Interest for OASYS sounds from songs from the 80s and 90s?

[theshinenz]

Great idea, I'd def be in for buying this!

Heres some ideas:

1. Heart - ALone
2. Jessie's girl - Rick Springfield
3. You give love a bad name - Bon jovi
4. Hungry like a wolf - Duran Duran
5. You spin me right round - dead or alive
6. Cold as ice - foreigner
7. Just died in your arms- cutting crew
8. Boys if summer - don henly
9. Dirty laundry - don henly


Also the big let you already have looks great... Im looking at getting a kronos when released and think you'd have a very saleable product with this regardless of what others say about programing synths, when in a covers band you are often pushed to learn a lot of songs so it's a huge weight off if theres sounds available.

How about some sounds from famous movies? Like Dirty dancing, Footloose (title song is already on the list), Flashdance? "Maniac" has some insanely good synth sounds

.. and of course "Axel F"

You mean the sound with which you can play nothing else than "Axel F" ?

[peter m. mahr]

... but isn't that the case with most of the great sounds?

Great idea!
JMJarre Oxygene and Equinoxe too!

How about some classic Oberheim sounds? I believe that Eddie Van Halen used an OB-8 on "Jump," and Joe Zawinul used an OB-4 on "Birdland." Lyle Mays was also using an OB-4 with the Pat Metheny Group as early as 1978 (on "San Lorenzo," for example). I saw him use it in concert many times in those days.

I had an OB-8 in the mid-1980s and liked its analogue warmth. I would MIDI it into a Yamaha DX-7, which supplied the bite.

Also, I'd like to have the sound that Steve Porcaro of Toto used on the instrumental interlude in "Rosanna." As I recall, there are two synth sounds in the keyboard solo before Steve Lukather enters on guitar: the first has a lot of portamento, and the second is a very round sound with sharper attack and a bit of a bell quality.

In this blog entry: http://blog.petermmahr.com/2011/01/30/t ... f-4-voice/ you'll find a link in which a guy compares the OB-X to the OB-8. Even my MacBook "loud"speakers pictured the difference. If you want to know more about Oberheim I recommend the following article in case you do not know it: http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/sep98/a ... rheim.html

.. btw, vEddy has already one Jump sound for the Oasys.

Hey vEDDYv,

the last posts are quite a few days back
Just wanted to know if you are already working on it and when do you think work will be finished? Please don't get me wrong - I don't want to put you under pressure, but I can hardly wait to play with these sounds

Best regards
Timo

Working my ass off on them, halfaway done... It will take several weeks, that's for sure. But I want to make them sound gr8. Don't worry, haven't forgotten

Hi vEddY, thanks in advance.

I just didn't want to add more songs - all the suggested ones are very good and you already have a lot of work to do...

PS. I think after this era great music disappeared from mainstream. Regardless of some exceptions: what could we really choose from the 2000s?

[ozy]

what could we really choose from the 2000s?

...er...

the best of "world music"?

the balkans, which in the '90s where too busy in internecine passtimes to care about music?

It's a whole universe of sounds which are ill-represented in synthesizers.

In the 2000 there was also the renaissance of real analogue an of modular:

so, better VA which emulate what REAL analogue does, not just "jx8p pads"
