Could someone help me make this Dubstep synth?
I have recently been trying so so much on trying to make this exact sound. I just can't seem to be able to get it
Does anyone have a preset that sounds even remotely similar to this one?
https://youtu.be/f8vFOWutjiM?feature=shared
GO TO 0:44!!
I'm trying verry hard to make this little.. lead?.. for some time now in vital and it would be verry cool to actually get it.
Its for this reason that i would like to see if anyone has something similar to this so i can reference my recreation to it.
I have these synth VSTs (Massive, FM8 (but I'm not good with it) and of course Vital.)
Regardless, if you can make it with any other synth VSTs, I would be verry happy if you could show me with it in any case.
Thank you. - Debs330.

Acid bass-y synth in Machine Girl’s Mrk90 Mix Side B
Sound appears in this excerpt: https://youtu.be/2HPfQIV6yBQ?si=YVot2oE4IqPqHvg0 , from beginning to around 3:50. You can hear it well at 2:45 and 0:55. To me it sounds like some sort of high resonance acid sound, (square or saw wave possibly), going through a sine shaper distortion. However, I've been unable to replicate it exactly. Any ideas?

Any guide like Welsh’s Synthesizer Cookbook but for “real” materials?
I would like to recreate complex, real textures like wood, metal, glass, etc. I think using the method of reverse engineering explained in the Welsh book is a good start but it is complicated for me to get a good result. Anything similar? Thanks!

This classic rave synth sound
Trying to find the source of this sound here that's layered on that m1 organ sound:

Also Here:
https://youtu.be/suXG8qnu0FI?si=tO8mwm4RxExXJB7R&t=60
Kind of similar to the lead sound in DJ Jean:
https://youtu.be/Mu0cE9RgK5M?si=VapC_SY1W-zsJF5h&t=55
any help on if this is a m1 patch or how I could make this myself would be greatly appreciated!

This Choral Organ-like PCM Sample from Mega Man Battle Network 3.
MMBN3 Shine in the Dark Oscilloscope Deconstruction
Posting again in hopes someone might know how to recreate this. The relevant sound is the first one you hear in the video. To me it sounds like the Organ is "singing".
In particular I'm wanting to recreate this in higher fidelity in the VITAL synthesizer. But all my previous attempts have been... lackluster.
It's said it came from a Roland JV1080, but I don't have access to it's sound library.

Hi, do you know how to make sounds like the first beat? I mean glitchy, distorted. Maybe those aren't the right terms.
Thanks

She by Tyler The Creator REMIX
How could I achieve the bassy, distorted yet melodic synth beggining at 0:04? (refering to the whole synth melody) Is it a synth with distortion, or maybe two synths layered?

commonly used bounce drums (brown beats by cameron paul)
self-explanatory. i know these drums are made up of tr-808 sounds, and i have a good emulation vst for that (nepheton) but i just wanna know what kind of mixing, layering, and compression would i have to do to get this exact sound?

Tommy Mars brass
Would anyone have any idea on how to recreate the iconic brass synth sound Tommy Mars used with Frank Zappa, both in studio and live, using a VST or hardware synth? I believe the brass sound was created using an EML 101, which is a four oscillator monosynth. Besides Tommy, I have never heard another artist use such a specific, nearly realistic analog brass synth sound.
It can be heard in this live clip: https://youtu.be/76Y_qNwQMHQ?feature=shared

Drums of Death kicks?
Really obsessed with FKA Twig’s Drums of Death. I’m pretty new to synthesis in general, but I was wondering what was going on with the kick drums in it (particularly during the refrain at the beginning and again around 1:55). Any help is appreciated :)
