I can do it for you, but it’s hard to put this band together. We all recorded our parts to a click track long distance during Covid. I doubt I could get them to record a whole song again now that they are back playing live. Would you want just the keyboard part to Grand Illusion or the whole cover band?

Thanks man! Always wanted to play this one since a child. I’m glad the guys suggested it. Finally forced me to learn it

OBX emulator- I’m jealous! All in all, it’s a pretty easy synth sound to get close enough to. This is what I did here, maybe it will give you a place to start: First off, set the performance mode to MONOPHONIC. It won’t sound right if it’s in polyphonic mode. Start with a straight sawtooth wave from your oscillator(s). Set the cut-off frequency close if not to fully 100%. (It’s a bright timbre). For envelope, take just a bit off the attack off by setting attack to maybe 5%, but play with attack until it sounds right. 0% Decay, Sustain 100%, and just a hint maybe 5% release. Most important is to get the portamento right- just a hint to get that glide effect. That’ s pretty much it. Hope it helps and thanks for watching!

@@cjheaford Thanks.. I just have my mac hooked up with Mainstage and the Sonic Projects OP-X PRO-II. But... i think setting that thing up is still over my head. :)

Glad it helped!

Thanks! It was a blast to play.

Thanks man! Hope this helps.

Correct, as we all played the song parts during Covid away from each other, we picked a current modern live version from 2019 to play along with for timing to sync up. ua-cam.com/video/srHPx2ZUI2s/v-deo.html This video was the original project that spawned the keyboard tutorial after we isolated the keyboard video Christian sent us.

Hey Koko- I tried to mimic Denis DeYoung’s original as closely as possible, so I used a factory preset organ sound layered with a punchy sawtooth synth patch I had to make from scratch because there was nothing close for that in the presets. The monophonic solo synth sections was a sawtooth waveform, cutoff frequency was all the way up, I took the edge off of the attack so the notes hit more softly, then I added a tiny bit of portamento. Portamento is the “sliding” from note to note effect like a steel guitar player would do.

Dennis DeYoung used a layered (multi-tracked back then) regular Organ and Sawtooth synth patch during the verses, so that’s what I did here too. The organ on my keyboard is a factory preset with no alteration, and the Synth patch I made from scratch to try to match the original as closely as possible. The synth patch for the monophonic solo sections I created using a basic sawtooth waveform, backed off the attack slightly, and added a tiny bit of portamento. Portamento is the “sliding” from note to note rather than jumping in steps.

Welcome! Thanks for watching!
