Thanks for the comments :)
 
That was the Moog Slayer and probably the 12dB slope filter engaged as well, I don't remember exactly since I did that a while ago. I chose not to use the Poly's onboard chorus and added some reverb and chorus during the mastering. I used Samplitude as host and some plugins (Kjaerhus' Classic Reverb for some ambience and Classic Chorus for warmth and separation, Waves MaxxBass and L2 for beefing up). I guess this could be considered cheating, but I really doubt the Floyd ran the EMS VCS3 (a.k.a. the Putney) directly to tape).
 
For some reason I tend to disguise the sound of my Poly 800 oftentimes. One of my time-honored ways for doing so is to disengage the chorus -- it has such a definite character that I find it obtrusive sometimes.
 
I'm uploading a new MP3, this time with no effects except for Waves L2. You can hear that, all in all, the meat of the sound is pure Poly 800 with some real-time MoogSlayer twiddling :)
 
When I have my Hawk kit (someday, I promise!) I will upload syxex for the patch. In the meantime I could come up with an Excel spreadsheet with standard Poly 800 parameters -- arghhh!
 
cheers
 
Dave

That sure was alot of fun and very much like the original.

Is that with the Moog Slayer or not?
