What Synth Will Give Me Acid Leads????

[Kriminal]

yup i need a synth that give me some different variations of acid lines. i def need a good mockery of a 303. i also would like a very good bass synth for trance music sounding similiar to those of loops from zero-g. i need a kick ass lead synth preferrebly directed in a trance techno direction.


cost is no object for me right now (maybe 2 months later but oh well ) so give me the best of each catagory. don't need pads i have atmosphere for that

May i interject that the original 303 was the lamest piece of crap that was redeemed by the processing that users applied to it (rather like a 909 was straight out of the box), maybe following a little bit of that experimentation spirit would yield some inspiration and dare i say it, some individuality, unless all your questing for is music by numbers?

I'd pretty much agree with that which is why I mentioned Odo's SeeqOne - it does acid with gusto but doesn't try to be a 303 emulator in the process.
It's capable of some downrigth dirt and grit I might add and is a solid piece of freeware.
I'd take it over AudioRealism's Bassline etc etc any day purely for the fact that it has a character all of its own - and an unusually punchy in yer face sound for an VSTi of this nature.
I always prefered an Electribe EA-1 through an Electrix filterbank to a 303 myself also but hey each to their own I guess.

well i play around with v-station alot and i have learned quite a few things with music but not enough to keep progressing in electronic music......

If you have v-station then experiment with single saw and square waves. Tweak especially filters cutoff and reso. Automate sweeps. Drive it through distortion and you should have some acid.

Exactly, especially since most of the classic "acid" style early stuff that set the trend wasn't 303 at all and was more likely Mc202

just about any analog-style synth can do that sound. after all the 303 was a tinny little cheapie box.

what was that old song with that acidddddddddd (very high vioce sound ? it was very vast and very old
Odo.

Any decent analog + Simulanalog Guitar suite (specifically, tube screamer). Crazy good distortion.

[odo]

i used a hardware novation bass-station and a guitar effect thing with distortion wah wah ect.
i know crazy but it worked very well
BTW novation has very good filters
and the hardware version is much better that the soft
OdO.

[mojogigolo]

better question - which synth is INCAPABLE of doing acid? few Id imagine, puritanism aside.
