Title: Denny's Holy Man Synth Post by: Sam_BFC on December 06, 2008, 12:10:13 PM Hey guys
I just love the synth sound on Holy Man and was hoping to get some detail on it so I can try and reproduce it...I'm guessing he would have used a vintage moog synth? So how would one program oscillators etc to get that sound? I'm talking what wave shape, any filters LFOs etc and stuff like that. Any help/info will be gladly received :) Thanks Sam Title: Re: Denny's Holy Man Synth Post by: Jonas on December 06, 2008, 02:44:42 PM I dont think anyone here can give you any specific parameters, your best bet is to sit down on the moog and just play with it til you get a similar sound/something you like.

If you actually have a real Moog, the joy of owning one should get you over not figuring out the sound. I fooled around with my MicroKorg to try to get a similar sound, it's a pretty straightforward sound. Just a square wave, some high-end rolled off, plenty of portamento. Seems pretty mono, no ring modulation or anything. But those synth patches tend to sound way different soloed. I've heard a mix of Disney Girls with the count in left on the front end, and there's a pick-up synth note that they edited out, and it's way, way buzzier than you'd think.

Unfortunately I am not able to get my hands on a real moog at this time so I will be using the "softsynths" found in Reason and Logic hehe....still good fun though :) Title: Re: Denny's Holy Man Synth Post by: SurfRiderHawaii on December 12, 2008, 12:45:09 PM Reason is a bit limited as far as retro synth sounds. I use Reaktor as well but the best 'synthulators', in my opinion, come from Arturia.

Moog bass: Dennis Wilson Mini-Moog synthesizer: Dennis Wilson ARP synthesizer: Dennis Wilson ARP String Ensemble: Dennis Wilson (sped-up then slowed-down) I believe emulations for all these are available from Arturia. |
