Lead sound breakdown

[stormborn]

I'm looking for some help in creating something similar to the Minimoog lead sound at 0:33 in this video



I know I need to experiment, but if someone could give me a nudge in terms of waveforms, modulations, etc. it would be helpful.

Start with a couple of slightly detuned saw waves and set the filter about halfway open with a tiny bit of resonance; the amp EG should be set with a little bit of attack and release and sustain should be all the way up (in which case decay is irrelevant); route a bit of LFO to pitch via the mod wheel or aftertouch, turn on portamento, and that should just about do it.

Big Gnome sounds right on the money

[stormborn]

That does do it rather well - thanks

route a bit of LFO to pitch via ... aftertouch

that should be rather difficult on a minimoog

NS stick!

NS stick!

I'd love to have one

I want the standard 10 string chapman stick, beautiful tone.

Yeah, I just naturally assumed he'd be using something other than a minimoog. The point holds though.

I'm using my MG-1, so no mod wheel OR aftertouch

I had never heard or Eric Norlander until I viewed this thread. He's a contemporary "master of the MiniMOOG" -- a slightly less technical, yet more accessible, Keith Emerson -- and he was born the same year as me. I really like his mix of MiniMOOG, A6 Andromeda, Hammond Model D organ, and Mellotron on the Rocket Scientist tracks.

Thanks.

I noticed the player in the video appeared to be wiggling his fingers while playing. Maybe he wished he had aftertouch?

I can't decide what to think about him. He's consistently billed as 'virtuoso' but I don't hear that in his playing. However, his playing is tasteful, fits the songs, and his sounds are excellent. I really enjoy the Rocket Scientists albums.

yeah. then realizing, "oh, right, it's the mod wheel that does that sound"
