an old thread, but does any of you recognize the patch (assuming it's a preset or just mildly altered) in the beginning of this track .. ?

thanks !
Sounds like a Roland D-50 to me, although not a patch i'm familiar with

Re: Flute sound used in Propaganda "Frozen Faces"

I'm pretty sure it is Emulator Pan Flute. Almost any unembellished pan flute sample is going to get you close.

Re: WANTED Roland A80 contact strip/s

I also used the KCS10 strip (or one of them) to repair a damaged white key switch dome. I wrote about this repair on my blog, in case it is useful to anyone.

It worked so well that I am very curious about whether it would work for black keys as well.

Re: Roland A80 Midi Controller - Select Output Socket for a Zone

@scottie_uk, I actually just saw your 2008 post on Gearspace and answered you there, but now I see you got an answer last year here. Glad you got it resolved.

Re: ETI 4600 (Maplin 4600) Redesign to use modern chips.

Hi Mark, Welcome! I know just enough about electronics and synthesizers to recognize what a challenging project this must be, but also, how much fun! Definitely a labour of love. I've never heard of the ETI Maplin 4600 synthesizer. https://encyclotronic.com/synthesizers/maplin/eti-4600-r1429/ I'm re...

Re: Choir Sound?

I know they are different beasts but do you think the DSI Rev2 is really different to the Peak? So far the PEAK is sounding a touch more Juno 60 to me, maybe lol. Alas I have no experience of the DSI Rev2. The PEAK definitely nails the Juno sound if you want it to, but it is so much more than that....

Re: Choir Sound?

The example you provided isn't even a choir. That's pulse wave filtered, with heavy vibrato, a bit of chorus and too much reverb Sorry for butting in but I just wanted to say thanks for inspiring me to develop a beautiful fairlight/polysix choir patch on my Novation PEAK. A patch a day.... keeps th...

Re: Need Help Identifying Patch

I listened to the last minute of the track and it's pretty dense. I'm hearing a lot of what could be a clean electric guitar through a fast flanger or leslie type effect, and also there is one moment where I hear a kind of metallic "ping" that if I had to reproduce I'd probably go to my trusty Korg ...

I wonder what the final bid(s) will be, and what state they are in. Someone's dreams are about to come true. Perhaps they are members of this forum.

Re: LF something similar to POLYSIX SOUND

Is the Korg Legacy VST not a viable option here? In my experience, it sounds very close to the original.
