Orch5 from the Fairlight.

Of course, never owned one though … plus it’s a sample

Sure, but I don’t want to spam the thread (and also because this is an old track, basically my first with hardware, and I’ve moved on a bit since then, I hope):

Airports is the kind of breathing pad that starts off in the background and gets progressively bigger as the cutoff opens as it progresses. I was also sending it an LFO from the DT (or LFOs, not sure)

Start on Virus Ti2

The first patch on the cobalt 5s is magic, and I love the first two patches on the new prophet 5/10.

Yes!

Waldorf M bank 7 patch 31 “Epsilon Eridani MSt”

type of patch I can just noodle on for hours

The Rhodes-like patch on my (non-programmable) Yamaha 88-key weighted keyboard. Yamaha also has a killer EP sound on the Sonogenic keytar. I own the Reface DX. Looking back, I wish I’d gotten the Reface EP, instead.

I remember when I went from a Korg Prophecy to a Z1, I really missed one patch called “Eerie Sun”.
With such complex synths, presets were a good starting point.

I will have to connect my Cobalt to my computer and check that qtch out as I’m pretty sure I copied over it. I didn’t care for most of the presets on it when I bought it. Wonder if that would change if I revisited them now.

M1 Talkin’ Jam

Thug kick - Digitone

Years back I made this track with the Tempest.
I’ve always liked the main sound a lot.

After changing my rig to all Elektron gear, I recreated it using the A4.
Nevertheless it doesn’t have this raw character the Tempest was so good at.

“Ghosts” on the JD-990.
