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.
