Sustain is how long the synth will sustain. But attack is how fast the sound comes in, if you set it to the right, the synth will fade in, set it to the left, the sound will instantly play.

#Fl studio 3x osc how to#

I don't really know how to explain hold and decay. Same thing goes with Panning tab, it controls how the sound will gradually move from the left to the right, the CUT and RES LFO will gradually shift what frequencies come in and out, and the pitch, well modulates the pitch.Īs for the sound envelopes.I believe 3xosc has attack, sustain, decay, hold, release, and maybe predelay, I can't remember. Next to the AMT knob controls the speed I believe, so if you set it to the left, the LFO will squeeze the wave shape, making the volume swell in and out faster, and if turned to the right, making the volume swell slower, and possibly more noticeably as long as you don't overdo it. I'll be honest and say I don't really know what Bandpasses and Notch Filters do.maybe someone can explain.Īs for the LFO, select the VOL tab, and set the AMT (amount) button all the way to the right. Experiment using this filter with different wave shapes. No select HP (which stands for highpass), and you will hear the opposite effect when the cutoff knob is turned to the left, the lower frequencies are cutoff, and when turned to the right you can hear the lower frequencies. Turn the cutoff knob to the left, and you will hear gradually less of the higher frequencies ranges, because the more you turn the knob to the left, the larger the cutoff range will be. LP stands for lowpass, and cuts off the high frequencies.

and select one of the filters, Fast LP, LP, or SVF LP. Turn the resonance knob all the way to the left, and the cutoff knob all the way to the right. I'll try and explain the cutoff filter section first: The fine pitch detuning is moreso used if you want to slightly detune your synth, like in reese basses.Īs for the other tab (INS?), which controls the ASDR envelopes, LFO modulation, and the cutoff filters, this is where it gets a bit more confusing. CRS is moreso used if you want to 'thicken' out your synths, possibly by tuning one to 0 semitones, one at 12 (or -12), and the third at 24 (or -24). The fine pitch knob adjusts it by cents- so the CRS knob has a wider range of changing the pitch of the wave. On the main INS tab, The Pan and Vol knobs are self explanitoryĬRS (course) pitch knob adjusts the wave by semitones (a half step in notes). I'll try to go over a few of the controls, I don't have FL studio (and I have used only a few tmes briefly over the course of last year) on me so this might be a bit difficult but I'll start from where I can remember. Someone who's more intelligent with synthesis can type up the more technically correct way to describe what happens to the sound, but sometimes explaining in layman's terms is what you need. Commonly the problem here is you just don't know what the knobs you tweak will specifically change in the sound, therefore if it's not that prominent you won't really notice the difference. I dunno, is there some better way of figuring how to make sounds like these than just guessing and checking? I've tried to figure how to really utilize the 303osc but it seems like the things you change (except shapes) usually have so little effect on the sound that it's a waste of time. I just don't get how you guys come up with these sounds. I just thought it'd be better showing people they can create decent lead's with the 3x OSC :3 I made this tutorial because i was bored, and i'm sick of seeing people use the 'Commercial Trance' Preset from Z3TA+. Now all you need to do is create a melody! Now to add the Effect's (Such as Reverb).Īs for CamelPhat3, set it to either option of, GTR American Clean or GTR American Crunch. Open up your Mixer (F9), and select FX channel 1. Now set the 'Slide' knob, to 0:12 (About halfway). 'Wow awesome! we just created a Saw!' (not)Īnyway, in the 3xOSC select the 'MISC' tab, and set the Polophony to 2, and select 'Porta' (portamento). Now change OSC2 to a Saw wave, and change the OSC3's volume to 0%. Open up the 3x OSC in a new channel and set it to FX channel 1. Well i recently submitted - To the AP, and i thought i'd post a tutorial on how i made the Lead in the song.ģx OSC (no joke, you really need this :D)ĬamelPhat3 (Get the demo if you cant get it, or just pirate it :P)
