Upcoming Synapse OB-Xa: Obsession

[vurt]

".....there’s no denying that it was a massive commercial success: “Jump” topped the Billboard Hot 100 as well as the Mainstream Rock chart, climbed into the top 10 in the UK (it climbed to #7), and sold more than a million copies in America".

sales do not indicate quality

more ppl in the UK bought this that month than jump...

but auf wiedersein pet!

unless anyone has access to the original preset, it's a moot point

Well then, lucky for you it's literally Factory patch A1. Just turn the attack time down, and maybe very minor tweaks to the filter/envs (if that, it'll depend on the calibration), then add reverb.

It's not a difficult sound to match even without that. I already posted an example from Diva and all it's using is its internal reverb and delay..

[Ghostwave]

FWIW, it's slightly tweaked the preset to give it more low-end. I'll send the updated preset to Richard.
Here's the new (and last) version.

that's good then (no idea, never used one)

hopefully the original can be used to compare (if you really care about such dull sounds) instead of a recording of the song (or even worse, a YT video)

Agreed.

No worries. Arturia's OB-XA V includes the Factory bank. Choose A1 Brass Ensemble, turn filter envelope attack to zero, filter release to zero, filter sustain to max, and point the filter knob at the Q in the word "freq". Now turn on the reverb send to the half-way mark. Rather hilariously these minor tweaks result in a better Jump preset than the one Arturia did themselves

And now also give people an easy way to compare to other synths when they feel the need to Jump!..

Of course not but sales do indicate popularity.

I can't speak for the UK but in the US "Jump" was one of the most iconic songs of the genre and period.

The Jump synth sound and line have to be considered one of the most iconic of all time was well.

People are still trying to replicate the sound all the way up to today in this thread.

I assume people will be looking for a Jump patch in OBsession and perhaps the Tom Sawyer Bass from Rush as well.

Any demo videos / snippets here, except that magic-synth-is-arising-teaser?

[zvenx]

several snippets in the last four pages.

Really? That usually leads to an ugly bump or noise when releasing a key. I never understand why some sound designers keep doing that.

Ok, now here's the Arturia OB-XA V version with the tweaks I suggested (I didn't even change the default reverb setting!!)
Arturia OB-XA V Jump
I suggest someone from Synapse uses the Arturia plugin to look at the settings..

Still waiting on audio examples exposing any resonance detail etc from Synapse.. (which is the main area Arturia could still be improved on.. )

with post fx it's quite effective in certain situations, such as reverb, delay

re: jump - nobody cares, it's a crap sound from a crap song
