In search of a particular sound
« on: January 12, 2022, 11:50:48 PM »
Looking for the sound or something close used for the song "Bette Davis Eyes" by Kim Carnes. It was a nice lush analog Prophet 5 synth patch. Thanks!

I guess you mean the sound at the beginning?

Yes,  sorry I should have been specific.

Hi Amxf5,

Have you already listened to the Voices in the "Pad" category? There you should actually find such an analog synth pad sound.

Alternatively, you could use a suitable voice from the "Synth" category. If a suitable Synth voice is only playable monophonically by default, you can change it from "Mono" to "Poly" in "Voice Edit > Common". To achieve a "pad-like" sound (some "sustain" after the key is released), increase the value of the "Release" parameter (= Release Time) in "Voice Edit > Sound > EG" a bit.

You can either save the edited Voice as a User Voice with "Save" or memorize it directly to a Registration. Note that User Voices can only be used in keyboard parts (Right, Left), not in Styles or MIDI files.


Hope this helps!

Best regards,
Chris
