Tarkus406 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I have a Casio WK-3500 and a Roland Juno-Stage and a laptop. Think there's any way I can get a sound similar to the Oberheim sweep heard in Tom Sawyer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was cool. Check out that dudes other vids! Like this one My friend had a Juno-106 when it first came out back in the 80's and he was able to get the sound you are looking for with that...I think if you try you should be able to get the sound too.

Tarkus406 Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 Im sure its possible with a computer and some EPIC patch editing. This is my first good quality synth, so I'm just starting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 You can hear in that first video clip that the Moog sweep is quite different to the Oberheim one. I remember reading somewhere about why that is (something to do with the Oberheim filter being very different to everyone else's). I struggled for ages to program a Tom Sawyer sound on my Roland Fantom, but eventually gave up and sampled an Oberheim instead. Funnily enough, the closest I got with programming sounded pretty similar to the Taurus pedals in that clip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChroniclesOfRush Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 The way I achieve the Diane Sawyer OB-X super sweep is with a VST plug-in known as the OP-X pro. I use it with my Roland PK-5 and Cubase on my racked PC. For all the older RUSH tunes I use this plug-in from the wind sounds in Xanadu/Cygnus to the creepy flanged phase-tone in Witch Hunt. If you want to hear it in action check this out: It has the decay and everything! I highly recommend it to all who want to play this song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChroniclesOfRush Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Tell you what though - it's worth every penny. Best plug I have ever found for early RUSH stuff. I am not a huge fan of paying for software of any kind but after I heard it - it solved a lot of my problems. Just ask yourself is the time you will spend yanking your hair out trying to reproduce this sound worth $150.00? I think so....or you can just buy an original OB-X 8. Good luck with all that.

Tarkus406 Posted September 5, 2009 Author Share Posted September 5, 2009 YES! I worked it out. In Sonar there's a MIDI sample playback program called Cyclone. With that I'm able to trigger samples with a MIDI keyboard. I can't get the sound to be a patch on the keyboard but I can at least trigger it when I need to using a laptop and that software. Now all I need is a really good sample and I'm good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needed to back off on the distortion and the volume. Guy, that was like from our 2nd show ever. I have dialed things in considerably since then however two things never cease to amaze me playing over 20 shows with this band: How a "professional" sound guy can take 180 watts of pure tubed Boogie tone flowing from two full Marshall stacks and make it sound like it's being fired out of an aluminum can and,how people always forget RUSH was a hard rock (metal of its day) act and still considers themselves just that. I am a metal player who decided to take on the task of playing the music of the best band ever. Suffice it to say I like my RUSH with teeth. Anywho, here is what you need good sir. I took the E and made it about 20 second and the rest 11 as asked: E-B-A-G Long live RUSH boys. Here is something that was recorded via uStream(?) last weekend. I guess we were streaming for all the Internetting public to see. I think there is a pretty decent version of Freewill in there and a version of Lakeside Park I would like to have back. Being an old f**k + being recorded at 1:30AM + being an old f**k makes for some mental lapses from time to time. We've all been there right? http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/2073132 Dig it. We're having some fun. <---he is dancing to Freewill at this very moment. We all are... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
