Porter Robinson-Divinity Lead Effects
« on: September 06, 2016, 09:19:04 pm »
Anyone know how Porter achieved the lead in Divinity that starts off the track and is played throughout? I know that it's a preset in Kontakt (Factory Library -> Vintage -> Electronic Toys -> Handy Sound) but I'm more interested in what effects he used to get the final sound. Also I can't tell if there's a different synth that accompanies it or if it's all just the same sound (it's played during the second and fourth bars of the lead, most notably at the end of them. sounds like he took out certain notes and replaced them with a different sound). Any ideas?

Yeah the vocal chop lead that starts off the song. I know how he got the sample but I'm interested in what effects he used to get the final sound. I've tried messing with the original Kontakt sample but can't seem to figure out how he did it.

Just had a quick crack at it, forgive my shitty backing chords and getting lazy on the second half-isolating that little tom thunk from the vocal was taking too long. Wasn't too much happening really, that sample had a lot of nice harmonics that punched through really well with some distortion.

Split it into two tracks, one more mid heavy and one more hi heavy. Focused on getting a good attack out of the mid track and getting more enunciation on the hi track.

Effecting it was basically taking the same principals of producing pop vocals and just going more overboard.

Chain for mids was:

EQ-Supercharger-Driver-Ohmicide-C1 Comp-Transient Master-Imager-Harmonic Exciter

Chain for hi's:
EQ-Supercharger-Ohmicide-Imager-Exciter

I don't think I got it quite as close as you did, but I managed to get about 90% there with just stock ableton plugins - OTT, Overdrive, and good ol' EQ8.

Also just lead and chords - pretty sure i got the last two chords wrong tho.

Thank you for the advice! The layering helped a lot and so did Ohmicide. I experimented around with more effects and here's what I got.
