Now, I've heard some music with very good usage of the sequencer. Some are so good I can't recognize what instrument is what, the sounds blend or something. idk. Anyways, I'm into orchestral music and stuff; well, music in general, but some things I need help on. A list of stuff that I want to learn to 'produce' or substitute: -Trumpets, I know I can use the concertia (?), but is there anything that can be put together for a good trumpet sound? -Orchestral strings, I know there's synth strings, but there was a level somewhere, and one song had very nice sounding strings and such, unlike the technoish feel when I use synth string. How do I make a natural sounding not-so-technoish string sound? -Flute, again I think I heard a good flute sound, but probably could be bells or such. -Timpani, aka big booming drum, is it just making a reverbed percussion kit? -French Horn, doubt it be possible but hey who knows? -Organ, I need a good organ-ish sound... Umm yeah, if any of these can be solved, that will be VERY appreciated.

How do I make a natural sounding not-so-technoish string sound? I specifically heard a good violin noise in a Zelda level, but it was from the beta, so anything from it is lost and I don't know the creator. Dissapointing, because I really need a good violin or strings sound too.

Dissapointing, because I really need a good violin or strings sound too. Now that you mention it, I did hear it in a Zelda song... *thinks* ! Oh yeah! I remember not long ago playing a level in the retail game by a certain 'cortster12' or so and hearing the strings. I think I asked that guy about the strings but I haz no reply...

... I can tell you something very obvious you might not have tried yet. ~Cuzco Something also obvious is that he hadn't the move pack when he posted.... a year ago. : P

Combining two channels of the same instrument, but with one them having the notes' treble shifted, can lead to interesting results with string like instruments. Also, play with reverb and L/R balance settings. Keep in mind that a single note rarely sounds as good as a chord. I'd play with chords first before worrying about what intrument combo sounds best. Perhaps inspirational (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=65315-Craftworld-Aleste-Some-music&p=952990)? (various non-Move and Move instruments combined, about 5 - 8 unique instruments total per song) Edit: also, perhaps this helps. 2nd row is base, 4th and 5th (and 7th or the first half) leading instruments and 6th and 7th (2nd half) are background strings+aahs. I'll put this track up on youtube soon. http://id.lbp.me/img/ft/a3de56172be78884cf2860882503c67037aa25db.jpg
