Take On Me

About This File

This is an attempt to copy the synth sound used by A-ha for the lead line in their song "Take On Me". Fortunately I had a sample of the sound for my Nord that I could dissect as opposed to trying to pull it from the song track. Spent a lot of time with the data editor for the PX-5S to create this, particularly the Hex Layer editing section, working with the wave forms and the filter and amp sections including the envelopes. The PX-5S has an amazing set of tools available for this kind of task...there are several paths one can take to mimic these kinds of sounds...it will be up to your ears to decide which way you like best. I am also downloading the phrase for the lead line which you can then use for this setting. I would be happy if some one comes up with a way to improve this setting, or better yet, creates settings or tones for the many other sounds from this synth-rich song. Maybe we can assemble one Stage Setting to cover all of them...

P.S. Per Wikipedia, this sound was originally created using a Roland Juno 60 MIDI'd up to a Yamaha DX7.
