Creating a good lead-brass for Final Countdown

[Matteo Ferretti]

Can you help me pls? I try to make this patch but i don't like my samples. Can you say to me the parameters to create this sound please?

I have a Korg Triton LE.

Thank You!

Why on earth would you want to play such a horibble, horrible song in the first place?

I have nearly the original sound (www.7amp.de/daniel/Final-Countdown.mp3), but it's a mix of different synths. But basically:

- I use a combination of a sawtooth (like in "Jump") and a smooth Synth Brass (which makes it sound analog and warm).

- put some delay on it and make sure it's in time with your playing (listen to the CD)

- if it sound too clean or too thin just copy the sawtooth-layers and detune them against each other.

Why on earth would you want to waste time posting about a song you obviously don't like in the first place?

:rolleyes:

Hey! It's not a horrible song! But I have the whole album and I admit it's not the best one on the LP.

That sounds good - to make it a bit more analog I'd detune the single oscillators a bit, perhaps out one of them an octave below and play a bit with the amp-envelope, so that it doesn't keep the same volume the whole time. And the delay could be a bit sharper, then you can release the keys a bit earlier so you'll her the delay more often.

But good work up to now ;-)

I like the song, I just think it's played too often and it's too popular. We once played as support for "Nazareth" and our last two songs were The Show Must Go On and Final Countdown...
