It's a pretty common sound, mostly used in Electro House. If any of you aren't familiar with the song(you should be ashamed) here's the link:

Trying to make a track for Tecktonik here. Thanks in advance.

the lead/bassline at 0:40sec or the sax? the sax is a sample from an old 80s song

It is ? I always thought it was an Ensoniq ESQ1 or similar. You do know this song is originally from the 80ies, right ? The sax line is the same in the original.

I remember seeing the original performed on TOTP with a geezer 'playing' sax.

'1990's time for the guru', think it was 1990 the original release and the sax was original to my knowledge....

There was an earlier release in 1989. With the same sax line i might add. And without the annoying rapping.

I think that was fake. It sounds quite synthesized and thin,nothing like a real sax but then again i've been wrong before.

you guys are right, i apologize. I remixed Fonzerelli's take on this track and was thinking they both sampled from the same track but i believe the sax is original to GJP

Tried to recreate it with the SQ8L since my original hunch was an Ensoniq. Can't really claim i nailed but it ain't too far away.

Wow, that's pretty close... What about that one at 0:40? That was what I was originally looking for. Thanks though

Well.......both. I modified a preset that was closeish. Made so many changes back and forth i don't know how close to the original preset it is anymore.
It is the brass waveform 2 or 3 times slightly detuned. Might have used a saw,don't remember. Couldn't quite get the nasal quality of the original track so i eq:ed it a bit (8 db boost, frequency by ear). There's no hipass or bandpass filters on the SQ80. Slap on a big tasty verb courtesy of Bootsie Epicverb (funny i did not like it until just now) and that's pretty much it.

i saw him live at energetic rave(energy weekender) in 1990, wouldn't of noticed back then what synthesizer he used, was more into djing then...thanks for reply, i'll check out the preset...
