Sampulator VS Surge XT

I am trying to figure out how to make sounds similar to the "Keys" section on this soundboard. I'm new to music production and I would love to learn how to make something that sounds similar as part of the learning process, but don't even know where to start dissecting a sounds like this!

Really cool, and I think I might use or integrate this, but I agree with > I find this tool an interesting concept, but I couldn't get through the initial step to create a 4/4 kick loop. There's too much internal state going on with no indicators about what's active or what mode I'm in that it feels more like a memory game than a fun music toy. Maybe it's not a coincidence I'm not a vim/emacs fan? :D I think it... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

Or maybe it'd be like using one of those online beat generators, but instead of dragging over from a fully opened menu you have to unlock them. https://splice.com/sounds/beatmaker or http://sampulator.com/. Source: over 2 years ago

Good stuff! I started getting in to this at the start of the year. Already had an old, dusty MicroKORG and MIDI interface to use it as a controller, but recently splashed out on a bigger controller as the Korg's tiny keys were hurting me - plus, I wanted something bigger to get better at piano! A couple of free soft synths I'd recommend are Surge XT, and Vital. https://surge-synthesizer.github.io/... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

Https://surge-synthesizer.github.io/ and https://asb2m10.github.io/dexed/ should work like a charm. Source: 10 months ago

To get the equivalent of a symphonic orchestra in your computer, the solution is basically money; you buy the instruments you need. In the case of synthesizers, things are much cheaper - if you put in the effort yourself. https://surge-synthesizer.github.io/ is excellent and could even be used if you wanted to make a more retro-style soundtrack.

Instead of Synth1, try https://surge-synthesizer.github.io/ . It's pretty much better in every aspect except for the UI which is going to look a lot more daunting to you ;). Source: 10 months ago

For the DW-8000, check https://www.fullbucket.de/music/fb7999.html . Alternatively, https://surge-synthesizer.github.io/ can use single-cycle waveforms (basically wavetables that don't change) which can get you close. Source: 10 months ago
