What is the definitive patch of your favorite vintage synth?

Post by Synthaholic » Fri Nov 02, 2007 2:39 am

Since a vintage synth usually becomes famous because of its sound, or by its use by a famous artist/popular song, perhaps we could make a list of the "definitive" patch or sound of each popular synth.

For example:

OB-Xa: "Jump" brass patch
DX7II: Full Tines
D-50: Staccato Heaven

Others?
Two VCO: thanks to the push rods, one can choose several forms of waves at the same time!

Yamaha: Motif XS6, TX802 Roland: D-550 Alesis: A6 Andromeda

My JX-3P has horrible, horrible presets...

As for my DX21, I like layering two E.Pianos together... it sounds richer than a DX7.

+1 for minimoog.

My favorite is "insect", though, which I made a few weeks ago on my SQ80. Not ubiquitous, but should be!

DX7= any clav, or the infamous Epiano (fulltines)
DX27 S= Brass 3 (curiosly, I don't choose preset B#01 Solid Bass, the same as Lately Bass).
Roland D10= Warm Pad Fade
Poly800= Preset 11 (with the two dco's sounding, EG2 must be edited)
Roland JP8000=Minimoog sound (don't remember exactly name, minisoared or something)
Roland JX-8P= Hi-Strings doubled one octave below with the blink unison mode.
Roland Promars, E-mu EMAX and some other machines...

Weird .. when I first saw this is looked the same .. but was a different show (David was wearing a yellow jacket).

It was just a bad.. maybe nothing went wrong... maybe they're just a bad band..
