help recreating a sound on jx-8p
Posted: 16:18, 16 July 2015
So I'm new to synthesizers.. mainly a piano background. I'm trying to replicate the lead keyboard
riff sound from Europe's "The Final Countdown". I've read they used a Jx-8p to create this sound originally
and you can see the jx-8p in their video from the 80s. I believe they used the stab brass preset sound as a
base but somehow made it more compressed and powerful? I'm not sure how to describe it in audio terms.
I played with my jx-8p last night for a few hours trying to recreate the sound but whatever I did took
me further away from it.
Can anyone give me any guidance on how to recreate it? Jx-8p parameter settings or a spx patch would be awesome!:)
Thanks,
Mike
