Lately I've been trying to achieve this particular high pitched sound with many different methods but none of them did the job. Best, [This message has been edited by TazioSchiesari (edited 10 June 2013).] [This message has been edited by TazioSchiesari (edited 27 June 2013).] IP: Logged | |

But it's so much fun to speculate on how to achieve a particular sound!  To me, it sounds like it could be a mix of two processes: the buzzy portion could be the result of a delay or HarmonicResonator with a very short delay or frequency. Or it might be several modules (delays, oscillators, or others) combined in a Replicator with tiny frequency deviations between the voices (~0.01 hz). The fluttery part sounds like it could be a drum sample being scratched. For example, if you look in Kyma Sound Library / Wiimote: 1WiimoteAttitude Angles.kym / Yaw scratching, you could replace the sample in there with a drum hit or a short drum loop and experiment with scratching it. On the other hand, there could be any number of OTHER ways to make this sound! Anyone else have some other suggestions to try?

My Suggestion. 1. Synthesise FM and Wavetable hits, whizzes and whooshes (I tried to attach some audio examples, would love to be able to upload a little more than 500k and if .mp3 could be allowed as a file type would be fab) Thanks Charlie IP: Logged | |

@SSC I know speculation is fun it was just to avoid random answers and it worked I tried what you suggested, I got close but not there, maybe due to lack of experience with Kyma! Did you achieve it? @ CharlieNorton [This message has been edited by TazioSchiesari (edited 10 June 2013).] IP: Logged | |

Hi Tazio "@SSC I know speculation is fun it was just to avoid random answers and it worked" Well it certainly did work. I thought of many different ways I could try to achieve it, but none of them would be fact so I didn't bother. Anyway I'd love to hear how you got on, and BTW welcome to KYMA Pete IP: Logged | |

I'm sorry that line is generating confusion... I really just wanted to get well thought ideas on how to achieve that kind of sound. I'll take it away! Pete please feel free to share your thoughts on it! They will be more than welcome! Tazio IP: Logged | |

And one of the side-effects of speculation: you can sometimes end up with a totally unexpected result and discover that you like it even better than the one you had set out to achieve! IP: Logged | |

and in any case speculating with this wonderful bunch of people is certainly fun!!!!! i haven t given it a try but there is a link that might help... as you ve mentioned already this is a kind of a trendy sound this days....the link is from a talented sound designer JedSound, from which you could have probably gotten the sound from.... listen to the soundcloud examples and see the photos he has posted....they are all done in Kyma.... http://jedsound.com/blog/?p=18#more-18 so i would say a fair experimentation with a bunch of flanging, delays, echos, modulations (all that plus the original sound mixed would get you close). taking it even further vocoding the mix as well (maybe with a little delay and certainly lots of filters in the vocoding module, sorry i dont t have kyma in front of me to b more specific) would add a little more brightness.... in any case check the photos since they are going to be your best guide... you could use an lfo to multiply the mix or a part of it (controlling it in real time would give you nice gestures)... mixing an original sample with an analysed version of it would smudge a little bit the frequencies and would take the sample a little further away from the source.... you could try all this in a module or using lots of modules and mixing them later.... both would work...

Although this is not that exact sound - here is an interesting video showing some similar sound design from Amon Tobin. http://www.amontobin.com/galleries/videos/making-sounds-isam IP: Logged | |

I hit him up but I know he is a very busy guy even if he often willing to share! Thanks Jeff I love Amon Tobin but I don't think there is any trace of that sound in the video you posted, but if you are referring to his album ISAM I agree he used it!
Ps the sample I uploaded come kind of close but again... not enough [This message has been edited by TazioSchiesari (edited 23 June 2013).] IP: Logged |
