Pitchbend on leads & tapestop

[jontah]

Hey,

looking for this pitchbend effect on leads which most producers use today. but it ISN'T a tapestop effect from effectrix or so as far as I can hear.

How do you make these pitchbends?

You can hear it in this clip in the very end of the melody line:



And I'm also wondering how to get suddle tapestop effects such as this:

It doesn't completely stop the sound (like power off on a vinyl), but it kind of "slows" a sound down. As heared in for example these clips:



it's very suddle and doesn't completely stop the sound I guess, or its the only way I can describe it in.

Tips&tricks regarding this? and what plugins to use to make it? I've got Cubase 7.5, in Cubase 7.5 there's a new loopmash FX tool, which does the tapestop effect, but it becomes too extreme when using it on sounds. It kind of abrubtly stops everything , no matter what "quantize" setting I have on it. cheers!

I'm almost certain it has something to do with attaching the pitch to an envelope and having a short-ish decay, but i havent tested that myself

I doubt so, since it's ONLY in certain parts of the melody such as in the end of the phrase of the melody itself. So I'm guessing it's midi triggered. or pitchbed automated. But I don't get near it by automating pitchbend unfortunately. Nor using midi to trigger scenes in effectrix or dblue glitch.

I always automate the pitchwheel and set it to 12 or 24 semitones. For me it works quite good, but I'm sure there are plenty other possibilities to do that.
I think it works best when you take a note which is 1 whole beat long (or even longer, otherwise the effekt is too short to hear imo). Let the note be without pitching it for half a beat and then you let the pitchwheel getting started. The pitchwheel should be at 0 at the middle of the step and at -12 or either -24 at the end of the step (-24 for a strong tapestop effect, -12 for an slightly backgroundish effect). That should give you this tapestop thing.
Works for me at least

Such effects CAN be made with the glide function of your synth, Put it on portomento en then tweak your glide to your prefferences. This is 1 way

The pitchbend can be done super easily in sylenth, if you use it. Look at the bottom left corner and you will see the "roll". Also, there are effects that can do pitchbend aswell.
And for the slow tapestop effect. If you download dbBlue TapeStop (think its a free plugin), you have 3 knobs to play with. There you can set how slow it will stop the sound.

Tone slides/pitchbends with the synth thats it. Automate to how ever much you desire

I find that the easiest way to do this is to bounce my lead down to audio, chop it up and use the slow down function of the Fade tool in Logic on the very end of the section that I want to pitch bend downwards. This creates an interesting effect on kicks as well. There should be a way to do this in most DAWs.

It's called a pitch bend wheel. Tape stop is the same thing. Just a pitch drop, just set the range to be not as big and it will be subtle
