    Hi all,

    I need help, please: in your opinion, what kind of technique may I use to recreate the "bouncing ball" effect starting at 2:20 of this video?



    Does Colyn simply play with one LFO, two LFOs, or does he use a vst plugin (and, in case, what plugin), please?

    At 2:58 of this other video you can hear another example of what I'm looking for:




    Thanks in advance for every answer, Platoon

    This is mainly achieved by modulating the LFO speed.
    In the first example there's an additional delay at the end of each phrase (2:22, 2:30).

    It's just a modulated speed/rate on a tremolo. SineLFO on volume/amplitude.
    Two parameters are modulated - LFO speed and amount/range (tremolo dry/wet). There is also modulated/automated send amount to a pingpong delay.

    Here I am, sorry for delay... Thank you very much indeed for the anwers, I really appreciate them... I was analizing some plugins in order to duplicate this "bouncing ball" effect: LFO Tool, Cableguys Midishaper & Filtershaper, Ableton Live Auto Filter, and playing with LFO knobs directly on instruments, but I have some difficult to "regularize" increasement (or decreasement) of bouncing sounds (i.e. bouncing without wasting synchronization the bpm)... I'm working hard on it and I hope to find an acceptable solution, then I'll post it here.

    Thanks again for your availability, greetings, Platoon

    Download the manual for Make Noise Maths, there's a patch example in the back of it. Just duplicate it in your favorite synth.

    Bouncing Ball, 2013 edition thanx to Pete Speer
    Set CH. 1 Rise full CCW, Fall to 3:00, response to Linear. Set CH. 4 Rise full counter clockwise, Fall to 11:00, response to Linear.
    Patch CH. 1 EOR to CH. 4 Cycle Input, and Ch. 1 variable Output to Ch.4 Fall Input. Patch CH. 4 Output to VCA or LPG control
    Input. Patch a Gate or Trigger source, such as the touch gate from Pressure Points, to CH. 1 Trigger Input for manual start of
    "bounces." Adjust Channel 4 Rise and Fall for variations.

    That makes no sense unless you own a Maths module by MakeNoise. :) Good effort though.
    The examples in the OP is just modulated tremolo + delay.
