Post your filter sweeps

Wht synth is this, sounds great!
Let me quess, peak?

Let’s revive this thread, I recorded this last night just for you folks.
Let’s see if anyone can guess what synth this is, totally dry, no effects. I noodle around with my left hand while the right adjusts resonance and cutoff point. Get to guessing!

Please watch your ears, should be a given in this thread specifically.

I’ll post the guesses below and I’ll comment on them all after a few are posted.

@Kernad - Korg MS-20

@johnl - Korg Monotribe

@spazzickagent - Korg Volca Bass

@johnl - Korg Volca Keys FTW

MS-20?? I don’t know I’ve never had one but I’ve listened to a lot of music in which it’s used.

(I’ve used the mobile phone speaker tho)

Love this thread idea. Will do some sweeps of my Pulse 2 when I get a chance. Someone post some Boomstar filter sweeps!

If you love it, take a guess at mine! It’s a great thread idea, surprised it hasn’t gotten more traction.

I’ve recorded more to post but I want to see if anyone can figure my first one out first! I’ll give a hint, it’s a synth that MANY of you have owned, and many of you have sold…

John you and Kernad are both on the right track, it is a Korg… and a compact one at that, so you’re the closest so far John… one more guess and I’ll spill the beans.

John PM’d me with the winner! It was the Keys, set to Unison mode with detune up about 5%. You win the big prize dude, I’ll post another sweep tomorrow. Someone else post one up for the guessing game!

Hello…Hello…hello…is…is…any.anyone.one out.tuo there?..

the silence engulfs you… … . . . … … … pressing down on your whole being, almost cradling you like a mother presses her child against her boosom, safe. All you can feel is the blood in your body attempting to escape… into a frenzy, a dog locked in a cage that he has no familiarity with, seeking answers but no one to ask.Who would hear you? your own brain isn’t even listening… its attempting to reason with it’s self, like tasting your own tongue. presume someone or something saved you… would you have worry about what this other dimensional would bring you to? Dust…vapor…a gelatinous blob?

Transmission terminated epic synth sounds
