Members wheresgrant3 Posted January 12, 2012 Members Share Posted January 12, 2012 We're covering alot of current top 40 (Pitbull, Lady Gaga, David Guetta, Rhinana, LMFAO) in my band with two keyboard players and a variety of synths (Korg m3, Micro X, Virus C, Motif rack, Roland XP30). Four hands and a small mountain of gear. My bandmate takes care of most of the main parts and I handle alot of the dynamics... lead lines, arpeggios, drones, pedal tones, sub drops, sweeps...etc. I'm doing all of this on a variety of synths which requires alot of patch switching and jumping around from board to board. I'm pretty limited to the factory patches and sound I create. I'm hoping to find some better quality 'ready made' samples for many of these effects and trigger them using a Roland SP 404? Any suggestions on quality sound fx I can purchase or download to provide transitions from song to song? There used to be a day I'd risk a full Viral Assualt just typing 'sub-drop' into Limewire... but those days are long gone. I don't mind paying for something that meets this need and helps to reduce some gear onstage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Meatball Fulton Posted January 13, 2012 Members Share Posted January 13, 2012 You should check out the TAL plugins. First they are free, secondly they are well suited for creating SFX. Find them here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members seamonkey Posted January 13, 2012 Members Share Posted January 13, 2012 First I will try to not hold it against you for playing Lady Gaga or David what'sizname. What about SFZ+? it's free from Cakewalk. I really like it and all you need to do is find some SF2 files for free or buy a bundle somewhere. http://www.store.cakewalk.com/b2cus/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=35-CWSZ1.40-20E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don't hold it against me... it $pays$ very well to play Lady Gaggle and Dave Gutterface... but beyond the cringe worthiness of wonton pop sensibilities, the music that backs those tracks are sometimes inventive and almost always listenable. I was hoping for a more 'out of the box' solution because my time is extremely limited but maybe there aren't any. [idk]. But these are good avenues to start. I can always create some FX, sample them and then trigger them during the performance. My bandmate created this amazing sweeping portamento sequence using a Nord Lead. I'm looking for more of those types of sounds and textures that can be trigger via midi controller/sampler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members wheresgrant3 Posted January 13, 2012 Author Members Share Posted January 13, 2012 This is more in line with what I was looking for.... http://www.theproducerschoice.com/products/extreme-risers-transitions-fx... which are ready made samples to load into an SP404 or other sample player and can be triggered on Cue. Although I like all the ideas posted here. No doubt I will be downloading a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
