the synth at the start...
its a Roland Vk-8... ive searched for a sample or wave files all over the internet and couldnt find...
i tryed to reach the sound by myself and had no luck...
anyone can give me a hand on this one? (i have a Nord Wave)
thank you very much!

to me it sounds like two square waves, the second slightly detuned. add to that two-note chord memory and a hi-pass filter. shortest attack, long sustain and no release in tne envelope. one lfo with slight, high frequent oscillation on both oscs.

will that do the trick?

EDIT: second wave can perhaps be an organ wave. posted one from the from my dw-8000 in another thread here.

I agree with the Synth sounding of the video which would go in the direction of BiscoMix's suggestion. In particular the fast LFO seems to be there.

However, if it was a VK-8 must have been an organ as the base.
So I tried the B3 mode, only the 4th harmonic drawbar full out, no percussion, leslie on at STOP position, and try playing around with Chorus C2 On or Off.
Then play a B4 note and it should sound almost as in the video.

sounds a bit like the intro of the Classic Hands of Time (

EDIT: Sorry, saw it was for the Wave, so would need to sample this drawbar settings, but should be easy!

thank you guys, this was helpful
still cant get the filth of the sound like it really sounds in Count In Fives (the video i put), but im starting to think theres an effect on it too...
cheers!!
