sample
A few years ago in some kind of projectweek at school i got to work with some roland equipment, one of it being the Juno-D synth. My mate and I created a track around this sound, and now i'd really like to recreate it with software.
It's a preset on that Juno-D, so I tought i'd check the presets of all my softsynths but none come close..
Please, HOW!?
It was called "pizz saw" on the Juno-D btw

Hard to tell from your short little blip - but sounds like a pcm type sound. Check Korg M1 plugin, or SQ8L - near perfect emu of Ensoniqs ESQ/SQ-80.
That partial is so very Rolandesque that I'm certain I could nail that on my D-50, or even my TG500, or SY77, but sadly no software equiv of these exist tmk.

Well - what do you have at your disposal?
BTW - You're not gonna get this sound without something that can use a PCM or sample.

That is just a sample that's in every Roland synth since the D50. Get the sample and you have the sound. Easy as that.

Just google pizzicato sample. I'm sure you'll find something.

Not any pizzicato sample will do if you want to come close - your example had a very hard hitting quite digital sounding pizz - aka Rolandesque. If you're able to find something close, load that sample into z3ta+ and set another OSC using a sine or tri waveform an octave below it with a short attack, no sustain envelope on it. Add a bit of reverb and that should do it.

i got something close with jx220, but it sound thin and dull in comparison to the original roland juno-d sample..
in a more easy way, if anyone here's got one of those juno-d's and doesnt mind to make a samplepack from that pizz saw preset (in the way it contains a sample of every key on the keyboard), it would be a great help as well..

I have a Juno-D right next to me. I could make a soundfont if you like.Aron Tinnitus wrote:i got something close with jx220, but it sound thin and dull in comparison to the original roland juno-d sample..

Analogue or digital – which is better? There's only one way to find out... FI-I-IGHT!!!

That sounds like the famous pizz sample from the Dance expansion for the Roland JD/JV series. All hell broke loose when Faithess used it on the track "Insomnia" in terms of "OMG HOW DO I GET THAT SOUND," so I'll bet they ported it to some other synths.
To my ears it's always sounded like 2 pizz voices an octave appart with some eq, compression, and reverb. The only way anyone will ever know is to ask the original sound designer.

I haven't sampled every key, I don't have that sort of time but it should be reasonable quality.
