If you're fortunate enough to be using FL Studio (

), there used to be a demo song called 'Hooverlicious' or something. The author had used the free 3XOsc plugin to make the sound and from what I remember it was a big sound.

The notes on the file said something like "3XOsc can't do everything for you, but it can do the hoovering" - class.

Cool thanks for the tuning tips, guys. Ive made some not-so-bad hoover sounds with simsynth live, synth 1, and a WEIRD hooverish sound from Odo's "dreamer".

Cool, I'm glad you got a Hoover sound out of Synth1. Try this with synth1 also. Create 2 instances of Synth1, both synths with Saw waves on both OSC1 & 2 and turn the "Mix" knob all the way to the right, turn the "Track" button ON and set both the "Pitch" & "Fine" knobs at 0, then detune one synth about -25 and detune the other one about +25, so it creates a nice PHAT detuned saw sound when both instances of Synth1 are playing together.

On both of the synths, turn the "m.env" (Mod Envelope) button ON and change the settings to 50 for the Attack knob, 100 for the Decay knob, and +10 for the Amount knob. For both instances, you also want to change the "Play Mode" to "legato" and turn the "unison" button ON to add even more Phatness. Actually everything on both instances should be the same except the "tune" settings should be opposite like I mentioned earlier. Now this sounds more like a phat hoover compared to what I told you before.

Here's a hoover patch for ConcreteFX's Rock (freeware):

in the vein of the Beltram Alpha Juno, but a bit less soft. Legato is your friend for all the swoopy bits.

here is a refill (if you use reason) made by Zimulator with the original hover sound.
