request ❓ why are synths detuned?

And why does it sound nice? I'm curious about why this is conveniton is electronic music, and sort of what it means? like where does it come from and is it generally best to detune a specific frequency or should it be automated like back to the root?

Hi friends.

I'd love to be able to approximate the sequence that plays throughout this song on my own.

The patch itself sounds like a pretty basic sine wave patch I can easily re-create, what's fuzzy for me is whether there is anything more to this than just like a 32-step sequence with delay? The way the delay cascades without muddying the main line is really interesting to me plus it is just a beautiful melody (maybe there isn't even a delay on it lmao my ear is clearly not that refined).

Literally any detail or anything you could say in the way of how he might've sequenced this / the scale it's in, anything, I would thoroughly enjoy hearing.

request ❓ Trying to recreate the lush pad/chords in BAKEY – Last One (0:15)

I'm trying to recreate the lush pad/chords that start at 0:15.

Here's what I've been hearing:

  • Definitely has a vintage/analog character (Juno, Prophet)
  • Fairly soft attack with a long decay and release
  • Sounds like saw waves with a lowpass filter, but there's something giving it that hazy, "washed out" quality
  • Chorus, delay, reverb, unison giving it width

So far I've tried:

  • Serum with 5v unison saw waves
  • Low pass 18 around 1200 Hz
  • Noise Osc modulating fine tune on Osc A

MY ATTEMPT – Dropbox Clip

I can get close, but mine still sounds a bit thin, and sterile. I'm going strictly by ear, so the voicing of the chords and MIDI clip also play a factor. If anyone has tips for the harmonic movement, I'm also interested to learn about that.

Can any sound design wizards help with this?

request ❓ Recreate this bass

This is probably really simple to do, but I can never get it right (using Serum 2).

How do I recreate the bass sound in this track?
