VM Blaster Beam

Post by Jo Beatz »

I tried to recreate the sound of the Blaster Beam (heard in Star Trek 1) and found the result quite cool. You need the free KString module and I recommend a lot of reverb on it with about 7 seconds decay.

Cheers!

Oh and I used also the free Autodafe Formant Filter.

Nice FX Patch. I haven't seen the first Star Trek movie in a few decades; not sure which sound you are trying to emulate. Also, is note 48 the correct note from the movie? That sounds familiar from someplace.

Up until I read this, I had assumed that the V'GER sound in ST:TMP was made by the Con Brio ADS 100.

Indeed, the working title of one of the presets in the Zeit Collection was "V-GER CON BRIO", changed to simply "V-GER" in the final Preset Pack.

Thanks for the link. I thought it was a sound effect, the sound of a blaster beam to accompany the visual beam from a weapon called a blaster.

Oh yes very close in your demo. Nice! With pleasure. I also always wondered what synthesizer the sound was made with and in the end it wasn't a synthesizer at all. :mrgreen:
