Re: D-50 Sound Track Patch on Super JV?

It is strange how this exact patch is so hard to find a patch sheet for on internet. I can find patch sheets for loads of other random sounds but not this one, so I could just input the parameters into my synth. Well I have the sysex for the patch, so I can open it in a D50 editor (eg SoundDiver) t...

Re: D-50 Sound Track Patch on Super JV?

I think the key component that makes this sound, and what seems to be missing in the JV-2080/XV-3080/5080, is the fact that the Saw wave in both the D-10 and D-50 can be Pulsewidth modulated. Yes. It's the one thing missing (as I talk about in the first version of this thread) - and it's why I was ...

Re: D-50 Sound Track Patch on Super JV?

Sounds like the lower tones of the D50 patch have more release than the xv recreation. Are your envelopes adjusted correctly? The D50 patch really rings out, while the xv is much more restrained. A little more release might help a lot. As I said, this isn't my recreation yet, it's a posting of my w...

Re: D-50 Sound Track Patch on Super JV?

Ok, so here's a few audio example to see where I'm coming from: This is a sample of the D-50 Soundtrack - it's from a sample set so a bit static, and it wasn't sampled with FX so I added a bit of reverb for comfort. But you can hear the fairly unique, interesting character of the patch (first three ...

Re: Brad Fiedel - Fright Night II SCORE 'Come To Me'

Sounds like a DX7 bass, some analog part for the synth/piano-like arpeggio riff, so could be the OB-8 or Voyetra but it's not a super unique sound...

Re: D-50 Sound Track Patch on Super JV?

I am referring to GM:098, which is a VERY good approximation of the original D50 patch. The 'Soundtraque' one isn't great. Yep, I know the exact patch you are referring, and I mentioned it (along with a reference to the other Soundtraque patch) in my original post on the topic, and yes, it is an ap...

Re: D-50 Sound Track Patch on Super JV?

So, yeah, exactly this was a pet project of mine for a while (which I haven't been back to for ages). There's a thread on here about it I'll dig out in a sec:- Edit: http://www.vintagesynth.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=33064 I love that patch, and wanted to see whether it could be recreated on my X...

Re: Looking For A New Synth

What kinds of sounds are you after? What kind of music are you making, and what role is the keyboard going to play? (Ie, do you just want to play mono lead/bass lines, or do you want to play piano parts? Do you want the keyboard to be a whole backing band and writing/recording tool, or will you be u...

No it's not, in the photo it's a VP/K keyboard, which was part of the next generation of Sync - the GUI features the previous generation Sync II.

Re: Favorite use of the Synclavier?

AND!!!! There's a genuine VST emulation on the way: https://www.synclavier.com/ Arturia Synclavier? Arturia's site is also down for maintenance (also 19th May, like announcement above) and someone has already spotted new instruments in their software updater...
