First I have to apologise. I´m definitely not a sound editor but more a "preset-type" of musician. I´m looking for a minimoog solo sound such as in Steve Winwood´s "while you see a Chance" or Manfred Manns Earthband`s "Davy´s on the road again". I know that Diva is capable of producing such a sound but maybe someone can point me to a preset which is Close and which can then be fine tuned by me. A bit old fashioned soundwise, I know, but I have a certain song idea where this sound would fit very well.
Thnk you very much for your help
Thank you very much

Exactly the solo I meant.

And this is the Steve Winwood Sound I was aiming to (it´s an Amazon teaser but the sound comes right at the beginning):

That Winwood example is a PWM lead type of sound, so not sure that it was done on a Mini?

Sounds similar to this:

Here my version of the Manfred Mann lead.

Some observations from the video:
OSC1 and OSC2 are activated. Full filter keytracking.

Later it's layered with the organ and sounds different.

Hi Chris,
thank you very much for supplying the preset. I´ll give it a try tomorrow (got some things to arrange tonight)
best regards

The Winwood one sounds like a couple of different pulses, with slow contour attack. Gimme a minute or ten...
See attached. Needs more work, but I think it's already on the football pitch (as they don't say in the UK).

pretty darn close !!! question for you Howard, I did actually work with him briefly doing some Fairlight stuff in Dublin when he was here, a total gent BTW . The only synth that was around was a Prophet 5 with a CV/Expression pedal hooked into (I think ) the CV filter input. Could that have been the source of the sound. I of course could have asked him as it always fascinated me but a bit too starstruck.

Yes, that definitely sounds like the case, P5 did have PWM... Mini did not.

Should also add that the Prophet was well worn and had seen a lot of use !!!

IIRC the lead on "If you See a Chance" was a Multimoog - which has a pitch ribbon instead of a wheel. PWM isn't necessary for that sound, but variable pulse width might be (off to check Multimoog spec...)

Tx Howard, it does look like he said in an interview it was a Multimoog.

Steve Winwood/Manfred Mann Moog solo sounds using Diva? I could use some help from you.
