Getting unique sounds

ur using reason u can put hella shit in the combinator and create your own sounds.
also every synth has tons of knobs and filters so just adjust a certain sound wave to the tune of your choice. its not hard to make a unique sound.
how do you think they come up with "sounds" all the presets were invented by sound designers probobly just running a simple wave through a bunch of filters in the synthesizer till it sounded right. its not that hard to make something unique.

Unique? Sound FX type noises or what? Fuck with the LFO's on your synths. You can do some nice modulations to your synth sounds if you know how to fuck with the LFOs.
You can try layering also like others have already explained. Maybe try reversing shit as well.
There's a nice lil VST effect plugin called "Glitch." Check it out, it's nice for mangling sounds up.

Its easy for me...just twist the 24 Knobs or 16 sliders and punch the 30 or so other buttons to change parameters...no menus...all in real time..no latency....ahhh. On a side note I had the Moog Voyager great synth for bass and leads..had some knobs and shit....but my Studio Electronics ATC has zero knobs anyaways it has so many presets with variations I never even touch the front panel..just the one knob...
Two easiest things for me to make unique and original sounds on were my xp-60 and my mp-7. It helps to know what the differences between waveforms and how they react to different frequencies. My suggestion is you first start with a sine wave and go from there. But when you talk about "unique" sounds what exactly are you talking about?
Mark...who are you kidding? You ARE old. hahaha!
On the real though, all you have to do is experiment. It depends on what you're using. Layer shit, go through the effects and have at it. You can youtube it, but you'd be limiting yourself to what somebody else knows. I'd say if you watch some videos, take what they give you and add your own vision to it.

To change the speed of a sound or percieved loudness, adjust the ADSR envelope. Or if it's some type of modulation, you usually have to adjust a LFO to adjust the intensity.
There's nothing wrong with starting out with presets, then adjust the sound to your likings afterwards. Just study how the presets are made, then you can make your own. Look at the waveforms and what not that are used to make certain sounds.
What do you mean by make it do patterns?
