I actually get a suitable sample, repeat it out over 2 minutes and apply a non linear pitch shift effect to it.

Ok... so any particular synth I should use as a starting point? I've got reason, but just not sure how to control that kind of sound. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 23, 2003 11:21 AM To: Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List Subject: [dnb-prod] Re: How to make those rising up sweeping synth sounds?
