duder5k Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 I'm pretty new to music-creation/host software like Renoise and Fruity Loops, but the reason I acquired them was mostly for just messing around, trying to imitate something I'd hear from industrial bands like Nine Inch Nails or Stabbing Westward. But there's one particular song I really want to get the sound of, in FL - Girls & Boys from Blur. It's this cool '90s dance-y Britpop song. Live version (the actual keyboard itself you get a nice close-up of in the opening of the video): Studio/music video version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riE-GI0PxnE Is there a way to get the keyboard sound you hear in that song? Aside from the default, basic vst stuff, I also have: Minimogue VA PoiZone (full version) SimSynth VSTi Toxic Biohazard Yeah...any help would be great, thanks.

prophetik music Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 those sound like two different sounds. it sounds like a harpsichord in the studio version, but there's a fatter sound with vibrato in the live one. for the studio sound, there's an awesome soundfont out there called German8 (i think i got it at hammersound) that you could just fatten up with some eq. for the live sound, it's similar to a mellotron - maybe look for a soundfont that uses tones from one? i think reason's got a pretty nice mellotron set in the factory sound bank as well you could tweak. i make a set that's pretty close in the fl keys (on roto organ) plugin in about two minutes, but then it crashed and i lost it just turn knobs until you hear it getting closer.
