Trying to recreate resonant sounds ala Daniel Avery

have to try. I love this sound.
I have a feeling it was done with an SH101

I love the album and have looked this up before. Many people were saying he’s using an SH-101. From watching lots of interviews with different techno artists, this isn’t surprising at all. The SH-101 is super popular for those type of sounds. Though I know that’s not your question haha

Not exactly the same but I had interesting results disabling pitch keytracking, adding filter 2 keytrack with LP2. Tune the root Frequency with Keytrack = 32. Choose high Res values depending on a quite low osc level. Play notes for harmonics.

Key seems to be A#, or Osc Tun = - 6 with KEY off.

I tried with Filter 1 but it is not well calibrated. I’m hesitating to do a calibration.

Nice. I’ll try

Well, others have explained the basics, but listening to the example, I think there is a bit of reverb on the sound that accentuates the resonance. So if you get kinda close but not quite there try that.

I tried to imitate intro part I looped in Octatrack.
First is original, then it’s A4 (100% at 25"), darker kick, more reverb, decay tweak, then back to original

I did A4 Calibration ! So now my filter 1 keytrack works too at 32. :smiley:

I used F1 and F2 with Freq = 62 and Key = 32 for both.
Res 1 = 76, Res 2 = 113

Keytrack disabled for Osc, Tune = -18, Fine = 25
Notes plocking for filters harmonics

120 BPM.

Wow. Thank you. Really close!

F1 with or without resonance boost?
F2 in LP?

Very nice! Huge fan of Avery. This thread has made me want an A4.

I left resonance boost / drift but less Res 1 can be better. Try different Res 1 / Res 2 settings. Filters have to be correctly calibrated.
F2 LP2. Try Peak too.

In the original loop the sound is almost like an electric guitar sample / filtered. :thinking:
All filtered parts seem sampled and looped apparently. I don’t know if filters are played live or sequenced.

I tested arp and f1+f2 macro control in addition and you can have ineresting results ! I set macro to bipolar and depth = 29 in order to have +12 = 1 octave up, by ear.

Never calibrated mine. Have to look if it tracks well

@sezare56 nailed it, maybe a A4 was used by Daniel Avery or maybe @sezare56 IS Daniel Avery :thinking:

btw, I learned last week that even Daniel Avery doesn’t write his own music, he has a ghostwriter :frowning:

:smile:
As I sampled Avery’s song in OT it helped me to find “correct” harmonic notes for that 2 bars part, but it was not easy. Dotted. Definitely not the original filters and Osc / sample.

If you listen carefully, it doesn’t sound the same. Hopefully it matched keytrack because I tuned root note filters by ear. Can’t say it would work for any A4/AK without correct calibration I don’t regret.

Manual says Don’t do Calibration without Elektron advice.
Done without regrets.

Where did you learn this?
I read similar rumours. Somebody said roman flügel was a ghostwriter on this record

Edit: A guy called ghost culture is credited as co producer on both avery albums

Doable on filter 1 if it is not too resonant.

insider info. apparently Ghost Culture wrote his last album
edit: just read your edit and yes you called it right haha
