organ patch
 

have any of you guys checked out that gospel organ patch listed under original sounds in the virus yahoo group? it sounds very realistic(for the virus) and it is very easy to tweak it around a little bit and come up with another equally good organ patch.

Cant say I have......I tend to use my Motif, or HALion for those types of things....

well yeah, i could see how a motif would be better for that kind of thing but the cool thing about the virus is that you can tweak it around and start to get something that sounds a lot funkier like what john medeski might use.

The Virus can do some very good organ style patches. I remember programmign one off the Virus KC once. Juho has done some very nice organ patches.

On Band Aid '85 you can watch the keyboard guy (Simple Minds) play an organ type synth sound on the OB8. Ive come close to the classic Oberheim sound.....

Maybe I should try running the Motif through the Virus filters.....Hmmm, now there's an idea!!

I have been checking out this synth....



GEM Promega 3

Looks damn cool....

Promega3... Mostly unknown (and old?) synth -> Big 88-key keyboard with "a new cool DSP system" -> bloody expensive?

I haven't seen that synth anywhere. I listened to the demos and seems that only useable sound is the grand piano and maybe the clav. The Rhodes sounded like a mixup of Rhodes and DX7 piano.

It would be cheaper to get Roland FP-2 (pianos) or Electro2 (Rhodes, Hammond, clav). By the way do you have the original Motif or ES?

Motif Rack....so would be original

"DRAKE (Dsp-Risk-Advanced-Keyboard-Engine)"

you got to understand that using dsp parts is a taking a big risk on yourself,
they can suddently start singing out of nowhere and then you cant stop them,they are like little goblins :twisted:

And they will bite your ass if you are not careful! :)
