Creating a Hard-Sync Lead
Adding Effects to the Lead
You can enhance the sync lead by adding some delay and reverb.
To add effects:
1. In the effects section, press the effect 1 button.
2. Turn the effect type knob and select delay stereo.
3. Set mix to 30, then set parameter 1 (time) to 135, parameter 2 (feed-
back) to 20, and parameter 3 (lpf) to 100.
4. In the effects section, press the effect 2 button.
5. Turn the effect type knob and select super plate.
6. Set mix to 30, then set parameter 1 (time) to 100, parameter 2 (tone) to
138, and parameter 3 (predelay) to 12.
7. Play some notes. Perfect hard-sync lead!
A Final Word
The examples given in this chapter are fairly basic, but they give you
some idea of the power of synthesis. Imagine what you can create by
using these as starting points, then modulating the lters, oscillators, and
even effects with LFOs, Auxiliary Envelopes, the Sequencer, and other
modulation sources.
It’s often useful to start with a simple sound and make it progressively
more complex, saving edited versions as you go so that you can retrace
your steps and branch off at different points in the sound design process
if you want.
We wish you many enjoyable hours of experimentation!
