Ricardo,
Thanks for the tips. I am familiar w/ how the HPF
makes it sound thinner and the basic layout of the
voice. I think that I have been spoiled by the glossy,
internal f/x on a lot of newer synths. The sounds I
was shooting for were similar to the ones used by Nick
Rhodes (Duran Duran) created and used on "Rio." I have
fattened up quite a few sounds by detuning them.
Thanks again,
Philip
