Recreating something possible in that U-He synth with another U-He synth

[nilhartman]

Hey,

I often (try to) reproduce things done with one of my synths with another one. I often succeed... and I often fail, ah!

So I thought that such a topic could be pretty useful to several of us, to ask if something similar is doable, and if so, how?

--

For exemple, I've been trying to replicate, using Bazille, the way a VCO's waveforms combine in Diva when using the Dual VCO (for example a saw and a Pwm)... but can't get anything similar enough. Any tips?

Yes, this is a good exercise.

Bazille has 4 OSCs, so you can combine like you want?

Can you name a Diva patch which you are try'ng to clone on the Bazille?

My own patch I'm afraid It's a monophonic legato lead, with some glide, LPF (and Env2, with some sustain) modulated by Velocity so that the Cascade 24db/octave LPF opens up and down depending on how I play the melody. Both EGs are quite snappy, with a nice dose of release. That's the kind of sounds I love to send into a copious amount of reverb. The tone/timbre sounds quite close to what you can get with an SH101 or a MC202 (I've always loved these kinds of sounds).
Basically, load the Dual VCO component, it's all about the way two shapes of a single VCO combine / interact: do they add up? Do they multiply? What do they modulate and how?

Semi offtopic, but i was thinking about recreating AZ Dawn from Bazille into Serum, mostly as a sound design excersize and getting to know Serum more.. I already brought the patch over to BeatZille, allthough i don't need it since I now have Bazille.

I do this a lot

70% success, 30% fail.

It's a good exercise to really see what are the differences between the synths.

[nilhartman]

It's always insightful. I think I now know Diva like the back of my hand, and can get intuitively to pretty much most sounds I want with her. But eh you know how it goes: you know / understand everything... until you don't
Here it's more about "going way further" with a given sound than anything else really.
Bazille is a whole different beast, I'm more and more hmm fluent with it and love it to bits. Sometimes I just wish I could load Diva's components (OSC/filters) in it though. That'd certainly be my desert island synth... along Zebra 3 ^^

They add / mix up.

Should be possible. Basically it's 2 saws, panned hard L/R, 24 db LP, some sequencing and delay.

I could try in Massive (my recently bought synth)...
