Hoping this kind of thing isn't done to death....
In general I think it would be great, and really enlightening to hear how you who actually know how to program a synth (unlike me) would go about duplicating a sound.
I thought the old synth the Beatles used on the intro to "Strawberry fields" is interesting, how would you go about getting that sound? (was it a mellotron, or even older synth?..I think I've seen pictures of it)
I would love to hear the thought process you would go through to get in the ballpark and how you would plan to get that sound.
Just from memory, I think it had a pretty mellow attack on the keys, it had little treble, and it sounds to me (again, from memory) like the modulation is very limited, that it didn't cycle through a wide range as the keys were held down...just a small bit of vibrato...but I know there is way more than that to it. And even the things I think I hear may be something else.
So if anyone is game..how would you plan to get this sound, listening to the record o from memory what can you say about it (like I briefly did above) but even more important, which module would you hook up to each other...PEG, FEG, whatever...
Anyone game?
