G2 supersaw/commercial trance demo |
  |
|
Hi,
Not sure if this has been mentioned here before, but just stumbled across this demo of a typical commercial trance supersaw type sound/sequence played on a G2. Band website with track using similar sequence is here. I can't see much information on the demo though. The band site is in Japanese.
Personally, I am not really into this kind of music, but it did strike me as a good demo of this style. I love my tech, trance, and ambient, but find this style to be very derivative.
Cheers,
Oli

Impressive playing though - at least for a person with as clumsy fingers as myself.  I thought everybody did this stuff with sequencers.

Yeah, the keyboard playing is certainly much more skillful than my efforts.
I think sequencing this sort of thing is lot more convenient if one can at least play pretty close to what one wants, by hand. Just doing note entry on a sequencer can be a bit slow and tedious, compared to hashing something out on the keys, and it is not so easy to get good dynamic expression. At least, that's my experience anyway.

How can you "hear" a saw in that?
I've never been able to distinguish the type of waveform in a song.

Well, I can't distinguish the waveform. The reason I lebelled it a supersaw, was just that I believe this type of sequence has spawned from use of the JP8000 supersaw preset. Since then, there have been many derivations of early famous sequences, and many re-implementations of that style of patch. The waveform of the orginal patch is not really sawtooth anyway, as it is composed of multiple sawtooths, and then processed.
I can distinguish some wave shapes in tracks, meaning I can recognise the wave shape of oscillators used to build a sound. This is only by recognising sounds I have played with myself. Usually this is only possible for fairly simple sounds, which are not highly processed.
I believe I can recognice something like a simple sinusoidal bass, or a raw 303 square wave. That is not to say that I can hear its squareness, though. I think one can learn to recognise harmonic content of simple wave forms though.
I think it is the same as when deisgning a patch; one has some idea of how to achieve the sound one wants, bassed on past recognition of sounds. I think I mainly learned this as a child, playing on a Realistic Minimoog.
I could of course be wrong, but my guesses seem to correlate pretty well with what I hear when playing with synths.
