Your favourite way of creating high-pitched sounds

Right now I modulate sines like so:

Because using a higher pitched saw really gets boring after a while:

(Note that Filter freq is bound to key and it doesn't represent actual cutoff).

I can't for the love of god recreate those amazing 'analog' sounds (championed by Prefuse 73, Dorian Concept). Adding feedback to OSC 2 can help me really boost a certain harmonic, but obviously it's not the root note that gets the boost.

I'm going to go and play around with gluing a few synths together and repitching lower-frequency material.

I've heard some great circuit-bent sonics. How do you make your high-pitched sounds?

today i've been running samples through a bunch of delays, sampling, and finding good loop points. idk what i'll do tomorrow yet. thanks for the reminder that i need to get my circuit bent crap out again. maybe i can find some high-pitched stuff there.

Its like you open a sample, try to find a good ping pong loop, and end up making the end point way close the start position. Love that shit. Automate

I just go "eeeeeeeeeeeeee!" in a silly voice.

CAts, Kittens if i have them.

bats are better.

that's true but you need a batbox to hear them.

On a side note i did once use a bat detector to record beyong hearing frequencies. the insides of computers(the fans and HD) sound particluy good.

Any time metal moves against metal it seems to produce ultrasonic sound

I like to use Crystal Vsti (free) for creating high pitched (or not) pads. That's a pretty good instrument

That's cool. *adds http://home.earthlink.net/~bat-detector/Scanner/ to to-make list*
