Re: [korgpolyex] Looking for "Tom Sawyer" Sound

2004-11-16 by russ daren

I am pretty sure Rush used a moog or an Oberheim for
that. I am often after the same kind of sound. You can
get close to it by playing with the 3rd envelope, the
VCF/etc enveilope. But even then, the poly is gonna
have a stairstepping to teh decay which wont be as
smooth as the Rush tone you are speaking of. I haven't
gotten around to the Moog Slayer but that might get
you more in that direction. 
But no you don't need a slow LFO to get that. Just a
long envelope on the VCF.
