Hey remember me? I'm that guy who was a newb and had a hard time grasping the concept of arps. WELL I'M BACK and this time I'm not asking a newb question (I think?)

How does Trey Frey get those synths? I really wanna use them for some songs I'm working on and I was wondering if anybody here knew?

(ex: https://thebasebitrecs.bandcamp.com/tra … onstructor @ 0:30, https://thebasebitrecs.bandcamp.com/track/further @ 0:20 and 1:02, and https://thebasebitrecs.bandcamp.com/track/daisy @ 0:30.)

They sound like they could be wave channel, specifically a triangle wave on manual but I'm not exactly sure whether it's on warp or resync or both.

Any idea?

Thanks! big_smile

Triangle wave, ping pong play, mess with the band pass filter with a slight resonance. A lot of what TreyFrey does in that album is really good post production.

He did a workshop at Superbyte and from what he showed us there appears to be very little post production. I won't share the specifics of what he told us as I'm not sure it'd be polite to but make use of tables and fine tuning between pulse channels along with a bunch of other stuff obviously.

I changed the synth to manual and I changed the hand drawn waves. I did sort of a C3C3C3 etc pattern and it sounds synthy. Gonna try going more.

Not a lot like the synths trey frey uses but I think I'm on the right track...

If he's using wave channel for that whiney mosquito sound in Daisy (pretty sure it is), but I've gotten similar sounds out of the wave channel by just messing around with stuff. I'll have to check out my projects so i can see what i did, lol.

Don't forget about vibrato and stuff, too. Hi frequency.
