Vintage Synth Repair

I believe the sound you're referring to is a shakuhachi sample that was
originally found in the Emu Emulator II library. I think it was also found
in the Fairlight library as well. Peter Gabriel used it on "Sledgehammer" as
well. I think you can find it in the Emu Proteus rack mounts or in sample
form for various samplers. When the band I used to be in performed
"Sledgehammer" I found a close sample in a Roland U-220 sound module.

Subject: [vintagesynthrepair] mystery synth patch?

 

  

hello all! i have been involved with various syths, (korgs, rolands, yamaha)
over the past several years. I have searched in vain for a particuliar flute
sound. one of the best examples is the opening notes from the Michael Bolton
song "Can i touch you there" found on his Greatest Hits CD. the sound
appears again around 3:00 and 3:36. the new age group Enigma also uses this
sound on many cuts. I am hoping someone with vast experience with various
synths and modules might advise as to where i can locate this patch? i
currently play a korg pa1x pro and a yamaha 9000 pro. thanks in advance and
Happy New Year to all!
