Brad Saucier Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 File Name: Ridin the Storm Sawtooth Intro - REO SpeedwagonFile Submitter: Brad MZ PXFile Submitted: 12 Aug 2013File Category: PX-5S Stage SettingsI made this sawtooth wave Stage Setting for the intro to Ridin the Storm Out by REO Speedwagon. This should get you through the entire intro of the song. To perform the intro, I was starting by adjusting the resonance on slider 2 to get right level of nastiness before play. I then hit the low A note and slowly adjusted slider 1 for cutoff to get the nastiness too sweep. I set slider one to max out at the right spot. BTW: I have chorus on the mod wheel if you like to add some move it all the way up. Portamento will sweep you up to the next high C note but to turn around and bend back down to the high A you'll need to use the bender wheel. I set the bender to stop at the right spot. Then adjust slider one back down to lower the cutoff and then release the note to fade out. I hope you enjoy.

Joe Muscara Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Funny, I've never heard the original version with the other vocalist. I'm much more familiar with the version with Cronin singing. Which version do you guys think of when you do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 I have to make a sad confession. I've never heard the song or at least don't remember if I did. For those who don't know, I made this Stage Setting to help out a fellow PX5 owner. I made the sound based on the version he posted for me. This version has some extra synth goodness at the start of the intro. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPk4EX2GDc0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Muscara Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Ha ha - that's cool. It sounds like a live Kevin Cronin version. I wonder when it's from since the video page shows no info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 I don't know about the date Joe. But something just dawned on me after looking at some other live versions. That synth sound at the very beginning is supposed to be the stormy "wind" sound. Duh. If I had realized that when I made the stage setting I would've gone for a more authentic wind sound.

Joe Muscara Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I hadn't even thought about that. But I would think most would want it to sound like REO does it. You could always do a Riders on the Storm with one layer being the storm and another being the EP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 REO performed the wind thing live like that in one of the videos. But, It's like you asked before Joe. Which version does everyone think of? That would be the one I would perform. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4T5gjIiLRCg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As aside when playing covers with various bands I am nearly always asked to play the studio version as this is usually the one most people are familiar with.
