We’ll use the H910 Dual to add some depth and width to the synth. This is based on the classic H910 hardware unit, and capable of a variety of pitch-shifted stereo effects. Next we load the H910 Dual Harmonizer plugin. We also use the third and fourth bands to add some upper mid presence, boosting at 1.1 kHz by 2.3 dB with a 2.2 Q setting and at 2.9 kHz by 3.0 dB with a 1.7 Q. If we planned to add a vocal, we may need to exercise caution boosting in this frequency range as this could cause a potential frequency clash in the upper mids. We start with EQ using the UltraChannel channel strip plugin (currently reduced from $249 to $49). We change the first filter type to the 12 dB/oct low-cut setting and sweep the frequency up to 112.5 Hz to cut away any rumbly low frequencies, leaving space for the kick and any bass or sub sounds we want to add later. This patch sounds OK, but would benefit from some processing to give it more character and help it cut through the mix the way a lead synth should. First, we turn off the reverb effect in Diva as we’ll be adding some reverb later on in the process.
This is a relatively simple brass patch with a sawtooth wave and some envelope modulation on the filter. We’ve loaded an instance of U-he Diva and picked the ‘HS Strumpet’ patch from the presets.
Here’s a screenshot of the MIDI pattern we used for this hook: Here’s an example of our synth before processing: Īnd here’s an example of what we’ll have at the end of the walkthrough:

Synth Secrets is a series of programming tutorials in which we show how to make a range of classic and new synth sounds using plugins such as Massive, Sylenth and Diva.įor this instalment of Synth Secrets, rather than creating a synth sound from scratch we’re going to look at how we can use some plugins from Eventide’s extensive and hugely powerful Anthology X collection to add width, depth and space to a synth patch.
