Identifying a preset

Post by djantimatter »

Hi,

I've been attempting to identify a sound which I've been told originated from a Korg synth

Example A:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyMkWqggLvc


Skip to 0:21 and you can hear it echoing the vocals:

Example B:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDDYS-B ... rMIfUf8g6q

Starts right at the beginning.

I saw the band from example A live recently and he was playing it from a from a microKorg, I went through the Radias MicroKorg bank and couldn't find it though. Does anyone know which soundbank it might be in?

What makes you assume its a pre-set?

Hi,

Link B is broken...

I found another video from the band of example A (Legend) performing live the title track of the Fearless release (from which Amazon War of video A is taken).
You can clearly see at +/- 0:16 the keyboard player uses a KorgR3, but only the MIDI IN and OUT are connected to ... a laptop. No audio cables. At least in that setup, he is using the R3 as controller only for triggering soft synths and not the sounds of the R3 engine at all... :?

Here is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fka0Zk9VVwo

(Unless you've seen it otherwise...)
microKORGXL, Kaossilator Pro, monotribe, SQ-1, volca fm, Kross 88 BK
Alesis SR18, Akai Miniak, Fender Strat, Line 6 Spider II 112, Zoom MS-50G

most of the backing sound and some of the drums are coming from the laptop, probably some DAW playing it :-) The singer is obviously singing it all live, the keyboard player is playing something from a VST and the drummer is playing along to a drum track. Its all miked up and most probably being recorded to separate tracks and a stereo track in the DAW for syncing to the video in final production. Nice song though but I don't think it would sound as clean as this in that lobby ;-)

Link B is fixed.

Anyhow, to me in both examples it sounds like the same base sound but perhaps tweaked slightly different in each version.
