Does anyone have anything similar to the synth solo at the end of In the Beginning by ELP?
Thanks...

"From" the beginning... you can emulate it with a triangle shape oscillator.

Yes, From the Beginning. Thanks for the correction. I'll give it a try. Thanks.

Here it is as close as can be gotten. MW for the very end of the solo.

Here's my ELP From the Beginning patch. It uses low and high synth sounds together on A/B and has a Rhodes just for doing keyboard bass. Hope you like it - take care.

Hi, I still have a Stage 2 for the time being and my band will be covering From the Beginning. I used the same approach of using synths in Slots A and B to get the octave spread - mine sounds "OK", but yours sounds better. Do you still have a Stage 2 version of this patch? I would love to compare notes regarding all the other settings you used - i.e., specific wave forms, glide settings, envelope, wet/dry, amp sim, etc.

Also, if you have experience with the actual Moog settings that Emerson used... I don't own a Moog, but I'd love to learn any basic Moog facts that relate to this sound, if you'd care to share them. For example, which Moog did he use? - what knobs would he have turned? (it would be fun to look at a picture of a Moog control panel and think about how someone would have achieved that sound). Thanks!

I have the Stage 2 version posted at nord-stage-2-programs-ns2p-ns2pb-files- ... t7676.html and you might find the following link helpful for other Stage 2 programs as well: nord-stage-2-programs-ns2p-ns2pb-files- ... 16863.html.

I believe Keith Emerson used an ARP synthesizer on this song - the Stage 2 controls used would include the MOD ENV DECAY, FREQ, MOD ENV, and RES (resonance). Learning more about the Stage 3 after the post above, it is possible to get two notes using OSC1 and OSC2 on the Stage 3 (one Synth slot). Obwanz has a Stage 3 version posted before mine that I really like where synth effects are morphed to the Mod Wheel for sounds at the end of the song. You might want to try that after loading the Stage 2 program and see what you come up with. I hope this helps. Take care.

Thanks!! I don't know how I missed it when I searched, but thanks for the quick reply!

just unbelievable work. it is perfect!! Wow
