I’m learning how to build up my own synths in Bitwig Grid, but I’m far from the point where I can just imagine a sound and then implement it.

Does anyone know what synth that is in the sweep at the linked time? I realize it’s most likely an analog or analog-modeling synth, but which one? More advanced question: what combination of oscillators and filters would one combine to get that sound?

    Thanks. I was aiming for the learning process. I want to be able to hear or imagine a sound and then start linking up the oscillators and filters to get that specific sound. My end goal is to be all like… oh, take a square wave modulated by a sawtooth with a 4-pole notch here tumble-dried with an LFO insert, then hit the unison with muffler bearings and blinker fluid. Bam, There’s the sound I wanted. But with less nonsense.

      Sure I understand, I think the main thing shaping that sound would be a vowel filter.

        Per your first comment, I played around with the Vowel Filter in Grid. That certainly does seem to be a factor! Thank you!

          No problem. I never really use grid because the prebuilt synths in bitwig are usually powerful enough for my needs but have fun :)
