Lead sound on Rose Royce's - Love don't live here anymore

Post by Music Manic »

Hi Guys,

I know the bass at the beginning is most probably the Arp Odyssey and I think the lead is the Oberheim SEM 4 voice.

I'm looking for a synth that can produce that lead sound. Is there one available?

How does Scopes Odyssey compare to the original and vst?

Thanks

Never heard the tune, but personally I think the Scope Prodyessey has an excellent Ring Modulation and SYnc'd Oscillator sound. Leads are pretty easy on that beast.
But, a synth with more Oscillators can get a big sound also.
Especially when an Envelope can modulate the pitch slighty on one Osc. Then have a pair of detuned Osc's to add to that sound.
Modular is possible of making really big leads too, especially if you have Mod IV's MVC module with Unison feature.

I'd probably start with a square wave, on any synth should do.

Nice LFO'd Rhodes on Madonna's version.

i think its mostly just a slightly filtered square wave going through a spring reverb.
