Distorted Synth Solo

*** Please add &fmt=18 to the URL for better quality! ***

A patch I programmed with Logic's ES2 Synthesizer. Basically two (slightly detuned) oscillators playing sawtooth waves and then a third oscillator playing a square wave 19 semitones (octave + fifth) up. This third osc is mixed in with the modulation wheel (which also lowers the volume slightly on one of the sawtooths) to give the "guitar feedback" effect.

The whole ES2 is then routed through Logic's Guitar Amp Simulator, Stereo Delay and Space Designer Reverb. I used the keyboard's octave switches a lot on this solo, as well as pitch bend (2 semitones up, 24 semitones down) and, as mentioned earlier, the mod wheel.

Hi dude!, can you tell me how did you do to make the pitch bend go up 2 semitones, and down 2 octaves? Does the Axiom allow you to do that?

@JoaquinBaranzano Hi! That setting is done in Logic's ES2 synthesizer. On the far left you can set your bend range. Thanks for commenting!

what is this godly machine you're playing on?

[KeyboardMan1977]

@SeroslavJr :D Just a simple MIDI keyboard. Check the video info for more on the sound (Logic's ES2 Synthesizer). Thanks for watching!
