just found this guy playing this sound on YouTube!
what VSTI (free or commercial) can achieve this kind of thing?
I think he use extensive Vibrato effect to give this sweet sound.
thanks for telling more about it

Well, he's playing a juno-106, but I own a juno-60 and I've never gotten it to sound anything like that.

I think this may be halfway there, but my keyboard skillz are crapola.

Speed up that vibrato a hair, close the filter a bit, and lower the resonance by a hair as well...think that'll get you there...but you're very close.afreshcupofjoe wrote:I think this may be halfway there, but my keyboard skillz are crapola.

Note the caption on that page...
This was one of the very first things you could do when MIDI came out but I guess it seems kind of novel today.
So, not sure which sound is which instrument. (EDIT: Oh I see, he's looping the transposed MIDI back into the Juno! We used to do this with no transposition to double notes and create and interesting phase cancellation effect with the Juno's digitally controlled oscillators. Did the same thing with my JX-3P too.)
But they're not hard sounds to make. Square waves (actually I see him mixing in some saw too), I don't hear any PWM (correction, he tweaks the pulse width), piano shaped envelope, some slowish LFO mod of the oscillator, filter mid-way open, some filter env, no resonance... sounds pretty clean, chorus is probably off. What I would call an "analog synth electric piano sound". He's also transposing the MIDIed sound to play intervals. Kind of like adding a 2nd oscillator to the Juno. Personally, I'd play the intervals with my fingers because I don't like being painted into a corner, but I've seen some useful oscillator-interval playing with MONOPHONIC synths... check out the Minimoog playing spacey one-finger chords on Bob Marley's Stir it Up:

So he's playing a "double", two synths from one keyboard. But "Technical"? Heh, it's the simplest of all MIDI applications.Neat tune with technical MIDI routing
Along with physically playing the synth, I am controlling a transposed MIDI Out channel (FL Studio 6) via the Juno's MIDI out, routed to the MIDI in of the Juno. This allows me to have "virtual oscillators" in the way that one key can play a chord. Pretty fun.
