Hi folks,

As my 3rd post, I'd like to ask a question to my fellow Kronos users.

I've been looking to emulate this specific Prophet 5 pad sound using one of the Kronos' VA engines:

and a similar sound as an intro from one of the late great Allan Holdsworth's tracks, Sand:

It's that distinctive 'cutoff' effect when a new chord is played that i particularly like. A friend of mine said it was because of the 5 note polyphony limit of the P5 that it does that, but i reckon it could also be an envelope parameter.(?)

So my question is, can this pad and in particular that abrupt cutoff effect be reproduced on a Kronos?

Any help in this is very much appreciated Smile

Thanks!

p.s. i know the Prophet 5 preset is called Mellow Strings or Soft Strings or something similar as i used to have it on a Pro-52 VST back in the day.

The Kronos has really no limits at all, except the time you have to program it. I can achieve any synth sound I want with my Kronos (ELP's Hoedown Moog ascending synth, JMJ Laser Harp, etc.).

The pad sound you mention is for sure possible to create as well, it is just a matter of tweaking with the parameters. I would personally do it in AL-1. The most important part for you will be to set the amplitude envelope parameters correctly. Start with filters fully opened, draw the amplitude envelope correctly, then adjust filter stuff, then add effects, etc. Remember you can also impose a polyphony limit on any program/EXi.

Thank you very much for the tips, KK!
