Has any of you succeeded in making a M1 house organ type bass sound (One step too far, show me love, etc) with one of the synth engines on the AR MKii? I’d love to hear soms tips, because I’m struggling a little due to the lack of a square.
I don’t have any AR at hand but I’ve already succeeded programming such a sound on other synths.
To me, the start point is two sine/triangle oscillators, the second one being tuned one octave + a fifth above the first one, i.e. 19 semitones above.
The volume of the second one may have to be higher than that of the first one.
You may have to filter a bit, in which case you can try the suqare waveform on on or both oscilltarors, but I’m quite confident it will land further than the organ sound you are looking for.
After that, spice up with light overdrive and reverb.
Not to advertise but you can find an example in this track (one of my rock bands) at about 40 seconds. It comes back later on, with some bigger overdrive. Not telling you the synth I’m using, take a guess
Have you tried single cycle waveforms? If I’m not mistaken there’s a bunch of organ sounds in the Adventure Kid or Kawai K1 packs.
Personally I’ve just been using a sample straight from the M1. Sounds great in genres where it’s not traditionally expected
