I was aiming for DnB type of drums and I think they are pretty dope already (;
Still a lot of work tho...maybe a little too much saturation..

Sounds really good! I've not come to making a snare yet.. ugh.. good drums with synths are like some kind of dark art.

Thanx (;
Well..It's not that bad after you spend like couple years making them

For me it's mixdown what's keeps me down.. \;
Btw is there anyone that could give me some tips on how to make a tom sound? It's funny but I've never tried making one and I'm kinda lost now.
I was trying to make some tom-ish drum earlier inside noisemaker with triangle wave FM-d by another oscilator with -24 semi down and some noise layer but...it doesn't sound like a tom to me..

(I hope that zippyshare is okay)

Sounds more like some weird hybrid drum ;__;

Oh man, I just registered for this forum to get some presets and you're telling me you're doing a competition with one of my favourite synths?! This is going to be fun. If you haven't tried it already, Noisemaker has a really nice and rich sound, I'm looking forward to some of the results

Suggestion: try tuning down a snare sound, reduce the noise. Often this ends up with good results. One other thing: toms usually don't have a very large pitch drop like some other things do.

Hey BJ and OSC gang --
Great choice for this month! I've had to take a few months off, but I'm planning to be back in on this one. Participating in the OSC is always a blast!

why u don't make the competition just pure synth with no external fx at all - it will be a lot more creative and challenging

Nah, just remove the synth too! We'd just use bodily noises. Claps, mouth, etc.

(zprime's excellent idea btw)

Reincarnate the One Synth Challenge as the "Only Synth Challenge".

Boom, even got a name for it.

Great... so no rebranding is necessary.

I know who might win the next Only Synth Challenge! (probbaly NSFW / Not safe for work): https://goo.gl/UeYLhp

Or tune up a kick drum. Decrease pitch depth. Copy that one, shorten envelope and add some noise. Pitch up 6 semitones. Layer these 2 sounds.

Edit: that's how I did it with Podolski which has only 1 oscillator. Maybe the method mentioned above can be done in a single patch with Noisemaker. Haven't spent that much time with it yet.

One Synth Challenge #88: TAL-NoiseMaker (Mac/PC) (z.prime wins!)
