Awesome stuff!<p>Drum synthesis is one of those rabbit holes where you can obsess for a long time, when instead you can find good enough sounds quickly and should probably just use them!<p>I wonder how many collective hours people have burned in trying to synthesize the 909. Here's one cool video of getting it in Reaktor (<a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=A_AWH3SgM84" rel="nofollow">https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=A_AWH3SgM84</a>)... way cool as a project, but the ROI if everyone did it lol.<p>I've been using all my spare hours the past week spinning on trying to synthesis the snare used in the original Amen Break using Modo Drum to no avail. Like I said... Rabbit hole and I should probably just use samples like everyone else :(
I fiddle with creating sounds in JavaScript a bit, but I just went as far as creating sounds fx for a game (pretty simple ones). I want to try and work with it a little bit more in the future.<p>Great article, definitely inspiring.
