Korg Z1 – Vangelis twist

Posted by Higen

Well.. after gotten som inspration on youtube, i wanted to check out how the korg z1 would do the vangelis lead used in chariots of fire and blade runner (you know.. the yummyha cs80 lead :) )..

anyway.. here is what i got after probably a hour work :P

Korg Z1 - Vangelis lead

2 OSC using saw, with a slight detune from each other.
vibrato LFO on the patch to get it swinging. filter envelope and amp. envelope.

using serial filter in the z1. maybe i will try the same on the nova, to se how it does the sound.

Korg Z1

Posted by Higen

Well.. long time no see.. stuff have happend..
one of the thing is that i traded in the MC909 against a korg Z1.. why you might as!

because the sampler part (which was the main reason for getting it) was to simple for me.. i need something in the emu league... Akai mpc whould probably do it.. but the price is out of reach.. PLUSS i wanted a good keyboard to push.

Anyway.. here is a patch i dialed up while playing with the korg z1.. and i must admit that this synth is rather impressive.. you can do so much.. and it has such a big sound range!

Patches made with Softsynths and creamware

Posted by Higen

Just a pad made with NI pro-53, no effects applied.

Pro-53 PAD 1

A bass line made with the Miniscope on the creamware platform. Sounds good.. i should get the minimax, it would blow my mind! :D
Miniscope on Creamware

A short pad made quickly on the U Know 007 on the creamware platform. Sounds good aswell...
after playing with the creamware.. i realize that the NI plug (pro 53) just sounds lifeless :( .. i will continue using creamware instead. :)
Juno 106 on Creamware

Another pad made with the Orion by Zarg Custom 3.0 on the scope platform. very classic, but i must admit i love the sound.. sooo high quality

[EMU e6400 Ultra] Higen Warm Pad 1

Posted by Higen

E-mu e6400 Ultra

The patch is using a kind of reverbish delay on the rfx32.

To build the patch i created a base on my nova consisting of 3 osc.
osc 1: saw
osc 2: pulse width mod -> lfo1
osc 3: pulse width mod -> lfo1+lfo2

and some tweaking to get the sound to be a bit dynamic.

then i sampled it down, and got it into the emu (one C3 samples, and one C4 samples). using about 8 sec of sampling on each.

I looped them, added some corde settings. and lo pass+peakshelf filter.

Midi A = filter cutoff
Midi B = filter reso.

PS! the patchfile should be renamed to B.000-... its the blog up-loader that destroys the filename
