I suggest this:

pitch mod >>> osc 4 to filter <<< filter lfo: shape=osc 4

crazy things happen if you find the right values for those three sections

Would it be possible to post some patches illustrating your discovery?

ok, here they are 5 presets (.fxp files) for Pentagon 1,
which shows some possibilities of that modulation

interesting?

Wow!
That's some great stuff. VERY inspiring... If you make any more... share!

ligih,

thanx for the patches ... will try them tonight.

Have you any idea how I could go about getting an orchestral hit kind of sound out of P1 ... well, even just a hit, even if not orchestra?

ta!

thanx brittnell!

kevvvv:
an orchestral hit kind of sound it's a challenge in P1!
take a pcm sample and load it as user wave (!)

anyway I tried some "hit solution" in P1,
I will post some patches

now you can try this template:

-OSC 1 2 3 4:

shape
1 pulse 25 (or 50)
2 pulse 6
3 harmonics 5/2
4 pulse 12

octave
1 -1
2 +2
3 0 (or -1)
4 +4

1..2 fm + detune
3..4 add at fifth interval


-no filter, or little resonance at almost no cutoff

-amp evn : short decay and short release, 0 all the other

-chorus stereo+ short delay with some more feedback + eq


As the classic "hit" is a kind of additive synthesis which fill alsmost all the frequency range,
I tried fill the range of frequency with dense fm of osc 1 and 2
+ other harmonics from osc 3 and very high tone from osc 4.

delay and eq help a lot.

liqih,

I spent a while last night trying to construct a hit from the info you supplied.

No ... I didn't get the sound I was looking for. As you say, a pcm sample is the way to solve this. But I learned an awful lot about what makes a "hit". V useful, so thanx.

btw I liked the unusual patches. Don't stop sending them.
