Poizone Project

This project contains a total of 5 poizone synths, two of which are layered together. The drums are very straight forward, drums + reverb + EQ = drum loop. The song starts off with two synths. The simpler of the two is actually from 3xOsc, its just using one oscillator. The other is poizone, I used the trance gate, the LFO on FRQ A and the velocity tracking is all the way up, but im not so sure its doing a whole lot. The cutoff and resonance knobs are facing eachother, the PW of both oscillators is about 45%, and the unison is at 4 with a little detune. Oscillator B is tuned down a bit too. A few seconds in the 3xOsc keeps going and a two layer synths come is with this stupid little thing mean to keep it from getting TOO boring. These two synths are also very straight forward. Only oscillator A, no noise, keyboard and velocity tracking are at about 65% for both synths. The main difference between the two is cutoff and resonance. One is at 40% and 70% while the other is at half that. A little later thigns change and what your hearing is a cymbal played in reverse a couple times with some pitch change (automated). The original synths come back in here. The 3xOSc synth sounds different at parts due to cahnges in the filter settings (fruity filter). Things start to get busy again and the only snth I like here come in. Poizone again, all osc A, 100% PW, cutoff at 100, resonance at 0, no traxcking (I know, I did nothing). I played with the amplifier (fade in, resonate out) and set the LFO (destination = cutoff, very high amount, very high rate, and sine wave shape). I ran it through the stereo enhancher (one of my new favorites)and obviously the delay bank. I have a synth play a note in the background at the end, its alot like the very first poizone synth in the song, just different filter settings. I found it difficult to use the velocity tracking since one one of my riffs really utilized different velocities enough to make a noticable difference.

Poizone Project [2-15]

I have decided to scratch all the synths and such that I had been working with and just come up with new ones. There was nothing wrong with what I had, it just wasnt fitting together well. So my new synths are a bit more basic and the overall piece has a slower feel to it. This project is pretty dull in my opinion, just like all my other projects, but im just going to make some changes then put it up here. I dont have all the time in the world to really put some thought into this. Ill have it up here after next class hopefully and ill be able to describe how I made the synths then.

Poizone Project [2-06]

So far I have came up with a few synths. Three are from poizone and I have some others, I am not sure what im really going to do with any of them. I really didnt plan ahead and come up with any ideas before I started toying around with the plug-in, so the synths that i have are pretty basic. They dont take along time to fade in, the trance gate isnt used in a really complex way, little delay or any other modulations that could really limit the synths flexibility. There still is movement with each synth, just nothing that is designed to fix only one purpose. As always I had to use some effects and filters to shape the sounds a little. the poizone isnt my favorite plug-in so far but it is nice to have filters and a trance gate and delay and all that right there for you to try out. If I remember correctly I also have a single drum pattern, but that will probably not fit into whatever I decide to do with these synths (unless I decide to form everything around the drums ofcourse).
