Improvisation LXVI: DSI Prophet '08 Vintage Strings Patch
Published on Jun 27, 2016 Sacred Synthesis
"The Poly Evolver Keyboard provides only a soft flute-like digital pad used to accompany the various melodies. The Prophet '08s provide the melody patch (a combination of 2 different pulse widths) and the strings.
I had already used a vintage string patch with the PEK, so I wanted to demonstrate the Prophet '08's version of the same sound. Of course, I'm using the P'08 keyboard-module pair, which offers greater sonic potential. The keyboard uses a standard 8ft. pitch, while the module is set higher to a 4ft. pitch and brightened up a bit. Hence, to a degree this is a bi-timbral patch. Combined with a generous amount of reverb, this produces that classic vintage strings sound, only - hopefully - better than the old string machines could produce. The master P'08 modulation wheel is set to control the filter cut off frequency, and this, combined with the Hammond's volume pedal, creates the dynamic changes.
