The Real MC Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Messing around in my studio. I don't often layer piano with other patches, but this one is really inspiring. Kurzweil piano (the old 1000PX) layered with a celeste I dialed up on my OB-X8, playing Saga "No Regrets". No effects. Not exact (playing from memory), mistakes included, I'm human dammit. adstudios-demo-cover-saga-no-regrets-720.mov 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice studio and sweet sound you got @The Real MC I just happened to also be programming a layered AP last week and got a nice 80's/90's ballad sound. I'm a sucker for these type of sound and can never seem to get enough variations of them. 😆 AP_EP.mp3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its so iconic, they can't leave it out.... You were right David. I just came across the "Fanta Bell" sample in my Super-JV, and checking old user manuals confirmed that the sample was also in the "non-Super" JVs (JV80, 90, 1000 etc). Roland dulled it with a thick layer of other samples in their ROM patches to the point where the body and punch of the U-20 "Fanta Bell" was all gone. Turning off those extra layers brought the patch much closer to the U-20 version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEB Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 FTW! … Native Digital Dance. Maybe you had to be there. When I heard the D-50 in 1987 I had to have it. Eric Persing is a genius. Layering the D-50 with TX synths was glorious. I still have that D-50 but these days I use the D-05 if I want my D-50 sound library. 1 1 Quote "It doesn't have to be difficult to be cool" - Mitch Towne "A great musician can bring tears to your eyes!!!

CyberGene Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Digital Native Dance is arguably the most impressive worthless patch 😀 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEB Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 That patch was actually used on a lot of recordings. Often you didn't use all the partials or hold notes long enough to let the patch run its full course. I don't recall ever using it on a job though. Here is some tunes. LOL 1 Quote "It doesn't have to be difficult to be cool" - Mitch Towne "A great musician can bring tears to your eyes!!!

Turning off those extra layers brought the patch much closer to the U-20 version. "Fantasia" was inevitable once that form of layering appeared. Its a meaningful moment in synthesis. Previously, you could only make that kind of sound happen with serious studio time & gear. Jon Anderson multi-tracked his arse off making "Olias of Sunhillow," whose main "big string sound" is now easily had within just one of any number of synths. It would be considered an eye-roller to use "Fantasia" now, but its example paved the way to a lot of what we take for granted now.

"Soundtrack" still brings me chills to this day. 😃 Speaking of laying D-50 with TX, this song has D-50 and DX7 written all over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AROIOS Posted January 7 Author Share Posted January 7 Was watching UK keyboardist Andre Louis playing with some KORG plugins earlier on YT, and this combi caught my ears. Had to find it on my TRITON EX and share it. It's called "Where Are You?" PAD - TritonEX, Where Are You.mp3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
