LFO Modulation Question Going Nuts

LFO Modulation Question Going Nuts
« on: July 17, 2024, 12:18:08 PM »
I heard this sound the other day on Tiktok and was trying to figure out how to create it on one of my hardware synths or even a software synth.   It seems to be easy but not sure if it will sound like this at the end.  It was done in FilterShaper XL by Cableguys, I am only interested in this one preset (sound).

Can this be done on my Prophet Rev2 16 voice, Oberheim TEO-5, ASM Hydrasynth (5 LFOs), Arturia VST maybe Arturia Pigments which has 3 LFOs, Serum or equivalent?  I bet it will be down to only FilterShaper XL can do this with this exact sound.

I have two links to listen to it.  The Tiktok one actually goes through the steps and sounds a little more like what I want in the sound.  The preset is called Twisted Timbre.  I will slow it down even more.  It looks like maybe three LFOs are used each modulating a source and one of them modulating the other LFO.  First LFO is to modulate the Filter cutoff then the 2nd LFO t modulate the LFO speed then a 3rd LFO to sweep the modulation amount.  Then you just play around with the speeds to seed it up or slow it down.

This is actually the synth sound on Odesza song. 

From my previous post the preset on FilterShaperXL is actually called ‘Wind Down’

Cool sound!

Maybe... take a mono LFO, set it to saw ramp down, assign it filter cutoff at max. Turn the filter cutoff all the way down.

Set the LFO to re-trigger on keypress, that way it always starts at the same place.

Then assign a spare envelope to the LFO speed. Set the decay up and the sustain at zero. That way it starts fast, then slowly decays down to whatever the speed of the LFO is. Then play around with the LFO speed, envelope decay, and env to speed depth.

The above example works well on the Take-5/TEO-5, but can map to any synth.
