ROLAND MKS 80 -SYNTH BRASS

Post by Ivan Jochner »

Hi folk,
Does anybody posess Roland mks -80,

I am looking for reproducing Synth Brass sound (first 40 seconds of this video)
If somebody could make samples of this Synth patch for the NORD Stage .
I think its the BEST patch for the Final Countdown that i have ever heard so far.
(In return i can share any existing librarie for Yamaha Motif Xs/Xf if someone is having it)

Thanks in advance!

I don’t have one, but MKS-80 is the rack version of Jupiter-8 / Jupiter-6. If you find someone who owns one of these you may get they same sound out of them

Maybe you can start from one of the Jupiter 8 samples of the 1.0 Nord Sample Library https://www.nordkeyboards.com/sound-lib ... -jupiter-8

Is it the NS3 Synth section or the sound designer... ? From a synthesis chain perspective the NS3 synth should have all you need to recreate that sound.

Of course sound designers too, but it never took me soo long to get it right using just synth section without samples.
(Before i was lucky maybe, when i did Ocean of Saws patch , but when time came to make Final Countdown, nobody could even come close for the last one using any of the Nord Stages), apart of sampling Roland JX-8P).

Dying hard to to get it done.

Well the "thickness" of Jup8 oscillators is difficult to recreate with a pure and general purpose VA, you cannot compare it to a dedicated VSTi modeled after the original and so there is nothing wrong if in this case you need to use sampled waveforms (as even a powerful VI such as Omnisphere does).

I suspect you may need to use 2 sections (to add thickness) and/or work a lot of EQ.

Thats exactly what i am trying to do right now)

( Dont get me wrong guys, i am fond of NS for its strong points, just a bit disappointed when the patch is not coming out as expected)

Dude.

You’re talking about an MKS-70.

Might as well complain about the Stage 3 (or any other existing synth) being inadequate at reproducing a Memorymoog, or a CS-80.
