Hello, is there a pack of synth lead sounds that sound similar to the sound in this video?

Or like other Minimoog\ARP\etc. synth leads like Rick Wakeman, Chick Corea and more. I might be missing something, but when I search for lead sounds I get videos\packs of Derek Sherinian\Jordan Rudess sounds only. Not quite what I seek.

I especially like the Jan Hammer like lead and will try to come close on my Voyager. I have to check out Adam Hozman's pot mapping idea especially.

I didn't understand the name of the guy who programmed the next lead synth after the Jan Hammmer sound completely (.... Thomas). What was his full name?

All in all I doubt you can get too close with the Kronos VAs: they just don't deliver the mixure of Moog-like like cutting through on one hand and sounding organic and smooth on the other hand. With the Polysix you get the needed warmth, but not the Moog edge and power, AL-1 rather causes ear bleed for my taste, when cutting through, than sounding analog and natural, and MS-20 is rather fine for thinner kinds of sounds.

There's a patch I have from online (probably from Busch) called Chick Lead. With modification, it is getting close. I had to modify the envelopes, adjust cutoff, change triangle to sine for LFO, adjust mono parameters, add delay etc... but it is getting closer. I found that you can add ensemble as an IFX and it will soften up the attack and timbre.

I use a tweaked program called BMA-SUPER MINI LEAD. It's not 100% Moog, but certainly in that direction, and always impresses band-members/audience when I pull it out. I can't remember where it came from.

I will surely check Chick's Lead

If I can get something sounding good, I will post the program.

Finally got a Kronos X in monday (Serious, not April's fools or something), and got to test Burning Busch's Chick Corea leads. Superb.

Here is the program that I created in use.

Here's a snippet of our first song of the night - trading with the sax player.
