Hi KVR users,

anyone can help for this simple synth sound, a TH MOY's characteristic sound?
Korg MS20 or Moog, or another?

Start @ 4"00:

Hey, so the good news is, pretty much any synth can make this sound!

Start with a saw wave. Stack a bunch of them together. Detune them to your liking.

The volume envelope will have a relatively slow attack.

Run that through a low pass filter, with the cutoff controlled by another envelope.

It'll be easier to make it sound the way you want it to with the synth on "retrigger" mode (or whatever mode doesn't let you play two notes at the same time).

Play with the envelopes and filter settings until it's got the same "bite" as the sound you're looking for. That'll get you like 80% of the way there! The rest will be figuring out what the velocity and mod wheel should do to the filter cutoff, maybe having the tuning modulated by an envelope just a little bit, etc. Putting a reverb on it will definitely make it sound nicer.

Google stuff on making trumpet sounds with synthesizers, that's pretty much what this guy is doing.

Hope that's helpful!

Also, on synth that’s used, probably a Roland SH-101 through chorus or a Jupiter-8/Prophet-5/Oberheim in unison mode. I can hear the unison. It could also be a monophonic synth from the late 70’s early 80’s, like a Moog Prodigy or something like that.
Many paid and free VSTs as well as Kontakt libraries. As well as HW synths/drum machine and acoustic instruments.

Pretty much anything can do this... if you have Arturia's Minimoog its pretty much the default sound I think, just turn on unison.
