request ❓ Shjva – "Upper Limit": monolithic arp

Thumbnail
youtube.com
β€’ Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I've been trying to reverse-engineer an arpeggiated synth sound and I'm stuck on how it's actually put together.

The reference is Shjva's "Upper Limit". There's an arp running through the track and to my ears it sounds like several layers fused into one: a bass layer, a mid synth carrying most of the movement, and at points some resonant high-end elements fading in and out on top. The striking part is how monolithic it is, everything reads as a single voice rather than separate stacked sounds.

The reference is Shjva's "Upper Limit". There's an arp running through the track (timestamp of the start from 0:20 but you can hear it better from 1:10) and to my ears it sounds like several layers fused into one...

What I'm trying to understand:

  • Is this more likely one patch (wide/unison with a resonant filter) or genuinely layered bass + mid + top, glued together afterward?
  • How do you get that "one sound" cohesion when stacking? Shared filter/saturation/bus processing, or is it mostly in how it's sequenced?
  • The resonant top elements that appear and disappear, is that a resonant filter being swept while the arp plays, or a separate layer riding on top?

I'm attaching the full track for reference, plus a short clip(below) I cut in Ableton isolating the arp so you can hear it more clearly.

Any pointers on direction and what to reach for would be hugely appreciated.

I've heard this sound in a few bands, specifically in psychedelic genre. Is this some synthetizer specifically? How can I replicate this sound in Serum 2 or some other VST? I've tried to achieve the sound, but I'm still learning sound designs.

The sound begins at 07:03 of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlYmw4AuJiI

For months, I've been trying to recreate the synth sound on I Can't Help It starting at 0:10 and from 0:20 to 0:39. I have a Nord Stage 4 that I have been trying to recreate it on, but I am not good with the synth settings or how to make anything sound like the recording. Does anyone have info on how I can work towards getting a sound that is the same/similar?

Hey I am new to music production In as wondering if anyone could give me advice on how to achieve a similar sound to the synths used in strawberry hospital songs. They have a kind of echoed, ghostly effect that makes them feel floaty. Sorry if this makes me sound like such a noob.
Here are some links with timestamps.

This is a ~40 second interlude from the new Loathe album, A Stranger To You. There is this super weird synth going through the whole thing, and I am just curious how you think they did it?

Here is the link, no time stamp because it’s the only synth thing going throughout the entire song!

Thank you wise synth masters!

request ❓ Recreating "It's a fine day" - VXLLAIN, iGRES

1 Upvotes

Good morning,

This is my first time trying sound design, so I’m not completely sure how to describe my objectives with the correct terminology.

Basically, I’m trying to recreate the sound at the very beginning of "It's a fine day" by VXLLAIN and iGRES (from 0:00 to ~0:20):

https://youtu.be/1rKufMKPcZA

I’m working in Ardour and using Vital as my synth. Does anybody have an understatement of how this sound could have been made, or can provide a rough starting point for recreating it in a synth?

Any information would be appreciated. I’m completely new to this, so beginner-friendly advice would help a lot.

This is also my first time posting on Reddit and English is not my first language, so I apologize for any mistakes. I will provide any information that is necessary.
(I already posted this in another subreddit, no idea if this is the correct place to ask, if it isn't, I would appreciate knowing where to ask)

Thanks in advance
