Vintage Synth Explorer Forums

hi can anyone identify the synth in this song.It starts at 12 sec,the notes are fairly high and it has glide on.The song is called revolt at 22h10.Link http://www.myspace.com/2emedanger

Hard to tell with the bit reduction going on. It could be almost any synth, but it has a D-50 like quality to me.

I know in live sets Danger uses Ableton Live, so it might be the built in synth.. but that's just a guess

ok thanks.

It sounds very much like something out of an older Amiga MOD file (or the more modern PC equivalent - S3M and XM).

See http://paul.chattaway.com/clacomp/mods/ ... E.S3M.html - you'll hear similar sounds there. This was made with a tracker which is basically a combined sequencer-sampler - so see if you can use FastTracker II to open this file (or any other file - they're chock-full with 8-bit samples that aren't always looped well).

You can't open the sample files (.xi) with a wave editor, but you can play a long, sustained note (and nothing else), find out where it loops and use that as source material. It's a very roundabout way of doing things, but it works better than applying a bitcrusher after a more "pure" signal.
