Greetings,
This is my first post here.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gd8pk9crPMYMy band really wants to cover this song, our keyboard player is great, but he knows nothing about synthesis and technology. I'm the guitarist, but I have to be the "tech guy" for the band. haha
I emailed Don and this is what he remembers about the sound...
"Brass 1. 16ft
Brass.2. 8ft slightly detuned-
Sub Osc. Sine Wave, speed c 30%, VCO c 20%
Add Touch Response(important) and Keyboard Control as needed.
Good luck
DA"
I met him on the most recent Deep Purple tour, he was super cool and friendly (told me some really funny stories about visiting the Mg factory where I live in Buffalo, NY in the 70s), when I pressed him for a bit more information, he said that he couldn't remember much. He did say that the performance was a single take and there was no overdubbing/layering.
I've tried the settings that he described and I'm not getting it. Maybe I don't know how/where to assign the touch response and keyboard control settings? I feel like there is portamento in there with the gliding chords, but he didn't mention that. Any ideas anyone?
