Share Your Favorite Sounds With Us!
Use slow VCF and VGA attack for "bowing" effect.
Set Skew control for metallic "twang".
Set VCF range and 0 controls to a low range or the patch looses it's string bass sound.

Can you provide audio examples and/or preset files for any of the patches in this article? More Info
For all the patch charts published in these magazines, we'd like to get audio demos, and if possible, sysex files, or plugin presets, so users can easily preview the patches alongside the chart and download them for their synths, without having to transcribe them first.
So, it would be helpful for the hardware we don't own, if others could transcribe some patches, and create a short audio demo of the patch, and if possible, sysex and/or plugin preset files for those patches, and upload them using the form on the articles featuring those patches.
Audio previews:
Max 4MB, preferably 5-20 secs in length, MP3 format only. You can make previews using the original hardware, and/or plugin emulations. Let us know what they are in the comments of your upload.
Sysex files:
Zipped *.syx files, containing just the patch entry (or entries) for one patch listing.
Plugin presets:
Many synths have plugin emulations which can recreate or import sounds from the hardware. Zip up a file of the formats you can generate, and let us know which instruments they are for in the comments of your upload. Host/DAW files such as FXB/FXP and AUpreset are fine, as are proprietry file formats for particular plugins. The more formats we can provide, the more useful the files are. If you can just download some patches and create some formats we don't already have and upload them, that's also helpful.
We'll be transcribing and providing what we can, but we'd be grateful for people who'd like to help with this - thanks!
Your upload will be checked and once verified will be added to this page - we'll notify you when your upload goes live. You may continue to add more files if you'd like.
Thanks for helping us add value to the archive!
Oh no, something didn't work out!
