Thea Cochrane Group: Musicians Posts: 445 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: Jan. 24 2001, 06:55 I have worked out a synth voice sound which is quite similar to one which Mike uses (TSODE onwards). It can be created on any Roland synth (I did it on an XP-10, but I've tried it on some of the SC modules and it works too). Set up is as follows: Start with GM 55 (SynVoice) and make these edits: Attack +5 Decay +50 Release +20 Filter Cutoff +50 Filter Resonance -50 Chorus Send 60 Reverb Send 100 I like to use a Hall2 reverb and Chorus3, but feel free to play with any setting Feel free to mess about with these.

Thea Cochrane Group: Musicians Posts: 445 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: Jan. 25 2001, 03:18 Thanks Ugo! I've already used the sound to great effect as an ethereal heavenly sound in a production of "The Mystery" plays. RE SynVox on Roland Synths: I was basing the patch on the General MIDI settings so that, in theory, people who didn't have a Roland synth could try it. I found it with the aid of a PhatBoy, so it should work to some extent on non-Roland synths as well maybe even soundcard synths. Back to top

I have some editting controls on my Evolution MK-249C MIDI keyboard, but they are a bit fiddly to use. I might consider getting a PhatBoy if most of the patches can be editted like this Have you found any other good sounds used by Mike on your Roland synths? Do tell! Back to top
