Ninth Parallel Infinitum Pluck
« on: April 07, 2016, 01:57:04 am »
I'm sure that this topic has come up a countless number of times, but I was wondering how others have been going about trying to remake the bit crushed pluck sound in Infinitum.
I know most people use Sylenth, and that's what was actually used for the pluck, but I was wondering I guess how I should go about improving my attempt so far I did in GMS.

Got a lot of people asking about this sound, I don't want to spoil the fun but I can give a few pointers after listening to your attempt:

Decimate distortion played a large part in making the sound sound the way it does - so be careful about what kind of bitcrush/distortion you use. I used Sylenth's built in decimate distortion.

Make sure your filter envelope lets the sound breath a little more, yours sounds a little too quick on the decay - also use lots of voices! lots and lots of voices

Really digging that live setup, Ninth! Is the launchpad just for clips, or do you play in any of your beats live?

If it was made in sylenth, you can probably make it in almost any other synth out there. Start messing around with saw and squares in various states of unison and detune put under a low pass filter with an LFO swinging the cutoff down at a 16th note rate (though it's not exactly the same rate; maybe a Hz value?), and i'm fairly certain that's the Ableton Redux bitcrusher on top put through a send?
