Foreigner - Long Long Way Intro

Post by ejwalker »

All - I'm looking for how to duplicate the synth sweep in the intro of Foreigner's "Long Long Way".

Looking for settings, samples, etc. Any tips would be helpful. Working on it now but have an audition and any assistance in making this quicker would be helpful as I have so much to focus on.

Thank you!

Hello, as you've owned a Stage 2 before this, I assume you know how to set up a synth sound using the MOD ENV filter Attack to slowly "open" the filter and Decay to set the timing of the "close". On the Stage 3, set the MODULATION Mod Env to 10, and Freq starting around 2, to set the range of the sweep you want. Try a classic sawtooth wave (try unison=1) for your sound and a pulse (square) wave on the LFO for the note iteration. To help get you started, I have a program posted here named "LFOFilterSweep" that you can modify. I hope this helps, good luck!
