(Please excuse me if this has already been talked about, did a google search but didn’t spot any threads started after the 1.30 update).
Just wondering what tips people have for using the new machines to make acid lines?
Planning to spend next few days exploring this, and have been really happy with (pre 1.30 update) acid lines I’ve made on Rytm - ,now that i have some free time since the update, looking forward to getting stuck in with the new machines.
BD Sharp is great for acidy synthesis. I think it sounds best with the sawtooth or ‘sinetooth’ waveforms. Turn SWD and TIC all the way down, DEC all the way up (maybe mess with hold? I can’t recall off the top of my head), and then start playing with the filter cutoff and filter envelope to taste. I wouldn’t compare it to a 303, but it can get squelchy in its own right. The AR slide doesn’t come near the feel of a 303 though.
But if you need those sounds that seems broken, sound hard, and classic musical slides, then nothing like a x0x with some distortion (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnnB8oP_rbM) <- I did that one long time ago
