2418.0. "synth sound effects" by MILKWY::JANZEN (Commerce settles on every tree) Wed Aug 15 1990 18:06

    What are some ideas for rain making on a TX81Z?  I need continuous
    white noise, OK, occassional short swells, I can do that by hitting
    more keys on that sound.
    I need plunks on a rain gutter, that's a sort of metalic hit.
    I need crackle maybe. lite.
    I heard some rain on TV the other night, and it occurred to my that
    it was probably electronic.
    What other sound effects have you invented on a synth and how?
    Tom

	You might want to experiment with the S/H (sample and hold) argument to the LFO, at a fairly quick rate, for the sound of rain. The TZ should be able to do a metallic plunk pretty easy. I think I've got something (somewhere!) that may work for you... Edd

	I have rain and thunder in My Super Jupiter, but mapping an analog patch into the FM domain might nonstraightforward (crookedbackward?) len.

	I've got a patch that sounds like a frying output transistor. Great fun during sound checks! ("Who's getting ready to smoke?") Anyhow, I'm sure it could be tweaked into rain. Edd
