Ricebug 1 Posted February 19, 2019 I have all these synth plugins but I cannot, for the life of me, find the sound that resurrects that thick, sliding, analog signature sound of ELP! Anyone have any suggestions? Been fooling around with Monark, which comes close, but I need a real synth head. I'm mostly a Lee Michaels copycat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msmcleod 3,437 Posted February 19, 2019 (edited) Synthmaster has a bunch of Keith Emerson/ELP patches in their "Nori Ubukata Historical Synth Giants Vol. 2" set. [Edit]: Here's a link to a demo of the sounds: Edited February 19, 2019 by msmcleod 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

abacab 5,983 Posted February 20, 2019 Love my SynthMaster with the Nori Ubukata sound sets. Have all of the Historical Synth Giants volumes. Nori has worked as a sound designer for several big companies, including Arturia. http://soundbytesmag.net/noriubukatainterview/ He has also worked with Yamaha and Korg.

57Gregy 597 Posted February 20, 2019 If you mean the synth as in "Lucky Man", my MX 49 has a patch called 'Lucky' which is that sound. If you want it for just one project, email me the MIDI and I'll run it through my keyboard and send you the wave. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
abacab 5,983 Posted February 20, 2019 The Tracktion Collective synth (bundled with Waveform) has a number of very good "moogy" synth leads based on ELP and Yes songs, by sound designer Dave Polich. There is one called "Luckiest Man", as well as "Fanfare Lead", Karneval Lead", and "Welcome Back". He seems to have created the lead sound of Lucky Man with 3 detuned pulse oscillators and a low pass filter, and the others mostly with a pair of detuned saws and a low pass filter. For his "Classic Mini" lead, he uses a pair of saw waves and one pulse wave. And he always uses a legato glide for his leads. Then some light EQ, a bit of delay and reverb.

Muziker 0 Posted February 21, 2019 You could have gotten this when it was available. This would surely give you Keith's sound. Only for a few dollars at $150,000 USD. 😁 https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/EmersonModular--moog-emerson-modular-system-limited-edition-reissue-modular-synthesizer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alan Tubbs 71 Posted February 21, 2019 I was gonna say a moog modular but lucky man was done on the first Mini moog in the wild. Mr moog sent him one during the lucky man sessions. But no software is going to sound exactly like a moog, but you can get close. The lucky man front panel sheet used to be around on the internet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scook 4,388 Posted February 21, 2019 Here is a link to a discussion about this on the old forum. I am not sure if b rock ever made his Rapture program for Lucky Man available but I saved fr4ncesco's version. The original link is bad in the thread. I just uploaded the prog file and added it to the top my Google page. enjoy 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
