Members Fisnotigut Posted November 20, 2009 Members Share Posted November 20, 2009 What is modified in the opening chord of this? Filter? Resonance? Pitch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members evildragon Posted November 20, 2009 Members Share Posted November 20, 2009 Filter cutoff. Resonance is very high and that gives the whistly character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fisnotigut Posted November 20, 2009 Author Members Share Posted November 20, 2009 Thanks! Now I just need to get this programmed in my PC3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kpatz Posted November 20, 2009 Members Share Posted November 20, 2009 Can anyone ID the synth in the video? The best look at it is around 0:57. I can't figure out what it is. Whatever it is, it has rather horrendous stair-stepping in the cutoff knob, if that's what was used for that opening sound... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fisnotigut Posted November 20, 2009 Author Members Share Posted November 20, 2009 I started watching the video to see what they are playing until I noticed they weren't even PLAYING. But you're right. The cutoff change is BAD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Meatball Fulton Posted November 20, 2009 Members Share Posted November 20, 2009 "Let It Whip" came out in 1982, what synths had digital parameter controls then (Prophet, what else?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tim gueguen Posted November 20, 2009 Members Share Posted November 20, 2009 Its a P5, with the common "mod" of making a tape visor over the program number LED readout so you can see it under stage lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lerber3 Posted November 20, 2009 Members Share Posted November 20, 2009 But you're right. The cutoff change is BAD. Isn't the 'stepping' just filter resonating with harmonics of the underlying tone? I think there is a critical amount of resonance where some filters will 'ring' only at resonant frequencies... sweeping the filter produces discrete pitches. If you turn up the resonance further, then it will whistle at all frequencies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Franz Schiller Posted November 20, 2009 Members Share Posted November 20, 2009 I think it also might be a Prophet 10, because it looks like the keyboardist has his left hand on a lower manual. Also, from the camera pointed at the stage, the synth looks very deep. It also could be stack on a Rhodes or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes it is on a Rhodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kpatz Posted November 21, 2009 Members Share Posted November 21, 2009 I guess you're right, it is a P5. It's hard to tell with only one angle shot at the keyboardist. That said, the bass line sounds like a P5. Don't know about that resonant filter sweep, it seems to be to "steppy". Maybe they had just gotten their paws on a Prophet 600 for the recording...
