Hey Guys, I wanted to know what kind of patch you guys program up when you buy/demo a new synth? How do you test the synth, to see if it makes you smile?
I usually go for an Acid sounds, but I've realized that because of this, all my synths now have that "First Impression" acid sound.
Thanks,
Monib

Sine or resonant filter kick drum + psy bass line
Gives a good impression of the sound of the filters and envelope response, and I learn how to configure the basics such as envelopes and oscillators (phase reset) etc.
Peace,
Andy.

Something horrendously convoluted using all the weirdest sound sources, with massive amounts of modulation and noise.
If I can do that; or even if I fail massively, get lost in it, but still enjoy myself, I figure that's a synth for me.
These things are DESIGNED to make pretty, so if they can still make ugly...

Basic saw and square filter plucks. Kick and snare. Reece for testing detuned saws through the filter. Dark pad to test envelopes and filter warmth. Audio-rate modulation if supported. Then more audio-rate modulation on top of that. Then I'll play high notes and pitchbend them, give it a chance to really impress me
Then, I see how many chip tricks it will do. Octave blips, octave trills, wave switching on the attack, C64 rattlesnares. Not all synths are equipped for this kinda thing though, but it's a fun creative exercise trying to get synths not designed for that kinda thing to do that kind of thing. I was suprised how many chip staples I was able to make in TAL-Bassline 101, mainly thanks to it's onboard sequencer ACE is allowed into chiptune heaven mainly thanks to it's ramp generator, which can double as a square envelope (i.e. a modulation signal of --_____|:__:| )
