Steel drum on OS?

[pluto009]

Hi. Does anyone have a patch diagram for the OS which would get me somewhere near the Keith Emerson steel drum sound on Karn Evil 9 2nd impression?

I spent a few minutes and dialed this up on my Voyager, should get you kind of close... play with all the settings and see wha happens


Mod Buss Pedal:
Source OSC3
Dest. Pitch
Shaping On PGM
Amount 6 ( Adjust for tuning/effect)

OSC1/2:
4' ( you can use other octaves if you want)
Sqaure Wave ( play with other waveforms to taste)
slightly detune osc2 from osc1
vol. 10

osc3:
You can have it on or off
4' ( try other octaves)
Adjust tuning to taste.

Filter:
Cutoff, between 6 and 20 or adjustto taste
res. at 12:00
Spacing 12:00
amount; 3:00
Attack 0
Decay 12:00
Susatin 8:00 or to taste
release to taste

Dual Low pass

VCA
Attack .1
Decay 12:00
sustain 0
release 2:00

Try playing with the wave form on osc 3, the tuning and octave settings.
To get more of a "ring Mod" effect turn on the FM 3-1 switch and adjust osc 3's tuning, octave and wav form.

Have fun with it. Your dialing in may varry
