As a newbie to DIVA I would like to recreate this phantastic moog lead sound which sounds at the beginning of Pink Floyds "Shine on you crazy diamond". Does anyone know how to programm that sound using DIVA?
Another sound comes into my mind. Steve Winwoods lead sound on "while you see a chance take it" would be phantastic to emulate on DIVA. If anyone has a brilliant idea how to do that I would be most grateful
Thanks very much for your help

Heh, Howard nailed that in Zebra (and the pad in ACE) - wouldn't be a bad idea to check those out

I am also interested in that sounds!
How are the names of the sounds in Zebra and ACE?
I cannot find it.
I am looking for the last 20 years for the lead synth sound of Steve Winwood
And I am not able to replicate it on a synth. And I don´t know why.
So far as I know he used a Multimoog for it and used pedals to control the VCF.
In read it in a magazine many years ago.

My mistake, the Zebra patch is actually in the HS Science presets (conveniently named HS Crazy Diamond), sorry 
It'd probably be impolite of me to reverse engineer the patch.
The ACE preset is HS Floyd the Poodle, it's a later addition to the factory set and located in the top level / uncategorized presets.

Thankd for pointing to the Zebra an ACE patches. I´m not sure though if it will be possible to produce those sounds using DIVA. Maybe another idea?
Thanks and best regards

Surely the moog lead can't be that difficult to make. Wright used a Minimoog and all the components are in Diva. One oscillator with a saw wave and some subtle filter modulation using the envelope?

OK, hope this helps - there's a DIVA preset in 'Poly Synths', 'HS Strumpet' that's got the right kind of envelope/vibrato. Changing all the components to Moog-y variants, and from poly to legato I think is really in the ballpark - it's sort of correct structurally. Might pull the filter down a bit - it's sort of a brassy articulation but more fundamental, flute-like in the tone.
I'm comparing to the Zebra patch, there are a few details that are sort of obviously correct that I'm not quite sure how to even get into DIVA but I'm pretty sure trial-and-error gets closer to Howard or Richard Wright here.
[e] Oh, very close to 'HS Strumpet', 'HS Snow Organ' is not bad for the pad sound either.

I just played a little bit one of my favorite synths the Bruno II of www.tuebohm.com .
And I tried to male the Pink Floyd sound.
Here is the result:

I think that the Bruno II makes a good job.
What do you think?

You made a very good job. Chapeau. Didn´t know about Bruno, maybe because I´m a "Mac only" personGucky wrote:I just played a little bit one of my favorite synths the Bruno II of http://www.tuebohm.com .

Hi "xh3rv",
yes this helps a lot. Thank you very much. Both sounds seem to be good starting points. I´ll check if I can come closer to the desired sound.
Best regards
