Zetamax Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 hi guys ... maybe some of you can help me ... I would like to recreate the initial pad of the pink floyd song "shine on you crazy diamond " ...has someone already tried? or does anyone have any advice to give me? I am so that it is not a simple sound to replicate but I am very sure that with this fantastic keyboard you can create a similar sound thanks in advance ..

AlenK Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Not specifically but I'm sure you did a Google search and found the following, which I'm posting here for benefit of others. There are hints given in these sources. https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=263737 http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=321328 https://forum.moogmusic.com/viewtopic.php?t=6487 One caveat: If it was originally done on a Minimoog as the sources seem to agree on, then the MX-X500 has one small problem right out of the gate: It doesn't offer a four-pole (24db/octave) lowpass filter setting (unlike, for example, the XW synths). Nevertheless, you should be able to get reasonably close even without that. PS. All the above concerns the lead sound, not the pad. My bad. But I'll leave it all there for posterity since the links are still useful for anyone interested in recreating that song in its entirety (minus all the guitar and singing parts).

First few seconds of this?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SqFPNTBnv8 Synth strings 1. Make sure to hit the correct keys needed for that big G minor chord. It spans several octaves. Use octave buttons. Edit the tone for a little slower attack and release and lower cutoff a little for less synthy sound. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlenK Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Oh my, my answer concerned the wrong synth sound. You wanted the pad sound not the lead sound. I have to learn to read better. The pad sound was apparently originally done with a strange mixture of two synths, an organ and even an audio recording, as described in the Wikipedia entry for the song. The link below also provides some hints about emulating it, just on the off chance that you don't find synth strings 1 to be close enough. https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=321328 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
