Start with a blank slate<\/h2>\n<p>For BT, the musical end goal of a preset has a large influence on how he gets started. \u201cFor example, I\u2019d approach a complex pulsar train granular gesture in command line very differently to how I approach making a subtractive analog bass sound,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n<p>That said, being able to freely experiment with a synth&#8217;s essential components seems to be crucial for him when it comes to designing his own sound. \u201cThe first thing I\u2019m looking for in any synth is its inherent characteristics and peculiarities,\u201d he notes. \u201cMaking presets for me always starts with an Init patch.\u201d<\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6404 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/image4-1.png\" alt=\"how-to-create-custom-presets-bt-02\" width=\"1999\" height=\"1269\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/image4-1.png 1999w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/image4-1-400x254.png 400w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/image4-1-1024x650.png 1024w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/image4-1-355x225.png 355w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/image4-1-768x488.png 768w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/image4-1-1536x975.png 1536w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1999px) 100vw, 1999px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1999px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1999\/1269;\" \/><br \/>\n<em>Parallels\u2019 default patch<\/em><\/h6>\n<h2>2. Capitalize on the synth\u2019s strengths<\/h2>\n<p>Every software synth has its unique set of strengths, and discovering these early on can help take your presets to new heights. BT encourages \u201cletting a synth\u2019s design naturally guide [a user] towards what it excels at.\u201d After testing out all of the modulation sources, oscillators, and effect types that Parallels laid out in front of him, BT realized that the synth had a phenomenal reverb. \u201cIn a rare case, when I find an effect that has a unique character, I\u2019ll incorporate it into lots of my patches. I love the reverb in this synth, so that was the case here.\u201d Parallels\u2019 lush reverb shaped many of BT\u2019s presets, bringing them to life by introducing an ethereal spaciousness.<\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6409 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/reverb.gif\" alt=\"how-to-create-custom-presets-bt-04\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/338;\" \/><em>On many of his presets, BT modulates the reverb to create an evolving sense of space<\/em><\/h6>\n<h2>3. Save the effects for last<\/h2>\n<p>Despite his enthusiasm for Parallels\u2019 reverb, BT typically saves adding effects until the end of the process. \u201cUsually I explore OSCs and filters first and keep effects muted until I have a patch that sounds great without them,\u201d he explains. \u201cLots of presets in synths are actually terrible (in my humble opinion), but slathered with effects or overly complex arps &#8211; they sound cool, but are useless. I want to make sounds that can be used in anything, so I start by making a great patch that stands on its own without a lot of dressing up.\u201d<\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6403 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/image3-1.png\" alt=\"how-to-create-custom-presets-bt-03\" width=\"1676\" height=\"1060\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/image3-1.png 1676w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/image3-1-400x253.png 400w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/image3-1-1024x648.png 1024w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/image3-1-355x225.png 355w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/image3-1-768x486.png 768w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/image3-1-1536x971.png 1536w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1676px) 100vw, 1676px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1676px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1676\/1060;\" \/><br \/>\n<em>Parallels offers five effects, spanning <strong>distortion<\/strong>, <strong>chorus<\/strong>, <strong>flanger<\/strong>, <strong>delay<\/strong>, and <strong>reverb<\/strong><\/em><\/h6>\n<p>Do you have any tips of your own for creating custom synth presets?
