Having the Roland SH-4d synth for a few days now, I quickly created a pattern for dark ambient sounds. Part 1 consists of a supersaw wave, a square wave, noise, and a saw wave. The supersaw would have even been enough to create creepy ambient sounds but I wanted to add flexibility, so I could play with the mix of wave forms. In this video I tweaked this part from desert winds to helicopter sounds, from creepy textures to phone rings.
Part 2 is added after about 3:40 minutes and is the Bell 02 preset from the SH-4d factory presets. Part 3 starts at about 5:00 minutes and is the Juno 106 factory preset Glow Pad. Part 4 is still free for further experimentation, and there is also no rhythm part in this recording.
No external FX. I used Chorus, Delay, and Reverb from the synth.
There is a lot more that can be done in the ambient area, but I love this synth already now.
Recorded with Zoom LiveTrak L-12.
Disclaimer: I bought the synth from my own money. This video is not sponsored.
