Simple sound i know but i'm having trouble achieving it properly



Thx

What synth are you trying to make it with?

The tonal characteristic in that clip is bright - you won't get that sort of brightness from the Virus. Sounds more like something that would pop out of a Nord or softsynth.

It is a simple sound - sounds like 2 sawtooths (very slightly detuned) with 2 LFO's. 1 LFO contoling the amp and another set very slowly on randomly detuning the oscilators. Envelope settings are simple....

Really, you need to experiement....

If you're wanting to hear some real brass...then listen to the sound that comes in at 1m 23secs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koWUu8GT_4o&fmt=18

I think the real key to realistic brass or any wind instrument is in the envelope and application of noise. Everytime you're working on the amp or filter envelopes, it's important to not let yourself forget that you ultimately want the complex sound of blowing into a warped metal tube :) Surprisingly its not as complex to achieve via programming as the sound itself is! But a synth with complex filter possibilities is a great tool in the tool box -- perhaps more importantly is your own familiarity with the synth (or at least that's what gets in my way the most.... I tend to create the best sounds with whatever synth I've invested the most hours with, regardless of the quality of the synth itself).

Hate to say it but sometimes for brass sounds you get the best results from out of box samples or romples, but you can achieve same with some filter work then finding the harmonic content you want.

Thx alot for this .. yeah I couldn't really get an authentic sound with the virus. i got closer though with sylenth following your instructions. However just bought a Juno 106 and found the patch straight away - juno is killer where has it been all my life!
