Hello everybody!

I'd want to play this very good remix of the killers' mr brightside, has someone an idea of the sounds used here?

I've already created a patch, with arpeggio and layer, but I'm too far from the original sound.

Here's the link to listen :

Hi there,
Here is the program I made for the original version of Mr. Brightside(not the remix).
I used it on a gig this past weekend and it worked pretty well. I'm just a beginner at synth programming on the NS2 so I'd welcome any feedback!
Anyway, here it is.....

so close ... :thumbup:
the pad is perfect imho,
the bell, maybe lower the sustain amp enveloppe ? lower the filter as well ?
I would also try (you may have already tried that, but just in case) to add some filter mod to make it "pop" like a buble.
:cheers:

Thank you Frantz, it has been difficult for me to obtain a quite good sound for the "bells", and it's not so close of the original sound I think... If you have some time to spend on this sound, could you try to improve it too? I agree with you, it needs some more "pop" !

Merci, fab

I could not resist to try :)
I reduced the filter, used LP24, added resonance, removed mod env vel, reduced decay amp env.
I am not sure it's closer, but I tried !

@Frantzkb: quite good, but I think you need to open the filter a bit more, the original one has more brilliance :)

PS: Hey, the percussive sound in background at the beginning of the song is veeery similar to my "Matrix12 Pitched Voltage"! :o

Thanks frantz, it comes closer!!

Max, i listened to matrix12 and it seems to be similar, perhaps it could be used for this song...

Thank you all

Hi,

Fab, what sample did you use for the left hand / the pad ?
(It's number 73, but I haven't got the factory sample anymore)
