Serum, Diva or Sylenth1? Guess what the synth presets come from.
I have been sound designing synthesizer presets for decades. The choice of what synthesizer to choose out of Diva, Serum and Sylenth1 isn’t that simple. You get wavetable with serum and some really great sounds, Diva has a great filter, but so does Sylenth. My advice would be to learn a synthesizer like the back of your hand. Whatever you choose, if you have the patience to master it, you will get amazing sounds.
Over the last 5 or 6 years I have been quietly cloning my favourite analog synthesizers with a specific soft synth. Every week I have been working on a few. I ended up with with well over 500.
I have learned so much from the process adopting virtual analog techniquies and quirks to get around matching sound as close as possible. Also I will go down the path of adapting them to my own sounds influenced by what I consider the G.O.A.T. Synth sounds.
My biggest plugin synth inspiration would be Omnisphere because they clearly have the very best plugin synthesizer sound designers on the planet in my opinion, and what better reference than the best to measure my sounds by.

Tenalock - Nightcall (Kavinsky Cover Virtual Analog sylenth1)
zhlédnutí 116Před 16 hodinami
What a challenge this Nightcalll Kavinsky track was. Really wanted to see what was possible “ in the box” despite my absolute obsession with the sound of analog synths. The synthesizer sounds were pretty intense to create and I didn’t mind if they were not the same, just the flavour of analog synthesizers had to be there. No idea what synths they used but I started making a sound similar to the...
The greatest ever sylenth1 synthesizer sound pack incoming. 5 years in the making.

The longest project I ever undertook, for every sound I designed there are a hundredfold number of ones I decided not to use. I used my analog hardware, softsynths, plugins, omnishpere, Oberheim OBX8, Roland Jupiter 8 and the Yamaha CS80 all for inspiration because 1000 average to good sounds are not as good a single legend sound. I keep saying is going to be really soon, and it will be, but it...

Why the synthesizer sylenth1 you may ask. Well it is very low on cpu so with the Sylenth1 synthesiser plugin presets I designed from the raw unit patch you can layer many in an instrument rack and they sound amazing. If you add good effects ( these are raw or Built in fx) the result can be as good as anything available. Sylenth1 also has instant patch recall. It’s a retro plugin these days and ...

Well it has been quite a month for my synthwave, chillwave and lofi music after introducing long format mixes. I have literally seen a 1400x increase in hours listened to in the last month.

It makes a lot of sense because I listen ...

I have been creating some synthesizer sound packs recently and was left with all the Chillout sounds I created in my Daw and so I jammed the main chord and though it was kind of special so kept adding layers to it. I guess you could say this synth track is a celebration of reaching 1200 hours of my music played a month which is crazy awesome. This track brought out some real nostalgic chill vib...

80s Nostalgic Synthwave Mix - Tenalock (Almost 2 hours)

So I recently uploaded another 80s influenced synthwave mix that was chillwave, and that got 1000 times the normal listening time I normally get. That was my first ever mix I uploaded and it got like over 500 hours listening in a very short time and it keeps growing. That is so much more listening that I had using other mediums over the last decade. The big change I learned about is that people...

Just fast forward the video of sylenth polyrythms and see if there is anything you like the sound of and work backwards from there. Use the slow function of youtube to keep up, I know I click too fast to keep up.

I built up a retro future world from playing and recording some driving bass on my Sequential Prophet 5 synthesizer live. It has a bass like no other synthesizer! I mixed it more like a dance track, highly compressed and limited with the intention of cranking the volume on the car stereo with it shaking the whole vehicle.

zhlédnutí 114Před měsícem
A track I mashed up super quick a while ago and pulled it out of the potential folder and developed it into this. It has a really nice sound and the sounds all go together really well. I like it and hopefully someone else enjoys listening to it also. This is a 100% digital production, no analog synths on this one. For sure some of the sounds are clones of my analog synthesiser favourites though...

I did a colab with Megalove which was fun. I took Megaloves vocals and lyrics and added them to an existing track I had and it worked really well. It was actually way more work than I expected but a great result as a remix. I recently decided to try adding more effects to the mix and to mix and master it myself for a challenge and it came out great. Not my first colab, I did one with Ghost Geor...

The first track on the Tempo Tantrum album, it is a bit of as grower. I wanted to make some more uptempo synthwave tracks that would translate to the dance floor or good car stereo sound system with some good frequencies. For sure some late 80s synth pop influences, I would say Vince Clarke influences with lots of layering and synth parts for a really big sound. I added a couple of build ups to...

Thanks for the support, every comment helps get my music heard.
cant wait mate thank you for all the effort put into this!
Thanks, I am trying to develop it into something more like omnisphere and Rolands "Galaxy". It will be perfect for making instrument racks with 4 parts ie 4 of my sylenth patches together.
in addition to using individual sounds
Love this 🔥
Awesome, thx. Made it really quickly, always a good sign when things are flowing well.
@@tenalock Oh, and the visuals are also superb, and they fit so well with the music. It looked so good that I initially assumed they were from some sort of professional source before reading the video description! You definitely got some skills! And what a treat to be living close to such a beautiful place. Great work, keep it up!
Smashing, another great one!
Thanks, came out great for such an old plugin, but a classic plugin.

Very soon, just a couple of things to complete.

