What are your most modern & iconic sounds (sound design / synthesis) when it comes to club music ? (synth sound that became “famous” for you and make this particular track a tune for you …)
Modern : meaning from 2000’s til today
I’m preparing a course for my student and i want to enlarge my vision. Please keep in mind what i will ask is club oriented and not the ERA where most of the stuff was kindly picked from expanders like XV / E-MU / JV-1080 … so maybe we can exclude the 90’s club synth sounds. Let’s ignore chords and stabs as well (the variety and usage are too huge)
Remember the tracks and why it’s such a big impact for you. Please post the youtube link with the timestamps where the synth sound start to play. But it can also be a secondary synth sounds (not the theme) just because you find the synthesis/the design very interesting/never heard…

i will post some examples so you can understand what kind of example i’m after
Meaning sound designed and used in a track, you post the example of the track (youtube) and give the timestamp so we can catch what synth sound you talking about. @Uija@darenager : you gives synth model like Roland JP-8000, MS-20, TX81z…
that doesn’t help me here. (sorry to say that don’t think i’m not thankful for the replies) To a certain degree a lot of sound could be design on every synth… (not with same feeling, not with that vintage, not with the same warmth and in some case like hoover, acid sounds well i agree Alpha Juno and TB303 are certainly more capable to get on point with the tone and how the sound behave)
I don’t know how to phrase the thread well to people to understand.
I don’t care about the synth itself it’s all about the sounds (synthesis/sound design)
(even if i know there’s a correlation in some degrees)
hope you understand better now and thanks for the replies anyway
Sure i agree but like the Pizzicato String for Faithless “Insomnia” it comes straight as a factory preset on the JV-1080 - The M1 Organ comes straight as a preset on the KORG M1. (that’s why i put away the 90’s because i know people would replied exactly what people actually replied for now)
I seek for artist/musician sound signatures in terms of sound synthesis / sound design (club music)
Anyway, as i’m French … i may not express myself exactly well, i knew that this thread was going to be complicated
(we can exclude the 90’s club synth sounds) This one is from 1988, anyway : This one is on my list even thought it seems the technique after the basic oscillators detuned appart was a series of resampling to get it. (from what i have read) and i’m kind of seeking sounds synthesis that can be learn on most VST and Hardware synth. But we can come close to satisfying results with this one.
Ah ok so to recap/elucidate you want examples of more unique but signature sounds made by a specific artist rather than iconic/classic sounds that appear on many records? So not presets or simple things like x0x stuff etc.
