How do you get the Prince "synth" sound? FOr those of you who do Prince/related artist covers, or try to get that 80s sound yourself, what have you found the best way to get the signature SYnth sound?
e.g. for songs like Jungle Love (or any fast time song), DMSR, 1999 etc.? What synth and patch do you use? I have a classic Motif and some of hte sounds come close, but none really get that oberheim sound? And do you use more pitch bend or mod wheels? Just curious.  |

I used Fatsondo on that http://www.kvraudio.com/get/334.html I like that synth - but it's kind of buggy, perhaps they have come out with an update. I remember I was giving Cubase a try - what a nightmare that was. I produced some cheezy screams of frustration trying to work with that program.  | |

That synth is off of my Korg N364. It's called "Rezzo 4ths". I play everything live. I loop my drums but other than that, even though I like repetition, I play everything real time then go back and quantize everything. | |

About Fatsondo... I don't really know if I can reccomend it, download the demo and check it out. It had a few cool presets, but I don't know if I could tell you to buy it. Try downloading a few demos from the link below. http://www.kvraudio.com/a...nepage.php Minimonsta might be what you're looking for. | |
