Calling Sound Shapers…
Sunday, June 5th, 2005 at 10:27 pmMixter-meister teru wants to know a good synth VSTi to use in FL Studio. I’m told Sytrus is better than ice cream and the demo included in FL looks like it should make someone who knows an oscillator from an alligator very happy — every sound I try to make sounds like a cross between a dial tone and electronic door bell. I’ve played with Native Instruments type synths that made me feel like maybe I should have stayed to the end of 10th grade and decided I’d rather start a new mix with an Archie Bell sample.
Two of my indie favs, Brad and Lisa regularly drop in synthy parts into their pop songs and I’ve always been curious what tools they’re using..

I know you said you tried the NI synths, but what about Pro-53? It’s not as groundbreaking as the rest of NI’s arsenal, but the sound is immense and the interface is based on a normal synth so it’s easy to grok. plus you can use it as an effect device routing audio through it its filters and effects.
i have not, however, tried this in FL…

The demo works great in FL (except they shut off the feature I was most curious about — audio input)

Well, my tool is an actual synth. :)
Dial-tones and electronic door bell sounds are all right with me!
