Dumb question, but does anyone know what the synth at 0:39 is called?

Or at least a specific search query? I'm fairly new to music production and Im going crazy trying to find it XD.

Dear all,

Thank you so much for everyone that will take the time to read this and help me with any kind of suggestion.

First let me introduce briefyl myself, I am a long time "standard" Dj still using Vinyls and slowing opening to "Digital Era" after buying a Pioneer Stand Alone XDJ-RX3 to stand alongside the Turntables. Lately I also started my trip to music production by buying, in the last 2 years, a Digitakt II and a Minlogue XD with the idea to create my first DAWless hobby music production angle. I liked a lot the Digitak II as well as the Minilogue XD as my first synth, but at some point I feel the needs to create more punchy basses for house/techno/soundtrack and, pushed by a shop assistant, I bought a MOOG Messenger.

Admitting that I am not et all an experienced users and that I did not take so much time learning the Moog Messenger, I have to admit that after the first Enthusiastic period, I found myself not really happy with it for basically 3 different reasons:
-Despite the sound is great at first, I found it some time too much aggressive and too much "standalone" as if it constantly try to sound over or the rest of the song instruments.
-I did not tolerate the lackness of any screen and numeic parameters like instead it is on the Minlogue XD. What I am trying to say is that i really like, when moving one knoob, to actually see the numeric parameter change a numeric value so i can be super precise in my settings, Like choosing the right Tempo or the exact amount of tune/detune.
-Despite I found the Messenger to be quite intuitive to use at first (like 1 knob per function), i then lost interest in it because i found not intuitive et all trying to dig into the more advanced features and settings, giving me the impression of an overall too complicate Synth for my actual needs.
-Ok this is a minor things but the Messenger is quite too big for my Desk so a smaller intrument could be a benefit.

Saying that I have the chance to sell the messenger for an honest price and i have in my mind to buy the Novation BassStation II as a substitute. My questions are:
-Am I doing a really WRONG move? Like selling a treasure to buy some trash just because i am not really take the right time to learn it?
-Have you any Toughts about the Novation Bass Station II, like it can have good an punghy basses or it is way to similar to the Minilogue XD (I found the Minilogue amazing but for basses it is quite flat)?
-have you any alternative to the Messenger that can be fulfill my needs?

Thank you so much!

Working on a new voice section for the EH-01.

It’s a little formant-based voice engine with vowel morphing, breath/noise, vibrato, glide, and different voice characters like soprano, choir, ghost, and more synthetic tones.

You can shape it with the knobs, record it internally, then instantly play the recording back as a sample from the keys.

Still rough, but it’s turning into one of the more interesting parts of the project.

Hi everyone,

I have this short reggae drum loop and I’m trying to identify the shaker sound.

I’m especially trying to find out which original drum machine it may come from. My guess is that it could be from the 80s or late 80s / early 90s digital reggae era, but I’m not sure.

The sound is very soft, smooth and filtered. Bright, but not harsh. It has that digital reggae / dancehall texture, not a modern acoustic shaker sound.

I know I can probably find similar sounds in sample packs, but I’m more interested in tracing the original drum machine or source that could have generated this type of shaker.

Does anyone recognize this kind of shaker? Could it be from a specific drum machine, or maybe a common 80s reggae / dancehall production tool?

Any help identifying the source, or explaining how to recreate that soft texture, would be appreciated.

Thanks!

this is probably stupid but i have been more into music production lately than ever, which means buying electric instruments and one of the first i bought just recently was the eastar EWI. the only reason i had a desire (other than also having genuine curiosity because i don’t have much experience at all with wind instruments in general), was because i was going to dedicate everything in me to learn the intro of False God by Taylor Swift from her Lover album. plz. i needed it. it’s my guilty pleasure from coding 16 hours a day.

anyway, i’ve tried to build my own AI at this point because i literally just can’t familiarize myself with the fingerings (alto saxophone), i started piano young, grew into guitar and bass, moved to drums, and this is an entirely different ballpark for me. i love that it’s a midi piece as well and the breath control feature is so nice, love all the tones and the reverb and the pitch bend, but for the love of god…. i would literally cash app or venmo someone who can give me tabs to play just the intro of that song. i’ll link it if you don’t know it. I’m so desperate. i practice every single day. i have made it a goal to make at least two songs a day to learn more about daw software / physical instruments and how to track them thru audio interfaces and effects and plug-ins for experience and experimenting. PLEASE. IF IT IS POSSIBLE… IM BEGGING FOR SOMEONE TO HELP ME… it’s Seven Seconds Long. the pure joy i would have from learning just the intro would cure me of my corporate misery.

i love music so even if this gets 0 replies i will still be in an attempt to learn it. it just might take 20 years and that’s okay

link to False God by Taylor Swift is attached to this post: (0:00 – 0:07)
