Hey everyone,
Just got the Electro 3 in February 2011. Loving it. I play in a wedding/dance band (we play dance hits from the last 40 decades). We're working a lot of new tunes, one of which is "Canned Heat" by Jamiroquai. In this song there are a lot of lazy string lines, and string "hits" in the chorus (I should say it's a string "fall", actually). Are there any good patches out there for this? I'd prefer a patch that could play the lazy string lines (it should seem to have a portamento-type effect when you play a melody) as well as a string fall when the key is hit at maximum velocity. If that's not possible (or if it doesn't yet exist), i just need the string fall sound.

Now that I think about it, it's basically a string version of a brass section patch on the yamaha m08 or motif (can't remember what it's called, but when you hit the key at maximum velocity, it's like a brass hit with a fall).

Thanks!


BTW,
this is the song on youtube for those that don't have it:

Hi !

Could you post a mp3 of the sounds you want.
It will be easier to get closer to your need.

I will turn them into a NS2 patch but if you don't want to wait for me to get round to that, here you go

Any chance I could take an ear at your disco strings ?
Need to play some Jamiroquai songs 1st June, would be happy to see if your RealStrings could match !

Thanks,

Fred

I see that this thread never saw any samples posted, so let me revive it.
Does anybody have a sample of the superb "disco strings fall" which feature in a quite a few Jamiroquai songs?
I think the sound increases in pitch a tiny bit while attacking and drops in pitch at a slower rate, but it seems quite tricky to do with that pitch stick thing.

Hope that helps,

Yup, that's nice! Thanks for the pointer!

good stuff. only thing is that the string fall is weird to use as a patch of its own because i like switching back and forth between fall and arco etc. maybe a right hand fall and left hand normal strings would be useful

There is "disco strings" with falls for motif and kontakt
