i wonder if you could tell me how this specefi sound between the classical instrument(dunno the name) is created. this really low frequency unconventional quirky sound. is it made with anaolg stuff or software?
do you have an idea which software/plugins/syntheziser/hardware can achieve this?

Sounds like granular synthesis techniques. The actual basic waveform is run of the mill. This is likely to have been put through a VST or other plugin which did the granular stuff to it.

The second sound is somewhat simply sequenced/amplitude modulated through a delay. As to how many polyphonic synthesizers can do that, the answer is "a lot". Even a monophonic synthesizer with two oscillators could do that.

Anyway, look up granular synthesis techniques for help on the first waveform. Wink
