Stage 3 Synth Patches.

Postby marvintheandroid » 03 Feb 2018, 00:24

I’ve not had much experience of Synth Patch creation in the past but having read a book on the subject of synthesis I felt a little more confident.
I wanted to recreate the Vox Humana Patch used by Garry Numan on the Cars single. The patch basically consists of an oscillating Saw Wave combined with and oscillating Square Wave. I have achieved an acceptable result by creatin the saw and Square Wave components as separate synth patches/programs and then brought them together in a Program.
This seems wasteful on space and I thought I might be able to use OSC2 for the Square Wave element but despite much experimentation I couldn’t figure how to do this.
Can anyone tell me how to achieve the end result without using both synth panels on the Stage 3. One of the problems is that the two waves need to oscillate at slightly different rates ideally!

Thank

Dave

Why not use the original Vox Humana sample from the Polymoog?

Analogika beat me, I have just converted it.
But it can be done with the onboard synth, but then you will need both slots. 'There is a thread about it here ( for Nord Lead A1, so not compatible with NS3)
