Hi everyone!

Does anyone have a vst patch for prophet sound in Bette Davis Eyes by Kim Carnes?
I know only that the instrument in the song is a Prophet, and I have Pro-53 (prophet plugin by NI), but I can't find any similar sound...
Does anyone have a clue?

What about the Mega Dance preset, on pro 53, and kick the reverb up..... Maybe elongate the attack and release....

Post

well, actually I dont know....
I've just tried it but it seems a bit "aggressive" sound, much more the the one in the song....
any other idea?

Post

I don't own a prophet emulation, but if I did, it would be Pro 53. So.... Mega dance was a bit aggressive? I agree.. Its more of a, "close," but needs a lot of tweeking on your end.

I can't remember any other preset from 53 that would be closer. but if you find one....

Bette Davis Eyes sounds a lot like a saw pad/lead with lush chorus and verb.... but maybe I am incorrect. Hopefully somebody else comes with another idea.

Cheers!

Hey Alessandro,
try this preset that I made for the Pro-53. I think it's very close to the original:

Tell me what you think!

Cheers


edit: wait, something might be wrong with the preset, sounds totally different when I load it again...

edit: okay, got it. It's working this time.

btw, this is probably in the wrong part of the forum, right? Maybe it can be moved by one of the mods...

yehh not bad, really! good work it's close to the original! :)
maybe I would turn it a bit "warm", less "acid"...but it's quite close!
Try to work a bit on it, 'cause I think you're pretty close to it!
Cheers

I know what you mean.
But if you turn down the "analog" knob and/or the "wet" knob in the delay section, you're pretty much there. Then it's less "acid", as you put it.
Try it, it's quicker than me uploading another patch.

Glad you like it though!

This link is dead. :(

Can you repost or email this patch to me? I'd be very appreciative!

Thanks!
