Electro house vst's

Aahh · 15th February 2007

Hi,

looking for vst synths for electro house.. anyone who have an idea of what to use? Something like Tom Neville, Richard Dinsdale, Angello, Ingrosso.. Garraud maybe.. not excactly like them though just something that I can get that type of sound with.. Tried the arturia arp 2600 a bit recently but I didn't really like it.. didn't spend much time on it though maybe that's why. Also tried a lot of free vst's.. liked some of the synth1 sounds..

The Moog vst's maybe? Haven't tried them.. appriciate any tips.

Thanks in advance

you can really get useable sounds out of just about any synth - soft or hard...

it sounds like you are looking for something with presets loaded in there with sound suited to electrohouse, i think you'll be searching awhile

like most hardware synths the presets are useless for actually slotting into a tune, they are drowned in effects / stereo etc.. as some say to get people to part with their money and to show the full potential of the synth...maybe

get the existing vsts you have , find a suitable starting patch, and strip it of all the effects etc.. get it down to the essential oscillators and then listen, tweak, add some distortion when happy and compress to high hell

or the slutty answer to this would be to just buy a moog voyager or little phatty

electro house is not about what synth u use -- its about garuuuuve

i like the cakewalk rapture and zz3ta as they have waveshaping capabitities and good bit /sample reduction algorithms.

then there is the quadrasid from refx '

Vengeance-sounds.de makes bass patches that are great for electro as well other tehcno forms.

you can also get patches from the web related to electro.

a good trick also is to sampe your own synth grooves, import them into your sampler so its a multi intrument and change the sample start/reverse/ add fx.
