It's heavy layered sound with vocalish character...I have absolutely no idea what it is without any hint :)...

In the end of the example there is noise through comb filter or flanger...

You guess right :thumbup: Your 1st statement leads to a lot of synths, but your 2nd narrows down the list since it’s comb filtering :puf_wink:

I'll upload one quickly before going to work.

Clues (you're gonna need them):

It's a free synth.
It's a small synth.

At work so may have got the name slightly wrong but is it modal (or similar name). Think modal has a White gui, simple but makes nice tones.

Edit: just checked and it is called macro not modal. Euro rack type device.

Here is the Thor preset
I hope someone find it useful in a track. I like to play this sound but I've not been able to make a track with it.

Oh shit I just realized the synth is not free. I thought it was. Sorry guys. :oops:

Some updated and new clues:

It's a smaller synth.
It's a cheap synth.
I would say it isn't talked about much at all.
It's one of the simpler synths I've seen.

Smaller as in GUI size or functionality, or both?

The fact that you initially thought it was free, might actually be a hint :puf_wink:

So I think it is Nautilus 2.

No it's not Nautilus 2.

It's smaller in both size and functionality.

I can think of two, but I'll go with Pulsar.

Pulsar for $25.

That is CORRECT!!!
:clap: :clap: :clap:

I gotta admit I forgot about this synth myself. Might try to visit it sometime soon.

Would you like to make the next example?

Wow I haven got a clue with this one (although this thread has really made me realise how many re synths I have never tried)

Complete guess would be complex 1 as it sounds like something modular.

Sounds like someone rubbing a balloon while cutting a VERY LONG fart.

I can do some pretty crazy sounds with Nostromo. That sounds like something Nostromo could probably do. I think I spelled that right.

It is Nostromo
