6. Modulate the noise generator as follows:
Cut parameter: Choose Max as modulation source, then set the modulation control
as shown below.
Dirt parameter: Choose LFO2 as modulation source, then set the modulation control
as shown below.
The sound is now nothing like an 808 snare, which was your goal. Keep experimenting with
velocity and figure out when it makes sense to use it as a direct or indirect modulation
source, in either its positive or negative form.
Recreate the Kraftwerk snare sound
Another classic electronic snare drum sound is the highly resonant lowpass filter of an
analog synthesizer that quickly closes with a snap. This sound was used extensively by
Kraftwerk.
1. In Logic Pro, select the Snare 1 sound.
2. Direct the signals of both oscillators and the noise generator to the main filter.
3. Modulate Cutoff with Env1 (which is already modulating the volume of the noise
generator).
4. Modulate the filter resonance with Env2.
5. Experiment with the parameters mentioned in steps 2 to 4 (especially the envelopes),
introduce EQ into the sound, and discover how much “playing room” these basic
settings allow you.
Note: An exemplary sound is listed as “snare 5-KW” in the Tutorial Kit, at a pitch of G#1.
Analyze this sound, and compare it to your own creation.
