Creating a plucked synth sound

“

- So far, we've built some sustained sounds using saw waveforms. This time, let's build a percussive pluck sound and let's try mixing saw and square waveforms in the same patch. So I've opened up the number three exercise in chapter two for plucked synth. And when you open this up, you'll see one track, and we've already got a default analog loaded. And I've also got a couple of signal processors that we'll enable later on. So to get started with, I'm going to go to Analog and I'm going to click the global shell so that I see the quick routing options. And I'm going to choose Quick Routing number one here. Now the reason I want it this time is because I'm going to be using different wave shapes and different filter settings for both oscillators. So I'm going to need to have independent routing of the two signal paths. Okay, so let's start off by disabling oscillator two so that we can only hear oscillator one. And I'm going to change the wave shape to a square wave shape. The pulse…
