M-Audio Venom Sound Design Tips and Tricks – Oscillators

"Tip 1 – Recreating analog oscillator behavior

The first thing that comes to mind is how the frequency of an analog oscillator drifts over time. It slowly meanders in a seemingly random fashion as the circuit reacts to small variations in temperature and other factors. To quickly add some of this behavior to a Venom sound, turn up the Drift parameter using the oscillator section of the Vyzex editor."

Tip 2 – Using the Waveshaper to generate PWM
Tip 3 – Unusual uses for drum sounds
Tip 4 – Using Oscillators 2 and 3 as LFOs
Tip 5 – Frequency modulation of Noise

  1. Is it just me, or just the MP3 artifacts on the sound samples here, or is the Venom a bit... well... aliasy?

  2. Not sure, but as far as the Venom goes, it just depends on the patch. It can alias like crazy or it can sound smooth. You can find my review of it here.
