building a lead on Motif6, feedback

[jeebustrain]

Sorry if this has been brought up before, but I didn't see a thread on it... I'm trying to build my first real lead (from scratch) with my Motif. I figure it's a good way to figure out how to get into the guts of programming it. What I was thinking of doing was assigning one of the sliders as a distortion/lead element. The main voice is kind of an oberheim-ish type sound, even a little Like KevMo's I&W lead. Now, a few years ago, I sat with a Kurzweil guy in a Guitar Center and we played on a K2600 and he was showing me some of the programming stuff on there. I mentioned the Trinity Monster Lead and he said that the feedback was a sine wave set to run and octave and a 5th above the normal tone. Which is what I did. Problem is that it sounds really hokey. I've tried applying distortion to it, and it never quite gets out of that Minimoog type tone. Do you think it's my primary voice? I want something really expressive that I can use both heavy stuff and for real legato expressive stuff. I even was toying around with assigning portamento to the aftertouch (that was pretty fun to play with).

Anybody have any ideas? Anyone done a decend lead on a Motif?

For the feedback effect, you need to set the volume of the feedback layer to 0. Then, you assign a slider or aftertouch or whatever to raise the volume of the feedback layer to the max while lowering all of the other layers' volume. You might try using a triangle wave instead of a sine wave for feedback.

Incredible! Is it possible to make leads on a board which is not Korg, Kurzweil and Roland and Virtual Analogs?! Unbelievable! :P :P :P