Thanks, it seems putting in so many hours for a very complex track to make, paid off.
Preem!
Thanks for the support, I hope more people can hear it and like it.
Another great track- can I ask what you're using for the images?
Thanks for the support, every comment helps grow getting my music out there. This is chat gpt. This was about 45 mins of trying to get what I wanted. Then I couldn’t so I ended up chopping up different ideas in photoshop from some of them. I chopped her out, removed the previous character and hashed together the idea of the 100% healthy breath machine that improves brain function thanks to some photoshop work. Chat got tends to produced quite generic images that once you recognise them look a bit lame, but when you dive a bit deeper it gets much more interesting and there is an opportunity to be creative with ideas without the art skills, well actually time.. I want that for the music making. Great to have the opportunity to have some artwork I think up created, because without it, I would simply not have started putting my music on CZcams. I already had 60 hours of my music listened to here, and only just started, and in 2024 that is hard to achieve with tens of thousands of tracks released every day. Happy people choose mine to listen to. Thx
@@tenalock thanks for such a complete answer. Loving the music!
@@theriveryeti2426 no worries
very nice 💚
Thank you. A personal fave.
Heck yes, another superb track! :D
Thanks for the support
Great vibe,really appreciate.A new sub👍
Awesome, thanks for the support. So hard to grow an audience with so much music out there being released every day.
@@tenalock totally!i am struggling too so when i discover something good i always try to support:)
The way the vocals sound (sort of robotized) is what really did it for me on this track. Glad you didn't gave up. Btw, driving at night to get to a surfing spot, and then getting in the water early in the morning when there's no one in sight must certainly be an incredible experience. Will most probably have images of that in my mind next time I listen to this song. Keep up the great work!
Quality. Yeah first light is unbelievable on the right sunrise when the water is glass with waves rolling in, well worth it.
Excellent work on this song!! Thanks for sharing!! Much ❤️ TL!!
Thanks for the support.
Love the break from 0:40 to 0:56! Makes the bass (and other sounds) starting again at 0:56 rewarding and satisfying, same with 1:29 and 2:00. Very well done, love the track!
thanks, very happy with that breakdown, something special about it.
Ok, im a profound synthwave listener and this is so good...
Awesome thanks, you are the audience I am looking for!
Perfect music😍thanks for sharing Big Like❤❤
Thank you for the support, I hope I find a new audience. here.
Dude you are on fire! Excellent track. I love the vocals. amazing! 🔥
Thanks, they are vocaloid.
i saw your soundcloud message but couldnt reply for some reason. I might put a short 808 very quietly under a linn drum so you can hardly hear it - but when you turn it up on a big system way better. The best thing to do is to play the sound/kick snare you like in your daw and try and match it with comp and eq and the correct drum sound/drum machine - great way to learn. I started using splice for drum also as I get get an idea out with being bogged down and losing the moment - I usually go back and redo them in some way. You can also sample single percussion which i dont have huge problem with as that is what a drum machine has done anyway and I am not a drummer. I might drop a few db mid high, high cut onkick and snare to let hats through. Subtle sidechaining from the kick drum to the parts lets the kick through. I initially mix at very low volume - taken me years to discipline myself to do this! Good luck!
@@tenalock amazing, cheers!
Definitely a chillwave vibe and I love it!! I can see this being played in the Electronic Gems channel. Fantastic work!! Thanks for sharing!! Much ❤ TL!!
Thanks, good idea I should submit my music to them.
❤
Thanks for the support
Awesome! Personally, I have way more difficulties growing my channel than other social media like instagram. I have not figured out the youtube algo at all and this is despite working with the synthwave leader Turbo Knight, and also including 3 features on New Retro Wave ( 50k streams resulted in around 4 new followers on my youtube channel ). Today, Im stuck at around 350 ish followers for almost a year now….Best if luck! You deserve plus 1 M subs with your outstanding releases!

Thanks for the support and the knowledge. Hopefully it grows, will see how it goes!
This is incredible.I love it 💜
Epic, thanks.
@@tenalock I'd love to see a breakdown of the project, it's so good. I've been willing to add some vocals too myself for quite some time and I always thought this would be the way to go. Beautifully done! Keep it up 👌
There is a lot of subtle layering as in the same parts but different synths you can only just hear to give it a more intense sound. Real analog synth bass, can’t match or beat it in the digital world.
@@tenalock brilliant, thanks!
yo you made thic cause this goes so hard bruh

Thanks, not taking too much credit though, 40mins of text prompting until I got what I wanted. I really like it though!
I love Sylenth1!. 8:16 omg that sounds amazing, are you selling the soundbank or something? So far that's my favorite patch (will finish watching the video when I have time)
I listened to the rest of the presets in the video and omg. I need this soundbank, you made an amazing job capturing the "analog essence" ! 👏👏💙

@@tenalock Please do!. Is there any way to get notified when it happens? I don't want to miss it
@@starhavven I will message/ tag or add a comment here. Sylenth is the most amazing plugin synth of them all when you consider it sounds great and you rarely have to worry about running out of cpu. I ran out of cpu using 2 Roland clouds Jupiter 8s on an Apple silicon the other day, totally useless to me. Sylenth I have had 100 tracks with about 60 Sylenth running on a 7 year old i7!
@@tenalock Thanks I'd appreciate that. Honestly I don't use sylenth1 as much as I used to years ago but as you said I don't remember having had many cpu issues with it like I did with Serum for example. I look forward to start using it again, though. I'm in love now with Softube's MODEL 84 , there was a very good deal with that $39 softube's essential bundle. It sounds incredible and the presets are great.
nice!!
Thanks. Came out with a great groove.
