Dakota - Stereophonics

Lots of distorted guitar, bad quality voice in there, so I guess you are talking about the intro synth?

Keep in mind, lots of fab sounds are made layering patches. It could also be a good portion of this is made in processing, sounds like at least a filter sweep is going on.

Thanks dbijoux. Yes, I meant the intro synth

I did want to layer a few parts together but I was using the arpeggio feature to get the repeated note, and (unless I'm missing something) the arpeggio can only work on one part of a performance?

Or, maybe there's a better way to get this effect that will allow layering...perhaps the slicer effect, or something. I'll have another look.

Cheers, IanR

You can try this to create an intro sound:

- Assign saw waves to tone 1 and tone 2
- Detune tone 2 by 7 semitones
- Set filter cutoff to around 70..80
- Create a falling filter envelope with a decay of around 40..50, set envelope depth to +15..20
- In the MFX processor, set it to flanger with a slow rate

You should be fairly close if you tune all the parameters by ear.

Why not just sample the intro?

That sounds very close, using the arpeggio to hit 8th notes.

I detuned Tone 1 to an octave below and put an LFO sweep to get even closer. As Artemiy said, just needs a little fine tuning. I was going to work more on the FX when I switched the patch. Alas, good luck and patience!

@garytragic - An exercise in futility?

Thanks for the tips everyone.

I had another bash at this last night and realised how little I know about the patch edit mode. Up until now I've pretty much got away with just layering the presets in different ways & trying different effects until I get something close.

I guess this is a good opportunity to learn...I think I need to head over and buy me one of your tweak books, Artemiy!

Sampling is an option as well, but again something I haven't really done much before...

...looks like it's time to unlock a bit more of the potential of my Juno.

Cheers, IanR

IanR, I am not "selling" the book to you here, as I am glad to help you create sounds with advise on the forums. But the book will be an eye-opener for you and your JUNO, believe me

Thanks Artemiy...much appreciated.

I just think I need to get more of the basics into my head first...then, no doubt I'll be back with more specific questions.

let ME do the selling then:

First the disclaimer; I have no connection with Artemiy or Roland Clan but believe me, buying the "Tweak Book" was the best investment I have done this year. I consider myself "intermediate" in my abilities to edit/sequence with synths in General, and I was delaying buying the Tweak Book because I was assuming it would just be a "better written version" of the original Juno-G manual.

I was wrong! It contains lots of information, starting with the basics, which I would normally expect Roland to have given us in the first place.

In fact, it would increase the value of Juno-G if Roland were to package the book with every unit sold.
