Gary Numan (Not Cars) Synth Sound on Pleasure Principle Album
      19/04/06 09:51 AM
Hi

Firstly, excellent place this for people like me. I’ve been making music on my Pc now for 4 months and learning and loving every minute of it!

I'm knocking up a basic track loosely based on Gary Numan's Airplane track from the Pleasure Principle album. I've got PolyMoog's Vox Humana and Strings presets (oh thank you Nostalgia), bass guitar (Sonik Synth) and real drums (Battery2).

The one sound I cannot get or create (or sample effectively) is the OTHER bass synth sound in the track. It sounds like two tones, one plain and the other wobbling like metal type thing!? The same sound is used an octave or two up the keyboard, on it's own, at the beginning of the Metal track (I think) on the same album as well as Conversation.

My setup is just an X-Fi soundcard, Midi KB and Cubase SX3 and loads of VST synths / effects / samplers etc. The classic example of more money than musical ability and sense!

I’m not very good yet at creating sounds from scratch so bear in mind when responding.

Thanks for your anticipated responses.

Regards

Prod
