Now I know several SD's have not posted here: Daniel, the main sound designer for Big Tick's Rhino..and heck..Big Tick himself!

Also: Teksonic, who has created wonderful stuff for a lot of FM synths and WusikStation and more..( but would like to know more)!

How about Scott Solida?

Com'on SD's...show yourselves!!

I remember some old Keyboard magazines where they would have pages of PATCHES for synths.

I also worked with some samples for my first Internet work called X-Samples, sold via KAGI.COM - latter I started daReaktorion, the first site to sell Reaktor ensembles.

5. Preffered synthesis methode

none really, it is more dependend on the synth,
if I get a feeling for the synth
and foremost it's sound,
then I get a feeling for the synthesis methode it uses


6. comments

I'm interested in finding sounds that are a bit ... ahhm ... different, and not the next supersaw-lead.
Sometimes I like more the digital side or noisy,
but I also like to find the soothing warm qualities of a synth, if he/she got it.

Great job all here! Many inspiring sounds, and thanks for the oppertunity to learn from you.


7.richardlichten@yahoo.de

Heya.

1. Name
Ronny 'rp' Pries


2. What synths you have worked on.
Hardware: Roland JD-800, Oberheim Matrix 1000, DX7, Wasp, Nordlead, Virus, the usual suspects i bet.

Software:
Absynth, Albino, WNA Additive, FM7, Pro-53, Reaktor, Atmosphere, Ultrafocus, ImpOSCar, Oddity, FR Viruz-II, Invader, Filterscape... too many to list. i started using software synths in the 90s when the first realtime synths for ms-dos appeared.


3. What developers you have worked for
I've been testdriving N.I. Products since Reaktor 2 and took part in shaping the sound of AudioRealism Bass Line. Other than that the synth we (Farbrausch) use in our 64k intros, which is also available as VSTi, features the presets i used in FR-019:poem.to.a.horse.


4. References
You can find a few banks of mine over at patcharena.com (i.e. for FM7, WNA Additive & Triangle II). The presets of Smartelectronix' Ambience marked with 'rp' are also mine (not to be confused with Mr. Papen ) Otherwise www.ronnypries.de works as well.


5. Preffered synthesis method (if any)
I can't get my hands off FM synths and the 303.


6. Any other comments about your work you would like to present.

I'm working as musician & sound designer for computer games. Due to my spare time activities (beeing a dj/musician, running 2 net/labels, part of a demogroup... and last not least a family man) i don't have too much room for making preset banks at the moment. However, that's something i'd like to extend, so i'm waiting for orders

7.Contact info
You can contact me via KVR or use the contact form on my website http://www.ronnypries.de

You will find me all over the Presets for the various VAZ synths.. and of course all the presets I do for my own stuff

Hi Ian
Just noticing these with my recent purchase of VAZ 2010. Keep up the good work!

Any more entriants?? I hope Ben makes this a sticky as theres a lot of great resources here. Some of these I never heard of and deserve to be recongized.However I am sure there is more!

so..KEEP'EM COMING!!

well..

try to avoid career definition.. you got my planet, you aint gettin yer nasty fingers on my lovely squooshy brain

like more hominids i have a capacity for whatever i set myself to..

clavia use a track to demo the n1, cant remember if they host patches.. so "sounddesigner.." :p

i got rent to pay, but..

known for my efforts to popularise divers synthesis engines, i'm more likely to attract s.d.s than get paid for being one, sooo....

sound designers:

i don't pay for shit. i have a fairly high visibility on kvr, prolly not much beyond.. but what's that ;D

my synths are usually 'special application,' and given my attitude of development as cultural labour, i'm not always enthused about the 'churn out presets' part of the job -

which brings me to -

the same place dozens of other se devs are - we got some weird project, no recompense beyond whatever reputation to be gleaned.. and so not much chutzpah to aggressively secure your services. "hey.. i'll send you an emoticon if you do it for me..."

here's an idea, prolly just making it too complex (t)ho -

how about an sd mailing list (or site?) where devs can post requests.. perhaps 'specialised' energy of list.. cos it seems like posts requesting patchers aren't so acknowledged?? :p

"thinking about money destroyed my thoughts"

OK Tim...

1) Eric or ew
2) Hardware I've owned: ARP 2600; Casio CZ-1, CZ-101 and VZ-1; Chroma Polaris; E-mu EMAX and EMAX II;Ensoniq VFX-SD; Kawai K1, K3, K4 and K5; Korg Polysix, DW-8000 and Wavestation A/D, Oberheim Two-Voice, Four-Voice, OB-a, and Matrix-6, Roland Juno-60, Juno-106, MKS-50 (alphaJuno rack), MKS-100 (probably the worst sampler ever invented ) and SH-101; Sequential Pro-One, Split-8 and Six-Trak; Waldorf microQ; Yamaha CS-15, CS-40, CS-60, DX7, TX81Z and V50. I spent lots
of time in the mid-late '70s programming an ARP 2500 and an E-mu modular for a studio in town as well.
Software: too much to think of at the moment
I've released banks for Tera2, WNAdditive and for Metaphysical Function as well as my own Reaktor stuff.
3) NI, White Noise, ConcreteFX, Wusik, Manystation and Wave Arts. I also did the revision for OhmForce that's become the current Symptohm : Melohman manual.
4) My website has a lot of my Reaktor creations. You'll find me here a lot , and I'm also an NI forum moderator.
5) any and all I do have to admit I've been going on a vector synthesis kick at the moment between testing Vectrik and rediscovering Xphraze.
6) the best is yet to come
7) you can PM me here, or use the mailto link on my website, or through the NI forums.
ew

The only patches I have officially submitted to anything are a few Filterscape/VA presets, another few Kontakt 2 patches (only one of them actually made it into the library as I was rather late...) and various EXS24 patches.
Oh, and I converted and adjusted a few patches for the Hollowsun CDs.
Doesn't make me a sound designer I think, so I won't answer things point by point.
But heck, what do you expect from a guitar player?

well..I'm a guitar player However I think any contributions can be substantial.

any more SD takers here?

hehe ive been asked to add my name here
not sure why to be honest i think tim has named more presets after me than i have made
people ive worked with preset wise so far include manytone,ian webster xoxos and a few other free synths.

not sure if anyone might want to get in touch but pm here if you do
as for preffered methods of synthesis - the noisy ones
