, 
but it can roughly mimic it. <<<

>>>Sort of, there's some distorted sounding samples, but they still sound 
pretty cold. <<<

I realize that I could use an external distortion, so please don'tsuggest 
that!!!

>>> Have you thought baout using an external distortion device? :) Instead 
of guitar pedals, think about a PodXT, lots of great distortion in that 
one, and very warm sounding! <<<
