Whalebone Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Would love to see someone attempt that classic synth from Floyd's Any Colour You Like... Been trying like hell since i got this synth, but cant get it quite right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maarkr Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 they used the EMS V3 synth for that song... did u try mixing some sine and square wave layers for that? I may split the keyboard and have one half setup with the section that sounds like thirds... i made some Floyd sounds for the XW... there are so many different synths used in those songs it's hard to keep up with.

Whalebone Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 Thanks maarkr! I have tried combining those. There is just a certain smoothness i cant get. Maybe its just not achievable without the EMS V3, but if you ever get any extra time, i would love to add some more Floyd sounds to my attempted inventory...

BrettM Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I reckon you can get pretty close with just a couple of detuned saw waves in the solo synth. Definitely not a hex layer, they didn't have 'em in them days. Try Syn1 set to Sawtooth detuned +006 cents and Syn2 set to Sawtooth-L detuned -006 cents, played in the fifth octave. This creates two detuned saw waves an octave apart. Solo synth Delay DSP is essential, of course; Total Filter cutoff and resonance can be used to get the right mix between smoothness and buzz. The guitar sound is a clean or slightly crunchy guitar sent through a very fast phaser. Try the Phaser1 DSP preset with LFO Rate turned up to around 80.
