It's a rough time to do this politically, but it's the most significant thing holding me from sharing with you all. Music is my biggest passion, and I am clearly not alone. I am excited to carry on unearthing what moves us as humans. "A nice blend of prediction and surprise seems to be at the heart of the best art." - Wendy Carlos

    Can you identify which sounds from pretty hate machine are the minimoog? Because I don't know that much of phm used the minimoog based on the sounds I hear and the other instruments he said he had access to.

    Thank you for your Synth Breakdown videos! They all translate very well into the EURORACK/Modular world which I am looking for any edge in sound design. Keep up the good work. SIDENOTE - Da Funk might be fun!

    I think there might be a hint of vibrato at the end of some of the notes, maybe on 1 osc.

  • @stolearm2087
    @stolearm2087 Před 10 měsíci

    Good try, but not that close. You must understand that it's not bitcrush, normally, it's aliasing. and the frequencies varies according to the pitch of each note whereas here, it's a static frequency independant of the keytrack. And secondly, I've read somewhere that Trent used a timestretched woodblock sound to make the sample of this melodyn probably with the Emax, or at least, resampled with the Emax. Try it with different kind of woodblock or even cowbell sound ... It's works really well and it's pretty close, and has this atonal / out of tune feeling. And even compare to the song tuning, this sample, in the album is slightly out of tune. They tuned it for some post 2000's shows, which I dislike, I prefer the original character of the first versions. and; at last, the melody is not the right one (but eventually, you can do what you prefer or like) Otherwise, I can say, but maybe you know, that a lot of the strange or gitty synths in Pretty Hate Machine are mostly Prophet VS or other stuff or synths resampled in the Emax and mangled or pitched.

    Hello, how do you automate the resonance with the midi keys? I am using the analog synth in ableton. Does this need an external midi device to work or will it work on drawn out midi too?

    • @PhotonVideos
      @PhotonVideos Před 11 měsíci

      Analog > Filter Panel > Freq Mod > Key I set this number to 1 from its default of 0. This is how the Analog synth modulates the filter position based on notation input. Performed or drawn. No midi keyboard required.

    Thank you so much for all of the NIN synth breakdowns! You've really helped me pick out some of the sounds i reeeeally wanted to recreate, I couldn't have done it without you! I would absolutely LOVE to see more NIN synth breakdowns, along with other breakdowns aswell! Completely different sound of music but you should consider a daft punk synth breakdown or something similar! You don't see enough of that anymore lol!! Keep up the amazing work!💜
