I'm not really vibing with Monique so I thought I'd do an ambient drone and post early. Three instances in Live with Valhalla Supermassive. EQ8, Compressors, Limiter, Auto Pan, Auto Filter, Echo, and Delay.

I found a way to create crazy pitch bends with this despite it not having a pitch bend. You'll need a midi arpeggiator and a fast attack sound. Turn the arpeggiator on in monique and map a midi controller knob to the note / pitch knob of the first step in the arpeggiator / sequencer and then just play your keys whilst turning the dial.

https://soundcloud.com/taptapdoubletap/ ... 41-monique
DAW: Tracktion Waveform
There are:
16 17 instances of Monique
Supermassive x8
#TEqualiser x14 16
#TCompressor x1 4
#TGate/Expander x1
#TLimiter x1
#TCrusher x2
Focusrite Balancer x1
Pulsar Smasher x2 Now off limits :/
OTT x 3
Frontier x1
Snare is two layers with OTT and EQ plus a reverb bus.
Kick is a portamento down as Z suggested - it's a long, muddy note that also goes portamento up at the end to build into the snare sound.
*Crap joke starting to smell so I deleted it along with Pulsar Smasher, and added another layer to the bassline while I was at it.

*I feel like I'm reviewing a massage parlour. Why name a synth like that? Maybe it should have been called Bob.

Entirely a lame joke based on me saying I had fun with Monique, while also struggling to think of a synth with a boy's name.Spring Goose wrote: ↑Wed Nov 11, 2020 11:07 pmWhy would Monique be a masseuse?Double Tap wrote: ↑Wed Nov 11, 2020 11:02 pm

Man is least himself when he talks in the first person. Give him a mask, and he'll show you his true face

Possibly useful, regarding CPU usage : switching of all oscilloscope functions gave me a little improvement. ( Wasn't using those and totally overlooked them ) . It's now back from worse to just bad.
