Bass - Treble :: Rhythmic Chopping

edited December 2021 in General App Discussion

Hi,
Many of you know me as that pesky violin player trying to use his iPad and AUM to come up with some pretty sweet sounds; including MIDI

I’m working on some patches in AUM to create a very rhythmic “bass - treble” groove. I am bowing the bass notes, and then percussively chopping the top 2 treble strings.

THE SOUND I’M AFTER: I want the low bass notes to be something like an 80s bass synth. I’m using RoxSyn (right now i’m not lovin’ the sound, but it’s not terrible). THEN….. I want the treble string CHOPS to sound to something like a snare, and I’m not even close.

I’m having trouble separating out the sound coming into AUM into bass vs. treble. You can see the screen shot below with FabFilter Q. When I play the highest violin strings….it still produces some lower frequencies and vice versa. [someone suggested trying FabFilter Q in another post]


You can see the picture above - that a TON of higher frequency sound is being generated. This filter is on the ‘snare’ or the Treble channel….with the idea of filtering out the Bass or lower strings. But as you can see, when I play the bass or lower strings, the sound is still getting through to the ‘snare’ treble channel.


this picture above is the Bass or lower strings channel. I’m playing the two top or higher (treble) strings, at A=440Hz and E=659 Hz….. you can see here…..there isn’t much lower frequency noise being generated when I play the higher strings (treble). The opposite isn’t true (see above)

I WONDER if putting some type of string dampener might prevent the open strings I’m not playing from vibrating. I’ve seen these on guitars a lot (mostly for metal), but not on violins.

I have the audio recording attached…… PLEASE listen to it. It’s not great (the playing as well is pretty poor); but you can get the idea of what I’m trying to do.

I also have a video link here: https://axe-fx-iii.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/ChopMaster-AJ.mp4

SoOOOoooo PLEASE IDEAS
* on better separation of the bass vs. treble strings
* on a better bass synth sound (especially some more sustain on it)
* also on ideas for an 80s HiQ type sound that’s analog
Thanks!!

You can see all of the channels
