Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond

Postby neolithic » 17 Feb 2015, 13:53

Here's my gift of the week to the good people of this forum.
I've searched around for a good patch for Shine On You Crazy Diamond, and found mixed results. Some people made some good patches with samples, but that doesn't cut the mustard for me - firstly because they immediately give themselves away as samples when you play at anything other than the root pitch, and secondly because I avoid samples where possible out of sheer old-school prejudice! :lol:

There are some great patches for the NS2 for the multi-layered chords, but they use both slots, so no good for the lead if you only have one board.
So i used the B3 organ to supplement a detuned saw with chorus, LFO instead of phaser and the results are pretty OK IMHO.
That left slot A free for my nice Moog synth lead.

Anyway, there's my justification for revisiting old ground out of the way, and here's the patch.

Performance tips:
- The Mod Wheel is set up as a morph to control the levels of Synth B and Organ together, so you can do the fade-in at the beginning of part 1
- The Preset II button in the organ section switches to a slightly different organ - you can add adjust 8th drawbaw while playing, to add that high G which is hard to reach
- Sustain pedal will sustain the chords but not the lead, so you can change chords more seamlessly ;-)
- Lead Moog synth has aftertouch vibrato, (although Richard Wright probably used mod wheel for that originally).
- Recommend tweaking the main FREQ knob and the amp drive on the lead synth (slot A) to get the brightness to your liking.

Hi Quai34. i think Rick was using a ARP Solina Strings (don't know which combination though, maybe a full or strings only), a B3 with slow leslie and a Moog Taurus for the bass. Of course you have to add to the pad the Wine glass Harmonica, which they recycled from a previous project and (wikipedia source) an EMS VCS3, which i can't hear what patch could possibly be.

I can't add anything to Paciozzos answer. FWIW In an unrelated topic I made a Nord sample of a wine glass harmonica (aka Armonica) - quite a unique sound https://www.norduserforum.com/nord-user-samples-nsmp-samples-f14/glass-harmonica-t8164.html?hilit=Glass%20harmonica#p52953

This program is seriously the greatest thing ever. That lead sound is so rich I love how the frequency knob can adjust its character. Can't wait to use it on some recordings.
