Poizone ADSR Update #2

After playing around with this remix for a bit, my two synths have essentially changed rolls. The synth that I thought would be my lower pitched bass (the synth first described below) has had its attack value lowered to around 25% and its sustain raised to around 75% and has become a high pitched, almost floating loop. The changes in its ADSR values really bring out the synth's violin like quality. The synth that I thought was going to be my lead (the 2nd synth described below) has been left at its same ADSR vaules but has had a slight chorus added to it and has become a lower pitched semi-rapid bassline. I'm still experimenting with a third synth for a clear lead and, after hearding my remix, would like some suggestions as to what direction I should steer my remix next. Here is what I have so far:

Starting Poizone 2: ADSR

For our next Poizone project we need to use the ADSR controls in our new poizone. At this point in time I have two synths. The first is a low bass style synth. I have the attack, decay, and release set at about 50%. The sustain is close to 100%. These settings make the synth not instantly being at its full sound, thus giving it an almost violin appeal. The second synth is a higher pitched synth with a little bit less of a "grumble" to it. The attack, release, and decay are set fairly low, with the decay set fairly high, having the synth leave a type of echo behind it. Im currently working on a third synth that will probably be a breakdown synth. I will continue to work on this over the vacation and have another update within a weeks time.

Poizone Remix is Here!

After a few days of work, my poizone remix is complete. Starting it off with the idea of only using 1 or 2 synths, I finished having four different sounding synths and four different patterns. However, I kept all of these synths revolved around poizone with the aspiration of making 4 distinct sounding poizone syths. In terms of complexity, the synths ranged from the lead (which 1 would almost call a bass) was the most complex, to 3 lesser complex basslines. I chose not to put any filters or go crazy with the effects on this one.After the poizone aspect of this peice there were just a few smaller drum loops. I enjoyed its simple sounding synths but semi complex rhythm. After the poizone aspect of this peice there were just a few smaller drum loops. Enjoy!

Starting Poizone Project

This week we have begun our poizone projects. So far mine has one basic synth pattern along with a simple drum loop. I have two different synth sounds in the making, however, my second synth is lacking a pattern as I am still debating as which will take the lead and which will fall back to become my bassline. I plan on using other channels, Sytrus mainly, along with my poizone synths to make it into a nice sounding semi-complex piece. Im also considering throwing in a noise envelope in the beggining for an added effect. As for now, nothing is official, and much more work needs to be done befor this project is ready.
