So this is probably a long shot, but I’ve been experimenting with the synth algos in my H90 (mainly PolySynth and HotSawz), and I’m curious if anyone can think of a way to re-create a common feature of many synthesizers, that being the ability to generate white noise and manipulate it with a filter.
This is useful for a variety of synth sounds, but for an example that a lot of people will be familiar with, there are Flute and Pan Flute synth patches such as this one, where you can hear that white noise is blended in with a filtered triangle wave to sound sort of like “wind” or “breath.”
I can run a single triangle oscillator with PolySynth and get quite close to the flute sound in the example, but as far as I can tell, PolySynth has no noise generator and can’t be made to sound like noise on its own… at least not when you’re running a guitar through it. I’ve tried messing around with some of the noisier, more distorted-sounding reverbs such as Blackhole and MangledVerb to perhaps run in parallel with PolySynth, but so far I haven’t really found a way to get very close to what I’m after. However, I know that a lot of the H90 algorithms have obscure, seldom-trodden settings with interesting effects, and some people here are more familiar with the whole range than I am.
Just curious if anybody has ever tried anything like this, or has any ideas.
Thanks, and happy holidays!
