VECTRON / PROPHET VS

This is a little crappy mp3. demo that shows how the VS was used in " Pop Rock ", of the '80s'

The guy I saw using the VS live was an amazing chap who had his VS chops down. I tried to do this w/ a preset that allows 3 different attacks dispersed up and down the keyboard thanks to the K-Follow.

It seems like more than one synth, even though it's a stereo VDAT 2 mp3. take.

The lower keys have a slow attack, the middle keys have a neat Marimba attack, and the tops keys have the bellish attack also.

Holding down the keys is the trick to getting the Vectron / VS thing going.

The song I was remembering when I made this patch was by a German group, I don't remember their name, but the chick was a babe, and the song was Voices Carry I believe.
Then I was thinking of that silly Spandau Ballet song, but the synth was awesome. But hearing the snivelling, whiney singer could gag a maggot.

Try the Lead Bell 2 preset. Play fifths in the low end, fifths percussively in the midrange, and hold down all upper melodies. :D

Use a great echo device w/ nice tail to help carry the sound over in between different phrases.

Enjoy.

This synth does so many sounds that other synths cannot achoeve, and has rightly earned itself 2 x instances on their own MIDI Channel in my first XITE-1 project.

I will be layering 2 of these, w/ different envelopes and waveforms to make a giant 8 Oscillsator ( sound source ) MorphMonster, which can be controlled by the Joystick On Solaris's Hardware synth.

I have already achieved better results than Viagra, by having this beast morphing around under a Solaris synth pad.

"Voices Carry" was performed by Til Tuesday; their singer was one Amy Mann.
