Sound design walk-through wanted
Posted: Sat Dec 27, 2014 4:22 pm
Hi,
I have my Solaris since late September and I have been playing around with the presets and the sound banks made by all you people. Love it!
However, this has not only impressed me with the instrument's capabilities but also made me want to play around myself. The manual is a bit compact, to say the least, and what I find I lack is a guided walk through as to how to approach this beast.
My problem is, as with most people these days, a lack of patienceā¦ I have been browsing the manual and playing around with the settings, starting with the INIT patch, but it mostly leads to disaster. With a more traditional synth (like monophonic analogue ones) I think I know my way but the sheer amount of modulation possibilities and the staggering amount of parameters makes me feel like Atlas with a world on my shoulders.
So, what would be nice would be, either in written or in Youtube form, a sort of guide from an INIT patch to something usable, preferably several similar approaches one for each general category of patch: pad, lead, string, bells, FX, you name it.
Anyone feel that they would like to write such guide? I would imagine that something like that would easily find its way into the manual as an addendum, or what do you say John?
Am I barking up the wrong tree here? Are there resources I have missed? I would very much like to be wrong and would happily stand corrected, as long as I get some way to start creating sounds. I mean, it cannot be fair to leave all the fun to some chaps, can it? I would really like to pitch in here, only I just can not find my way into the machineā¦
Cheers mates!
