Are these square/saw waves?

They sound a lot smoother and 'richer' than stuff I've ever heard, particularly the first one. Disregard the bass tone in the first, and the voice in the second. Whatever they are, how can they (especially the first, if different) be produced?

They sound like fairly complicated drones to me. I doubt there are any regular synth waveforms in there at all. I hear a long monk-type chant, some metallic knocking/scraping in the background, and some kind of complex, evolving synth-sound, heavily lowpassed, and probably either detuned against a copy or chorussed (I'd go with the former if I were to guess).
Chances are samples and/or granular synthesis or something similar were involved.

I'm only interested in
first clip: the baritone range tone, the rrrrrrrrrr.
second clip: the tenor range tone, the eeeee - NOT the voice going mmmmmmmm.
These were abstracted from this youtube vid - at 2:24 and about 4:03, respectively - where the guy was vocalizing to/with/at it, and apparently his voice interacted with some program, he calls it a game, to make or/and affect the tones being produced. I haven't researched more than that.....

Sounds like sample, as the waveform sounds very evolving, not repeated.Sendy wrote:They sound like fairly complicated drones to me. I doubt there are any regular synth waveforms in there at all.

Far as I can tell, it is not as buzzy as a saw or video-gamish as a square.
(I just ran through Syntorial, and that sure drills in what a saw or square sounds like!!)
I tried Absynth demo, is that the Mutator/Aetherizer? That can make tiny changes that are very subtle and evolving..

FM synthesis all the way. You can get this sound pretty quickly by playing randomly with any FM synth

Thank you. I'll try some out, and report back.DJ Warmonger wrote:FM synthesis all the way. You can get this sound pretty quickly by playing randomly with any FM synth

Well. I tried a couple synths. An older one, Ganymed, and a newer one, Alpha Ray. Couldn't get anything remotely close with the latter. With Ganymed, I got a typical early 80s-like rrrrrrrrrnnnnn. Not the way cool sounding kinds of things in the recording above. If someone is interested in giving some seminal pointers, or even better working out a paid arrangement, holler. Elsewise, I'm going to hang this up.

Upon listening to it again louder, how about Aethereal (by Psychic Modulation)?
I don't have it, but I vaguely remember the demo and it also had that eerie touch
