Then you read the manual and somehow it goes on and on. There are also synthesizers where you think, Oh man - if I can do this, it's hard. Or it lacks some magic in the sound but you do not get it, there you sit sometimes several hours, until he sounds perfect. There are also sounds that you almost despair of, because it always jumps over 1 dB. The magic is actually that you screw around and think about which knob does what and then suddenly it's there, the sound you were looking for - yes that's how it should sound, so you know then at some point the sound is O.K., I save it. Every synthesizer is different and you have to get involved with it for 2 or 3 days before you know how it works and sounds. Art can mean that you don't know beforehand what will come out, that's the exciting part. I make music so why and am creative and if others like it, then I'm very happy. Since my website and the fileshare is free, I have no costs. I moved then, after giving up PatchArena, to Magix where I have 500 MB free. I first posted on PatchArena (which no longer exists) and then it became more and more, new synthesizers and I really wanted to be creative and learn something quasi a challenge. Since I wanted to give something back to society, I decided to offer everything for free. Instead of standing in the kitchen for 9 hours plus going there and back, I turned the knobs between 6 - 9 hours a day. Actually, sound shaping is the replacement for my former work. I did not like the factory presets of the synthesizers and I learned as an autodidact the synthesis. The PC's became faster and the virtual software synthesizers better and better. For a long time I have been unable to work. At that time I worked as a trained cook in shifts. I make a tape - however, the quality is poor. I was recording video samples and playing a little synthesizer to it. We also had a few pieces, but dsas joint music project and fell asleep. I bought aYamaha - MT 50 Multitracker Cassette Recorder and we recorded various things. We shared a practice room with several bands and played just for fun. I've been playing acoustic guitar since 1982 and later electric guitar in 1999.

Of course it is nice if you know how to build a lead sound, bass sound, FX sounds, pad sound, sequences and arps. I wouldn't copy anything either, but experiment until you have created something that you enjoy and that represents added value. Since you have talent, we want to encourage your talent. Copying from others is just copying, you want new musicians to develop their own personality. Do your own things and explore new sounds like in a sound lab. If you need a guitar sound, take a guitar sample (WAV). The best thing to do is to work through the manuals of the respective virtual synthesizers. You need a sound knowledge of the respective synthesizers. I have been making presets for synthesizers for 11 years, I have created 200 soundbanks forġ10 different synthesizers, 104 virtual synthesizers and 6 hardware synthesizers.įreeware Soundsets for Software and Hardware Synthesizer Ģ months of learning is not enough, you need more practice, from 1-2 years of playing, you will progress, so that you understand and hear what the oscillators, filters, envelopes, effects do exactly and how you create your own sounds.
