Thank you for your positive feedback.
It was really a hard work to implement this Mellotron Sounds. But the
mellotrons are the best of
the EMU vintage package. BTW A real tipp, because you'll get the EMU X2 for
free if you buy
the EMU Midi USB Box for about 40$. Price for EMU X2 was 500$.
I decided to make some other vintage Emulations using the EMU vintage
package and yotube.
- Minimoog (perhaps Jupiter 8 too)
- Some String machines
- old CX3 organ ( already done in my an1x_v1 file. Old Cx3 was template.)
I found a trick to emulate Vintage Organ Disortion. Using a dual sound and
only overdrive for the high drawbars. Overdrive for a whole sound is to
heavy. Has anybody another solution ?
EMU contains the Solina String. I owned this but its not my favorite String
machine. I like the ARP Omni Strings most
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARP_Omniand a look at the circuits will show, they in this machine used a more
complex and expensive BCD modulation. An unknown german group (Anyones
daughter) used Minimoog T100 and Arp Omni creating a very special, ok very
german :-) sound, Krautrock. I like this Omi Sound :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4NtWOrnL5oHas anybody a source for wav Samples for the Arp Omni ?Another Problem is
the EMU Minimoog. Using a spectral Analyzer its easy to emulate the
fundamental SAW wave :
Feedback : 60-65
Sawtooth : Edge=110
Must be reduced for high notes : Keytrack VCOx Edge -40
And some frequencies emphased :
180 Hz : +3dB
2 kHz : +2dB
5 kHz : +6 dB
(With spectral analyzer you will also see, that alasing effect depend on the
Edge value)
(Moog square will need other parameters)
It sounds identical to the EMU moog SAW, but i have some doubts this being
the right way. A useful help would be a website showing some famous Minimoog
settings.
Best regards
richy
