Instruments

Oboe/Bassoon

Creator: Solea

How to create:

• Select synthesizer or create a clone.
• Set the waveform to sawtooth
• Set the filter to lowpass and set the frequency to somewhere around 1200
• Change the LFO to pitch, and set the intensity to 5
• click on the ASDR envelope and set the attack, decay, and release to 0. Then, set the sustain to around 0.5.

Synthesizer settings for oboe

• In advanced options, set Classic Reverb to about the middle of the slider
• Click EQ and set the High and Mid EQs to around 20.

Advanced options settings for oboe

To make the oboe more realistic, use markers to increase the pitch LFO intensity on long sustains.

Example Sequence

Oboe 2

Creator: ewrruewc

How to create:

• Select flute or create a clone.
• Set the reverb to Classic (100%)
• Set the distortion to hornet (100%)
• Lower the mid and high Eqs to -10
• Lower the low Eq to -48

you will need to psuedo sustain for notes longer than a quarter note but it works well for shorter notes

Example Sequence

Bagpipes

Creator: spira.

How to create:

• Select synthesizer or create a clone.
• Set the waveform to sawtooth
• Set the filter to lowpass and set the frequency to somewhere around 1200
• Set the resonance all the way up to 10
• Change the LFO to pitch, and set the intensity to 5
• click on the ASDR envelope and set the attack, to 0.60, the decay to 0.90, the sustain to 0.60, and the release to 0

Synthesizer settings for bagpipes

• In advanced options, set Large Reverb to around 0.30
• Click distortion and set it to Hornet with an intensity of 0.55
• Click EQ and set the High EQ to around 9
• Set the detune to -1200 (optional)

Advanced options for bagpipes

Now, make a clone of the bagpipe, and set the detune to about 10-20 cents above the first synth. Layer both on top of each other to get the bagpipe sound.

Clarinet

Creator: ewrruewc

How to create:

• Select synthesizer or create a clone.
• Set the waveform to square
• Set the filter to lowpass and set the frequency to somewhere around 2200
• Set the resonance all the way up to 3
• Change the LFO to pitch, and set the intensity anywhere from 2 - 8
• click on the ASDR envelope and set the attack, to 0.10, the decay to 0.30, the sustain to 0.70, and the release to 0

• In advanced options, set Short Reverb to around 0.65
• Click distortion and set it to Hornet with an intensity of 0.25
• Click EQ and set the High EQ to around -35
• Click EQ and set the Mid EQ to around 15
