This synth dominates the chord progression from the song's start (0:00), providing the foundational texture that defines its vaporwave identity.","audio_clip":"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/audiblegenius\/resonance-synth-pad","recipe":"<ul>\r\n \t<li>Oscillator: Saw Wave. Use Unison to make it washy and lush with 6 voices, kind of strong Detune, even Blend, and 0 Width<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Noise: White, low level so it's just layered in. This helps create a vintage vibe, making it less clean. Make sure it's routed into the filter.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Filter: Lowpass with 18dB slope. Cutoff at 370 Hz and a bit of Res (these set us up to use an Envelope to make the wah character). Full Drive for saturated analog warmth, and a bit of Fat to make up for the low end taken away by Res. Reduce the level to make up for Drive's volume boost<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Amp Envelope: About 6 ms of Attack to soften the transient just a bit. Sustain at 0, and both Decay and Release at 2 seconds so we have nice long notes.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Voices: Poly, 4 voices. The chords are mostly 4 notes each, so this way each chord will cut off the notes of the previous chord so we don't get layered and dissonant notes<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Filter Envelope: Route Env 2 to Filter Cutoff. Attack at 53 ms, Sustain at 0, and Decay and Release at 0.5 ms. Modest Amount (about 20). This will create a really tight wah. Too tight in fact, but that is because...<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Velocity: Route Velocity to Env 2 Decay and Release, and max out both of there amounts. Now, lightly pressed notes will give us a quick and closing wah, and hard-pressed notes will create a big bright sound, that still wahs up, but doesn't wah back down (at least not for a long time). This is why the pad is sometimes bright, and sometimes closed. But no matter what, you still get that fat horn-ish attack since the attack time is always the same.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Chaos: Route Chaos 1 (Sample &amp; Hold LFO on any synth will have a similar effect) to Master Tune, and set a VERY small amount. I set the Amount slider in the Matrix to 1, and dial back the Output slider to 25. Just a mild out-of-tune sound that really starts to bring in the vintage vibe<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Note: Make sure the following effects are in the order of this list.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Delay: Pretty heavy mix at 40%, pretty long Feedback so it echos for a while. Rate at 1\/16th (bpm is 83). To make it Stereo, set the Right offset to 1.050. I love how the Velocity-controlled envelope interacts with the Delay. Light notes that have a tight closing wah, create a very audible echo, but the more open and washy notes generated by hard presses, cover up the echo a bit. So the Delay comes and goes depending on how hard you hit the keys<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Reverb: Plate. Medium-Small size (17%), No Pre-Delay so our sound really sits in the reverb. Fairly heavy mix at 34%. Default settings of a little High Cut, a little Damping, and a little Width are perfect.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>EQ: Set the first band to Peak, with Freq 2400 Hz, Sharp Q at 50%, and a big boost of Gain at 13 dB. Set the second band to LPF with Freq 5000 Hz and Q at 40%. This really brings home the vintage vibe, losing some high end and bringing out this sort-of radio-esque mid-highs<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Compressor: Squeeze it. Set Threshold to -30 dB, Gain to 4 dB.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>","observations":"<h3>Pad Notes (From bottom to top for each chord)<\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>C Eb F Ab (3 times)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>C Eb G<\/li>\r\n \t<li>C Eb G Bb<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Eb G Bb C (6 times)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>F Ab C Eb (3 times)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Bb Db F Ab (2 times)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Ab C Eb G (6 times)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>","sources":"<ul>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/synthctrl.com\/blogs\/blog\/home-resonance-breakdown\">Home \"Resonance\" Breakdown | Synth Ctrl<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zIZ8j-hiRxM\">Recreating the main synth in Resonance Home using Xfer Serum (Youtube)<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=QsIg-6ggkIE\">How to Make Nostalgic Synthwave in VITAL \/\/ Sound Design Tutorial (Youtube)<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>","community_thread_url":"https:\/\/audiblegenius.productlift.dev\/p\/patch-request-synth-from-quotresonancequot-by-home-kK2fzG","patch_id":"","decade":"2010s","release_year":2014,"syntorial_essentials_lesson":"","syntorial_essentials_level":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.syntorial.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/preset-recipes\/57432","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.syntorial.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/preset-recipes"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.syntorial.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/preset-recipe"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.syntorial.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.syntorial.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57432"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"genre","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.syntorial.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/genre?post=57432"},{"taxonomy":"preset-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.syntorial.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/preset-type?post=57432"},{"taxonomy":"synthesizer","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.syntorial.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/synthesizer?post=57432"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
