Convincing White Noise From Sinewave Sample

Recipe:

  1. Add 2 x “Distortion 2” filters, both on Fold mode, both on 100% Drive.
  2. Play a sinewave at some base note, and another at a semitone above that.

It’s very useful for non-looping white noise with a very minimal footprint on your filesize. Put Filter 3 with an LFO on it and you can synthesise any sound from helicopter blades to ocean waves, kick drums (a very tight Butterworth 8n with a custom LFO set to a sharp exp. decay) to snares and hihats; it’s wildly versatile.
