You only need a Saw wave and a filter - Ep 07

Подробнее о видео

Hello internet,
⭕When I first got my Virus A and wanted to make big, old-school pads (using only saw waves and low-pass filters) with it, I was rarely satisfied with the sound. The issue didn’t come from the synthesizer itself, I was expecting it to behave like a vintage analog synthesizer, when it is not.
However, as it was my only synthesizer, I couldn't help but dig deeper to find a solution to my problem, and oh boy... what I found.

➡️ I’ll be using Arturia’s Pigments for the demonstration, but you can use Serum, Vital, or even better, the Virus (or any of its emulators like Osirus or Viper).

🟢 The whole trick lies in combining a couple of filters in series. The first is a notch filter, and the second is a low-pass filter. The cutoff of the notch should be offset from the low-pass and set some semitones behind it (to taste). Since we’re not allowed to use a couple of filters in Pigments, we’ll be using the Matrix12 Notch filter, which is essentially a combination of two filters: a notch and a low-pass.

For the modulation, I used a simple long attack and long release envelope for the amp. I did the same for the filter cutoff but added a long decay, turned down the sustain a bit, and modulated it with a slow-rate sine LFO.

✅ To finish up the sound, I used Pigments' shimmer reverb.
