Lesson 3 – Synthesis – The Kernkraft riff
In the tutorial, we will look at recreating the main riff from the track “Zombie Nation’
This lesson will cover,
| Synthesis | ES2 | Oscillators |
| Filters | Effects | Reverb |
| Flanger | Resonance | Kernkraft |
| Automation | ADSR | Envelope |
Start watching video
| Step 1 – Use the ES2. Insert the ES2 onto the track named RIFF HERE |
| Step 2 – The Oscillators. Adjust the OSC 1, 2 & 3 to the desired waveforms and blend together. Tune one of the OSC -12 semitones (octave). Adjust the Analog parameter and detune the synth by -40 cents |
| Step 3 – The Filter. Add some resonance and adjust the filter cut-off point. |
| Step 4 – The ADSR envelope. Increase the attack and release times slightly. |
| Step 5 – The ES2 effect section. Add some distortion, brightness and some Flanger |
| Step 6 – Using Automation. Use automation to change the filter cut-off point over time. |
| Step 7 – Experiment with FX. Add some Reverb, Flanger and any other FX you can think of |
| Step 8 (Optional). Toughen up the drums. Try and make the drums compete more effectively with the main riff. Change the sounds if necessary. The track is 140 bpm, that’s the same as Grime and Dubstep. Can you create a remix? |
