Hi friends,

Does anyone has a good sweeping sound for Heart of glass ( Blondie ) ? Thanks

Hi-

You can do this easily with the LFO sweeping the filter on your NS2. No sample needed. I would use a Saw wave for the synth and a triangle wave for the LFO. Adjust the time and filter settings to match the recording.

I agree, maybe adding Resonance too. Another option would be to try analog strings with a very slow phase shifter effect. The sound reminds me of what's used in an Exile song "I Want To Kiss You All Over" that has something like an ARP String Ensemble going through a phase shifter.

Here's a link to the Nord page with samples of the ARP Solina String Ensemble https://www.nordkeyboards.com/sound-lib ... ngensemble if you want to try one with the phase shifter effect. Usually my first approach too, creating a synth program for the sound as noted by DJKeys will save you some sample space. Good luck!
