Lyle Mays Lead

Post by planmusic »

This is my program and sample of the famous flute sound Mays used in the early 80's especially from the record As falls Wichita so falls Wichita falls. It has a pretty cool analog vibe. Not sure if it is useful but is pretty fun to relive that moment in jazz. Enjoy!

Sounds good :thumbup:

Can you post the settings of the program, to try to rebuild it on a Stage?

Hi, I did this on a Roland and then sampled it. However, the translation would be two oscillators that are sounding sine waves. #1 is pretty much your simple sine wave. #2 oscillator sine wave has an lfo to pitch that sine wave around a half step higher and then #1. The tone "glides down" to almost unison with #1 but slightly detuned. ADSR is pretty much what you might use on a flute. The synth should be put in mono mode with maybe a bit of portemento(since the electro can't do this, I can't say for sure if it helps) and then add delay and reverb. Filter to taste. (this is starting to sound like a recipe!) Anyway. let us know how it works out!

Very nice. I’m going to add this to my NE5, and I will also try to build it on my microKORG. Lyle Mays called the detuned attack “pitch by consensus” or something similar.

Hi! We're new to this forum, and just bought a Nord Stage 3.
We wonder how to transfer your beautiful Lyle Mays sound patch into the synth.
The Nord Sound manager does not recognize the 3 files you added.
Hope to
hear from you soon!

Cheers! Charley & Vinnie

You'll be able only to load the sample in your Stage 3. The other files are a demo in mp3 and a program, not compatible with the Stage 3.
Launch the Nord Sound Manager, select the Sample tab, download the nsmp sample (it will be converted to nsmp3 format automatically). Create a new program on your stage, switch on the Synth engine, assign the sample you just loaded to that program and tweak some parameters to your taste. Don't forget to save your program before you switch to another. After this great success, take some time to read the tiny manual or view videos from MyKeysToMusic !
