Synth1 is my favorite nr 1 synth, even after trying dozens of other vst synths, small ones and big ones.

I like the way the interface is, clean and to the point.
I like the 10.000s of presets.
I like the sound possibilities, even with its limitations.
I like the small weight and cpu footprint of it.
I use it almost in every setup and song I play live on stage.
A very usefull synth.

Since I play in a coverband, I mostly re-create famous synth sounds from the 80s until today.
Therefore I'd like to share my presets with you.
They are programmed with love and respect :)

I've been tinkering with Synth1 off and on over the last few months; at some point I decided to try my hand at some Jupiter-8 preset emulations similar to the OP-X ones. Quite a few of them can't be emulated, due to differences in the synth architecture, but sometimes it's possible to cheat a bit. So here are a few examples; if there are any Jupiter-8 owners still on here, maybe let me know how close these are.

There are some sounds I posted a while ago that had a recreation of the Roland D-50 "Soundtrack" patch in it. Now THAT's been used in a lot of songs...

Here's a dozen more original patches. I guess the only one that's an "emulation" is the Power Chords patch which reminds me of the Rompler sounds from the late 80's early 90's.......the rest are more ambient in nature.....hope you find some of them useful ! :)

I see you guys were talking about some famous sounds re-creation... Well, two years ago I made a JMJ-style bank you might find useful.

There is a dedicated sub-forum for soundware/soundsets now, you should move the thread there, or ask the mod to do it.

Post

No problem, please move this topic.

I don't know, the new Soundware Sub Forum seems more like a place to pimp commercial soundsets etc although I do see some free samples.....I think this thread would get lost pretty quickly.

I'm organizing a few Synth 1 patches. I'll upload them here when finished......

Are you going to post yours as well godly ? :)

Can't they just all be posted to banks and patches here at kvr so they don't get lost?
I don't know if I'm going to come across the thread after it's moved. Seems like all patches could be stored there.

Post

Yes I could upload mine there. I think I've already got a couple of Synth 1 banks in the KVR data base.

yesyesyes ! :) I'm working very hard (when I find spare time) to get them all ready !!! :)
I already had some great sounds from myself like Sweet Dreams, Jump (with the 1984 drone and OBx Strings), Yazoo Don't Go, Beat It Chime, Vertigo Moog, Blondie Call Me, etc,...

But I've created some new sweet ones, I've found inspiration from the OP-X famous sounds. They sound soooooooooo good. I never thought it could compete with synth1, but I must say in some cases they even sound richer.

I've been creating these sounds in the weekend: Save a prayer SQRs and strings, Fly Like Eagle SQRs, Numan Cars intro and Lead, Numan Friends, Abba Gimme Flute, Journey , Fooled Again organ, etc,...

I'm setting up a demo in Reaper now and organising the sounds,...
Have some patience my friends...

Great sounds from you, Teksonik !!!
My Purpose is to get it all collected, since I'm loosing my tracks in 10000+ patches, haha :)
I have a simple search function in Windows, I created the patch list with the .bat tool, so now I can search. But still it's not easy.
I tried Zen also but still need to fix it all.

It would be great to see some video or audio demo like these from OP-X.

I like that synth, but unfortunate it demands to much from all my computers... I get asio clicks all the time. Synth1 is so my favorite and fun programming...

The main thing I'm missing in Synth1 is a decent reverb (yeah I know you can add extra in vst), but I solved it with a long a shallow delay on some patches...

Thinking of famous sounds, are there any good FM or DX7 emulations on Synth1?
