I think this is a synth sound and the scratching in the video is just a visual. I can get something fairly similar in the free Vital synth - noise going into a closed low pass filter with resonance maxed, envelope popping the filter open, the higher 'scratch' at the end of the sound is played higher up the keyboard with filter keytracking activated, running the whole thing into a hard distortion in the effects section.
It's not necessarily the way they made the sound, but it is the way I'd make the sound.

This is something we have already (remotely) tried but maybe the fine tuning was different to what you have in mind. Sometimes it's all in the details. If you could send a patch I'd like to check if this could still work somehow. It would be interesting! Please try if you can.
C'mon, there must be something that you do in your life besides sleeping or working? And then for the first time he was really thinking and what did he reply: I watch TV!

This is so funny.TW5011 wrote: Thu Mar 25, 2021 2:27 am Approaching sound design with a paint-by-numbers approach (i.e., having specific instructions to follow) doesn't really teach you how to create your own sounds.
But I can't quite agree. Both is important: I DO lots of experimenting myself but I'd get frustrated if there wasn't anyone who could help me find the right techniques. You need someone who accompanies you on your way, someone you could compare results with, etc.! This is rather important (to me at least). With this being said, those who prefer to do this completely on their own may feel free to do so.

That's certainly a loop playing back from a sampler. Sounds like a relatively low sample rate and then some heavy low pass filtering. If I was gonna try and make this sound I'd use a dog bark. Something like mrhythmizer could fake the scratching but you could also fudge it with just some pitch bend. You can probably find a dog barking or a random vocal "whoop" to play with on free sound dot org. The rest could be done with a sample player like Kontakt or even by placing samples directly in the daw. The rhythm is pretty simple. Then a pile of low pass filtering to keep it muffled.
