I stumbled in a YT video of a very good sound creator (hedge777) - he created various DireStraits songs just like the original
(
that inspired me to try the same with just the ns4 and only the internal possibilities....
I split it 4 times:
lowest - piano-like sound (to make it a little more synthetic I add a bit of ring mod)
mid-low - (only on layer II) another piano to fatten the main synth-sound
mid-high - the main synth sound (in the original a synclavier-/fairlight-patch or so) - I tried an fm-variation...
to create the up-bending effect I use an env-controlled pitch - morphed in by the wheel...(inspired by this post: viewtopic.php?t=25933)
upper - the square-based (plingy) sound in the chorus...
I attached an audio-snippet (only added a bit of EZD3 for drums) and the finished ns4-program.
Hope you like it
Cheers
