Hello all, here is my most recent Prophet '08 creation. For me the horn sound always sits front and center; maybe that will change in the future!
I really like that Vangelis horn sound the CS-80 made for Blade Runner and Chariots of Fire. This was made with 2 sawtooth DCO's mixed at 64. In the mod matrix I set the source as keyboard the destination as Oscillator 1 Frequency and the amount set to 1. I then fine tuned Oscillator 1 about -25 to -30, and setup the filter and amplitude envelope to taste for the sound of a trumpet. I played with the oscillator drift so I could get the phasing sound of the two coming in and out of phase and hovering for a while to play with the harmonics. I was really pleased with the result!
The rest of the song was made with the Ultranova on the 1/8th note bass, an EMU proteus 2000 for the drums with gated reverb to add punch, and a Korg Wavestation playing sweeping wavy chords in the background.
Thanks for watching!
