device (or capacitor?) to give dubstep woo wooo woo sine wave sounds?
« on: February 17, 2009, 06:19:49 PM »
I thought capacitors could do this, but I can never find a good place for a cap in a circuit - they never seem to change anything - suggestions?

You be about 1000% more specific?  ;)

What exactly is a dubstep 'woo wooo woo sine wave sound' and how are you trying to create it?

the woo woo woo sound is  a low base sine wave type of sound, sounds like a really slow rotating large fan I guess....I was kinda looking for capacitor suggestions as to where to use them in bending - on loops? glitches? pitch bends? body contacts? or line outputs?  I;'ve never gotten any noticable difference in sound whne using a capacitor.

Well this is going to sound a bit of a cop out but i honestly suggest you get hold of a book on basic electronics or find some tutorials from the net somewhere and find out how caps are used in circuits.

If i'm thinking about the same noise as you are it isn't done with simple electronics, or if it is it involves some kind of ADSR envelope which isn't as simple as you probably hope. You'll probably find its a layered sound with a sine or triangle wave for the low end, possibly with an amp envelope on it, and a top/mid range layer consisting of some filtered & detuned sawtooth or square waves, possibly with some distortion. Something like that anyway, i'm sure theres better tutorials on bass sounds on dubstep sites.

It's a filter with an LFO feeding it.  There's a bit more to it than just sticking a cap in ;-)

If at first you don't succeed, stick it through a fuzzbox.
