fuck

could be 2nd layer from Rubycon patch

Hmm after listening a lot to Industrial Revolution part 2 I was wondering, what Jarre used for the brass sound that follows the solo. First the D-50 came to my mind, but then I realized that it sounds quite Rendez-Vous-ish as if it was the Synthex.
Since it might be a preset question, I suppose someone has a simple answer

For Calypso 3 Fin de Siècle's guitar solo in the end, is it the sound engine of the Ax-Synth ?
I need to find such a sound

[radek tymecki]

distsync or kinda sound from korg m1/m1r

can be easily found on korg legacy m1

The AX-Synth does have a nice feedback guitar preset. You can actually hear it in some of the demos on youtube.

Okidoki, I'll try to find it on my M1 Legacy, thx Radek
And thanks for the link Jakob, this sound AWESOME

[Jakob BC]

Indeed! Im looking forward to the release. Hopefully I can find a job soon to get some money (well at least Im working on at this moment)
According to some youtube videos, it seems like it has been released in some parts of the world. Unless those are some kind of promos or test releases.

[Nico_Noyau]

Hm I guess those are promo, the Roland guys told me they wouldn't sell anything worlwide before very late June.
I had in my hands one of these, this is great, but I am not a fan of the design though


@Radek : do you have the name of the exact patch on the M1 Legacy?

[Jakob BC]

Wasn't the original sound of the Korg T3?

[radek tymecki]

i know it was in m1r for sure!

try distsync or sth like that Nico.... or try my modified patch anyway

[Nico_Noyau]

Thanks for the patch, Radek
Yeps I'm sure too this was the M1, I heard it too


About the Chronologie 2 "talked" parts, there is a difference between the tour version and the album version, on the album this is the EH TalkingPedal used, and on the tour, this is a VP330 or VP550 used, I'm pretty sure of it
About Calypso 3: Fin de Siècle, I'm still unsure, this really sounds like the album (EH TalkingPedal)

[Jakob BC]

Well I was thinking on the original sound. The M1 could have some sounds from the T3 or the other way around. I was just sure that the original guitar patch wasn't from the M1. Argh fawk it I don't know much about those two keyboards anyway

Regarding the talking pedal, it was difficult to hear it in Aarhus as well, but I remember it to be identical to the original though. I think they used some original parts. For some reason it cannot be heard at the breakdown on the Malmö recordings.

But... Exept from that sound (and perhaps some of the synthsounds) and the idea of it being a keytar, the thing actually sucks, imho. I don't like it's looks, I don't like it's midish soundbanks, and you can only modify a few parameters trough USB... Not my cup of tea, I prefer a keytar to be a midicontroller...

[Jakob BC]

Well I shall be the first then to say that Im crazy about how it looks. It has a longer neck and actually looks like an axe. The AX1 and AX7 are very cool, but I have alays been more into edgy design. So on that side I prefer the AX-Synth. Besides that. MIDI-ish sounds? What de la funk is sir talking about? Yeah right I prefer to program my own sounds, just like most of us do, but that doesn't make it sound "MIDI"-ish. Still this one has some nice sounds that would be something different from my VA-setup. Secondhand AX1/AX7 cost almost as much as the AX-Synth is going to cost. That's also a reason for me to choose the new one.
We can beat the dead horse, but it's a matter of taste here

[Jarp2600]

You liked the (solo)strings, brass, flutes, piano's? Well, perhaps some of the organs may be useful, but nothing new, a €200 soundmodule does the same job. Maybe "midish" is a bit too strong, but it sounds awfully digital, after all...
