 Hey, it's Anafa and this will be a short one. Someone requested that I show him how to make a Vinyl record scratch sound and I thought well, let's try it out So I have Zinatsub FX 3.0 opened. This is Zinfusion, a new interface And I have my MIDI keyboard connected. This is the same synthesizer The same Zinatsub FX but it has a different interface because everything now is routed through OSC open sound control so it can be Driven with any interface you want. I guess one could even create a web interface for Zinatsub FX if he wants so Let's think We want to make sound like a scratch vinyl So we need some broadband signal because scratch vinyl is basically the sound of At least the noise of the record or sometimes just noise or some music That is changing the speed. So you're changing the speed of the playback and all the pitch of the material goes up and down So we need to change pitch and we need a broadband signal So let's try a saw wave For our bass sound so this is VCE 1. I'm gonna use VCE 2. This is the voice 2 No, I probably have two of them so I'm gonna In the voice. Yeah first voice. Let's make it silent. Can you hear it? I'm gonna make the whole thing louder Better better Better now better better now. All right, should be good So we have the voice 2 which is gonna be I Saw wave is a saw wave and Now we need to make this wider in spectrum Probably like hopefully more noise like because this is too much of a regular normal sound So let's use Modulation I'm gonna use phase modulation and use them voice one which is this one and The cool thing now is I can change the voice one to noise and we basically have a Saw wave modulated frequency modulator, sorry phase modulated by noise We also can use DC offset But well, we probably would need Okay, that doesn't do anything Pink noise is gonna be even nicer However, that's too much. So I'm gonna go to voice to and voice to I'm gonna Lower the amount of modulation Also, I want to disable the velocity sensing So for quiet notes and loud we have the same amount of phase modulation All righty that could do we could also try Yeah, giving this two units and voices Tiny tiny amount of detune. It's actually a Fun little patch for playing synth chords. All righty. So what do we need now? We need to change the pitch of this stuff up and down Let's see. We have voice frequency. We could use an LFO. Let's try it This these are randomness some amplitude randomness and frequency randomness We also have a Lopez filter the global filter. So I'm going to global filter That's our filter and it's got Velocity sensing so I disable this all right. So our LFO Yeah voice frequency always starts at the same place which is Silly All right Kind of sorter, but we need to make this monophonic. So I'm gonna go legato. Maybe And we can also enable portamento I'm playing different notes. You can see the keyboard Just two notes we can lower the portamento time I think we can get some interesting sounds from this that sound like scratch scratch like record scratches I wonder what else we could do To make this more more Real maybe let's try a little bit of distortion So I'm gonna insert an effect for part one Distortion let's not use any time-based effects because that's gonna break the illusion of us playing with a record Well, that's way too much. Also we have We have no stereo. Well, that's still too much. We could maybe make our LFO more aggressive or Have ourselves another pitch LFO because we can have one for the voice Which is this one and we can also have the global one which is here Now we have two pitch LFOs one on top of another Let's give them LF. Let's get this one also randomness Well, it's too fast and I guess we need longer portamento time Maybe if we disabled the velocity sensing it all together Yeah, that's gonna give us a better result because I'm unable to press You know two notes with the same velocity and that creates a disconnection in the sound because the velocity Changes when I press another key and that all influences how the distortion works So the all the sound is different and when I disable velocity sensing for the whole instrument Right here in the part settings then Well now I guess it's just a matter of putting the right MIDI notes and hoping for the proper LFO Setting or maybe sampling a whole bunch of your performances on this Onto an audio track and cutting out what is what suits your needs Or instead of using the LFOs Use automation and have total control over the pitch So I'm going to disable LFOs Let's go here and voice LFO also. No. Oh, I don't need this. I just have to just do this We can also yeah, all right So I'm gonna use the pitch wheel because pitch wheel you can modulate the pitch wheel You can automate it within the DAW with order for example But we need to set up how the pitch wheel is going to respond. I want to make this for the Hello, where is it? Oh I wish I could see that Pitch wheel motion here looks like I can't all right, so Range of MIDI pitch wheel That's probably it Yeah, that's it. However, we have some arbitrary number there So I'm now playing with a key and the pitch wheel But you can use automation to precisely do something that sounds like a scratch It's hard to perform that You see I got better results with automation if I wanted to perform this live because the automation created this sign-like slope That emulates the inertia of the turntable because the turntable is very heavy If you ever played with a real vinyl player Music player portable not portable it The turntable is heavy if you try to push it and pull it it's got inertia. It's it's like You're trying to stop it and go going there further and and you're trying to reverse it and it's going Oh slowly so it takes a lot of force to actually move it quickly. So These DJs they need to either have very light turntables that are precisely did for scratching Or they I don't know they have Armstrong sort of whatever So here's some ideas Enjoy it. I hope you liked it if you learned something Rejoice Yeah See you in the next one. Bye
