I thought it was a word play on "cyanide"

Vibe, eh? I see what you did there.

Right, so I've been trying to put together a sort of electro-symphonic sound: a combination of acoustic string sections with intentionally artificial sounding solo instruments like electric bass, a grand piano processed through an audio phaser, and synthesizers. One that I've been playing with is this super fun minimoog emulator:

One of my favorite sounds so far involves setting two oscillators to produce sine waves at adjacent octaves (meaning one is double the frequency of the other), with a somewhat slow attack. Then just for fun I pipe it through the same audio phaser and reverb as my grand piano, and I get this lovely smooth as glass waahhh waaaaAAAhhh wwaahh sound. I'm still trying to figure out how to use the Low Frequency Oscillator to give it a nice vibrato.
So yes, as it turns out
I'm the one with sine waves in my head. Now if I could ever get around to actually arranging something, I could post it on these forums instead of trying to describe it with words
Michael Willis, if you're after an electro-symphonic sound, be sure to check out the
Kaiyoti Bank for
Synth1, if you haven't already. Here's a
demo. It's pretty insane.
Sorry for the off topic.
Imitative Synthesis is the subforum best suited for talking electro-symphonics, so feel free to carry on there.
