I'm interested to hear about different creative ways you guys make risers.
 
I'm not the biggest fan of risers, but if you really need them, with pitch automation and various oscillators, least one of them being some sort of noise. Plus crazy LFO effects, turn on your "random mode" and mess around with everything. That implying you're using a synth. I have done some interesting stuff with ableton's frequency shifter and random audio samples, it totally destroys the harmonics and sounds very dissonant but could be interesting in some situation. Add a little reverb or some stereo separation tools and you should be good to go.
 
Use a spectral EQ settings on white noise... then layer with any oscillator wave and add ultra fast LFO filter automation to make it sound as "cutting" the source. Set the resonance when automating the cutoff high, but beware as it will sound too harsh if rising to the highest end :P
Perhaps also sidechaining with the kick or anything... and don't make it tonal!
If that's still too boring, you can try adding some reverse samples or maybe edit and automate heavily a vocal tone? A strum? A sax?
