How-To/Tutorial: Wurlitzer Electric Piano patch on Analog Synth (Minilogue) 

I think the way you went about it worked well, where you described what we were looking for first, and then explained the technical aspect. Now I also have some key words I understand more because of the way you went about it. Thanks! Keep doing this kind of stuff it’s great.

Great! Do you have any requests for other tutorials?

@@Thoracius I'm currently diving deeper into analog synthesis with the Minilogue, and would appreciate any tutorials focused on this synth. Nothing definite, any non-obvious sounds/techniques would be interesting.

nice dude thank you for this

@@NewKidOnTheBlock100 you're welcome! ;3

I will need to give this a try now

Nice buddy, this is the way to explain a patch. You know sometimes you justvwant that patch but don’t wanna listen to someone talk forvan hour. I liked this video but i wish dude would have gave us a big shot of his whole board.

Which novation do you have? I have a xio and find the velocity settings for a piano sound tricky to use.

@@martinwicker7015 I have summit. Piano patches are pretty difficult for me too

I have another video where I specifically do this patch and an FM-style piano in the MicroFreak: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YhcZI6d0ZZU.html

@@Thoracius cheers i'll take a look at it. I mailnly use the volca fm for this .

Thanks!

Thanks! And yeah, I dig Tame Impala, and it would be fun to do a video recreating some of their synth sounds. Are you referring to the lead synth that comes in at 2:43 (there's two different synths hard-panned left and right)? Or a different synth later in the song, like 3:51? (I think the main sound during that part is actually be a guitar with a ton of effects (fuzz, reverb, reverse delay).) Or a different sound?

@@Thoracius thanks for getting back! I was actually referring to the part at 3:51, but I could see it being guitar now that you say that. Idk why but that sound has always been very appealing to me lol. Very impressed by your skills to identify and recreate sounds! A tame impala video would be so cool too

Yeah, organs are no problem. Send me an example of what you consider a classic organ? Here are some of the organs I've done on the Minilogue: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0L87Yhg2rXc.html

Definitely can be applied to most any polyphonic subtractive synth. What happens if you apply overdrive to a square wave? Little to nothing, I'd imagine. A square wave with clipping is still the same square wave.

@Thoracius I programmed it on the Rev2 and added some drive to it. It becomes louder, similar to a compressor and a little bit fuzzy. Sounds really good. 🔥🔥 On the Rev2 it is also possible to send noise to the resonance. Sounds super lo-fi vintage. Very simple but effective and versatile patch. Thanks again! 👍

A little bit longer decay. For me it helps if I've got the synth and the song playing back in the same speakers or headphones so I can easily compare back and forth and tweak things to match as closely as I can.

@@Thoracius Thank you so much!

XL+ has digital waveform (DGWS) options, so basically a handful of built-in digital samples. So, for example, it is capable of things like an acoustic piano. But it does have a digital sound to it whereas I prefer the tone and sound of the minilogues -- an audible difference between digital vs analog, I guess.

I don't have a micron but just looking at it it looks like it has all these subtractive synthesis features. Just give it a shot.

​@@Thoracius I took it to a vintage keyboard shop and sent them your video but they told me it's not the same as the Korg, but I'll check with some other folks on this. It's amazing how quickly you dial in that sound on that Korg.

That JX8p "voices" sound is really nice. I think that would be a fun type of sound to do a tutorial for. I've come up with something similar on the minilogue but not as refined: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0L87Yhg2rXc.html Basically you crank up the noise to get the breathy bit. Dial the filter cutoff and crank the resonance to give it a bit of a nasally sound. On the JX8 you can hear there's a pitch envelope so that it slides into the note, like a singer who misses the note and adjusts to hit it. Effects like chorus (or ideally ensemble) and reverb really help sell a choir patch. The JX8 has chorus, huh? The minilogue doesn't have chorus, so you just need to dynamically detune the oscillators to get a similar effect. And of course you need some vibrato, like a singer would have. I'll try to record a tutorial video for it some time soon.

@@Thoracius wow i can’t wait to see that analog human voice video!!

I guess they're just clicky keys. It's getting picked up by the mic I'm talking into.

what don't you like about it?

@@Thoracius doesn't really respond well and doesn't really work to the filter. I'm probably just doing something wrong
