Members Bach42t Posted June 21, 2008 Members Share Posted June 21, 2008 I am trying to find that perfect synth that will give me the sweet crunchy low dark sound in "Don't You Know What the Night Can Do", the "Valerie" solo and accompaniment as well as the synth in "Finer Things", basically want a synth that will accompany music like Winwood's 80s material. Any of these? AndromedaProphet '08Poly Evolver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members b3keys Posted June 22, 2008 Members Share Posted June 22, 2008 For the lead sound on the original Valerie and While You See A Chance, Steve used a Minimoog. Later, this sound was replicated on Finer Things and the Valerie Remake (Greatest Hits) using a Yamaha DX7. String sounds on the earlier albums were done using the Prophet 5. In fact, the entire Arc Of A Diver record is filled with Prophet 5 presets. So, to answer your question, if you want an analog synth, any of the ones you listed, should be able to provide you with these sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mate_stubb Posted June 22, 2008 Members Share Posted June 22, 2008 It's a couple of sawtooth waves in close tuning so that they phase, a static filter mostly open, a slightly slow attack, and appropriate saxaphone phrasing and pitch bending. Go ye therefore forth and program it on whatever is at hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, you should be able to get that sound on any 2-oscillator analog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tspit74 Posted June 22, 2008 Members Share Posted June 22, 2008 He also uses that great lead sound on George Harrison's "Love Comes to Everyone". The key is that saxophone phrasing using the pitch bend wheel (which I'm absolutely hopeless at doing well). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
