How does a cloud sound? :P

I never knew what the hell people meant when they said the Equinoxe cloud sound, can you sample a couple of seconds from the CD?

No actually because I haven't got a digital recorder.

It's not that hard to create....

You need 3 osc's, one sawtooth, and the other two reversed triangles, and synch the 1th and 3th osc with eachother. (don't forget to increase the PWM depth of osc 2 a little!). If you have an external noise generator, mix it for about 32% with the other osc's, if you don't, just modulate some of the oscillators with the ringmodulator. (Put it on the random mode, that works the best, IMHO). Detune all osc's 2 semitones from each other.
Then for the 4th voice, you need a sample of a boiled egg, which you slightly pitch-modulate with LFO1 (warped triangle wave)
Then for the filters, use 2 filters (one Lowpass and a hipass serial-chained, 24 db/oct) with frequency 1 at 244 Hz, and frequency 2 at 4 kHz. Put the resonance of filter 2 to approx. 60%.
Filter 1 envelope = 10%, 55%, 11%, 88% Filter 2 doesn't have an envelope.
Then let LFO2 modulate the filter and amp, and synch the tempo to root of the Arpeggiator BPM. If you can use an external waveform as source, use a sample of a reversed part of Beethoven's 9th. Otherwise a split saw will do the same trick, but less spectaculair.
The amp settings are following: Put the left panner to the right, and the right panner to the left, for a special upwards stereo effect. The amp amount can remain at 99, and the envelope is 13%, 30%, 77%, 1% (you can use longer decay times if you want).
The best, you can use 2 effects, reverb and delay. Use a nice sounding reverb preset (Hall or Cathedral does the trick, mostly), with the Reverb Time as long as possible. The delay, we use in stereo, so left (will go to right bus, right?) at 985ms, and right (will go to left bus, ofcourse) at 1979ms. Then put your volume fader to 0, and you're ready! 8)

Nope, when I write "reversed triangle" then it IS a reversed triangle! :P

The same way as a split saw and the upward stereo effect :P

You can't reverse a Triangle Wave its a symetrical waveform,its the same forwards as it is backwards..the only way you can alter a triangle waves structure is by altering the Amplitude its made up of odd harmonics but its shape is symetrical,same as a sine

You can invert it which means this ^ becomes V but that would be used mainly in LFO waveforms or Pitch EG on the the Amp or Filter

I'm not sure if there is any synth capable of inverted Triangle waves without an EG applied to the Oscillator,or some form of Modulation to the Pitch

I usually call that owning oneself... :pwned: :punch:

Ok great post Jarp2600, but I think I've come out with a boiled egg sound rather than the Equinoxe cloud I was aiming for. I even reversed the triange twice, or what you might say, I took it around 180°. There must not be a cloud sound then.... Image

So can we get back to the string settings on the Eminent? Anybody here even have one?
