You nailed it now I think. Your bass fades out too fast, but the overall sound I'd say is as close as you can expect to get. Awesome job.
Thanks, man!

Excellent = Just needs a touch of reverb now. :clap:

No but this thread should have died since it was started 11 years ago...the OP hasn't even visited KVR in over 8 years..... :P

But you're right the Jump sound is one of the most iconic synth sounds in history.

i find it amusing that the OP wanted to get the sound from FM7... how about an acustic guitar?

I like some of the other presets, especially Welcome to the machine, but Jump... Nope. :)
Synth1 can't do it.

True, Diva, does better, but synth1 is not bad at all ;-)

Well, I use an Oberheim patch and a bottle of Coke.

BTW, the Oberheim patch is on every synth too. Sometimes labled "Obie" or similar.

Do music stores still have a "No Jump" policy in the keys dept. to go along with the "No Stairway" policy in the guitar section?

Selling Synth 1 patches is incredibly sleazy......... :roll:
I already know your opinion teksonik.
Because Synth1 is free, my work should be free also? Besides it's only the amount of a good beer. So fair enough. Get over it.
