*Envelopes and LFOs are your friends! By routing them to parameters like cutoff, pitch, or resonance you can add more depth to your patches.
*Adding another oscillator tuned to a different interval can make for more interesting sounds. Tuning up or down a fifth can make a sound a bit more aggressive.
*Tuning oscillators with the same waveform very closely together can give a nice phasing effect.
*Add some portamento to leads (or even chords??) to smooth out note transitions or give a sort of 'singing' feel.
*If your synth can process audio input, try looping the signal back in to be processed again! This was super popular for the MS-20 and Minimoog.
*Speaking of the Minimoog, you can approximate a PWM-square type sound by using two oscillators set to saw and reverse saw. Tune them close or far apart to get variations on the effect.
*If your gear doesn't support MIDI, syncing may still be possible! As long as you have a trigger input, you can use a drum machine or synth set to your master tempo to send a short pulse.
*If you're not familiar with sidechain, check it out! Having your bassline 'duck' when a kick is other percussion hits can add a feeling of motion or groove to your track.
*Another effect that can spice up a mix is bitcrush. Apply sparingly to subtly add grit, or go crazy to get some insane effects. This works best on either bass or drums.
*This is a test box. Don't worry about it.
* Wait, another sample box?? How does this flex stuff even work?
