Sort of like this...


I made the above sound in Reason.
For reference, here is how it is constructed:


1.It is made using 9 seperate softsynths each running the same patch.
Notes for the synth line are distributed in an arpegiator-type fashion between each of the 9 synths.

2.The output of each synth enters a delay unit - fully 9 seperate delay units.
Each delay unit is set to a different clock speed. 1/16, 1/8, 1/6, 1/4, etc.

3.The delay units' outputs are then summed together in a mixer, and the panning for each channel is adjusted so that different delay outputs are in different places in the stereo field.
The output of the mixer feeds into a Low Pass filter.

4.The filter has its cutoff frequency automated to achieve the downward-melting motion.


So uh yea. How do I do all of that on a Virus..? Or something that sounds similar, in a more efficient fashion..

have one sound and automate multiple sends in your DAW?
