Hi everyone,
I see in my search a lot of questions regarding the modulated section of Frankenstein, I’m not even worried about that. I however would love some direction to a comparable synth sound for the main riffs and runs and solo before the modulation stuff. I think I just broke myself listening to hundred of sounds between my nord and Fantom and I’ve given myself a migraine trying to get something even close enough to tweak. Anyone ever do this song? Is it just me and some sort of weird blind spot? Any advice?

Re: Edgar Winter Frankenstein - “normal” synth parts
Yeah. The name of the song was chosen as a result of all the studio work that went into the track. You're hearing an array of modular synths for the most part, along with organ and a few standard Moogs.wanderjoe wrote: ↑11 Nov 2024, 00:49 Hi everyone,

I've seen bands try it live -- even with two keyboardists -- and it usually sucks bigtime. So for me it's on that short list of songs that really can't be done well live for 99% of bands.
Your best bet would be to assemble an array of software modular synths on an iPad and get busy with programming.
I think I have gear issues ....

I worked a show running sound/lights for Edgar Winter at the Santa Cruz boardwalk Coconut Grove in the early 80's. Only one keyboard player. Edgar had a modified keyboard attached to an Arp 2600. You can see the controller in this video

Re: Edgar Winter Frankenstein - “normal” synth parts
Yes it’s totally playable, but I lack the any synth programming skills to cook the arp sounds myself and there are no presets or guides that I can find. It’s kind of crazy to me considering how as a keyboard player I idolized this song. I would have thought there would have been more content dedicated to it.
