Take a mono lead sound-it's important that it can only play one note at
a time. Add fuzz. Set the bend wheel to maximum, we want at least 2
octaves for dive bombs. Make a fist and roll your fist on the keyboard,
randomly sounding notes at a manic pace and move the bend wheel
frantically. Sounds just like prog rock.I used this technique last
weekend to great effect for a monumental solo in the middle of "Drug
Zombies".
