podmed Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I am trying to get the massive ARP sound that is at the 43 second mark of "Funeral For a Friend / Love Lies Bleeding." Any hints on how to get this ? I'm using a Nord Stage 2. Thanks! Nord Stage 3-88, Kronos 2-61, DSI OB-6, Roli Seaboards / Blocks, Crumar Seven / Mojo61, iOS apps, Arturia Lab 61...

Delaware Dave Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I used an Oberheim patch in my Ensoniq when I played this years ago. Did the same thing with my GEM Equinox. 57 Hammond B3; 69 Hammond L100P; 68 Leslie 122; Kurzweil PC3; M-Audio Code 61; Voce V5+; Neo Vent; EV ELX112P; GSI Gemini & Burn Delaware Dave Exit 93 Band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 From what I've read, that synthesizer part was created by multi-tracking a monophonic ARP 2500. I played this piece in a cover band a couple of years ago, and my Prophet 08 (with a bit of reverb) was capable of recreating this sound nicely. What's remarkable about this sound isn't it's complexity, but the overall richness of the tone. I hate talking about "fatness" with synthesizers, but it is inevitable with this sound. I don't know anything about the Nord Stage 2, but perhaps someone who does can talk to you about starting with a basic "analog brass" type of patch and tweaking it from there. Some synthesizers will only ever be able to create relatively weak approximations of a sound like this.

mate stubb Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Unfortunately, your Nord Stage synth doesn't have that rich sound. Believe me, I've tried! The filters are just cold and clinical. The hex layer synth in my Casio PX-5S ironically does have this sound - I'll bet it would do a great job.

Dr 5ives Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I am using the "Saw Ensemble" on a Korg PS60 It does a decent job, best guess would be the saw waves with chorus or detuning or even a chorus pedal.

The Real MC Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Years ago I pulled it off with my Oberheim M6R and Moog Source tied to bass pedals. I faded in the strings using polyAT on my Kurzweil MIDIBoard, which was a really cool use for polyAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr 5ives Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Thanks Yorgatron, funny enough, that's how I remember what part is next, by "hearing" the band playing along best D Veni Vidi Vici Vice Versa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr 5ives Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 You're more talented and co-ordinated than me.

Dr 5ives Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Thanks Joe, I like the Invisibles as you can place the keys very close like an organ manual, also the top keyboards stay level. A lot of current stands will have the upper keyboard lopsided. best to You D Veni Vidi Vici Vice Versa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
