Message: [QUOTE="Eric Barker, post: 185153, member: 9068"] I agree, it's pretty much one of your most basic leads to get. Fine tuning it to get the "thickness" just right takes a little work. Oberheim OB-X had 2 oscillators per voice (note), which doesn't get you quite the thickness the original sound had, so I suspect some chorus effect was applied as well. It was then run through a Marshall amp, not sure about the gain, but definitely a touch of distortion can work. You can get close even without those tweaks. But in the modern era, I tend to aim for more thickness then less, so adding a 3rd oscillator or chorus definitely suits what I like. Curiously, for the solo, a screw it all together and play on a Wah lead modeled on Derek Sherinian's lead sound. I really love wah leads for synth solos, as keyboards don't produce the timbral variations that guitars do, so it puts back in some of the organicism. The guy I replaced on keyboards doesn't seem to like it, but no-one in or out of the band has ever complained, and he's not in the band anymore, so whatever. [/QUOTE]
