Stereophonics' Dakota intro

Stereophonics' Dakota intro

20 Jun 2010, 12:42
I have a Fantom X8 and I'm trying to create the intro to Dakota. The problem is... I read an answer in the Juno section and it was double dutch to me. I'm a pianist and I've never done anything like this before. Would anyone be willing to give me a step-by-step instruction about how to do this? Thank you in advance if you have the patience...

Can you give a link to the juno thread, Harley?

Hi Harley,

Sorry for the delayed reply, I've been away for a few days.

Using a combination of the Parameter list in the OM (normal text) and Artemiy's suggestions (bold text), here's what you need as a starting point:

- Assign saw waves to tone 1 and tone 2
WAVE tab: set tones 1 & 2 to ON, and scan through the wave numbers for SAW waves.

- Detune tone 2 by 7 semitones
PITCH tab: Tone 1 course tune: 0. Tone 2 course tune: -7.

- Set filter cutoff to around 70..80
TVF tab: Filter type: LPF. Cutoff Frequency: between 70 & 80.

- Create a falling filter envelope with a decay of around 40..50, set envelope depth to +15..20
TVF Env tab (the screen will tell you which parameters are ADS&R):
A=Max D=between 40 & 50 S=0 R=0

- In the MFX processor, set it to flanger with a slow rate
Select Effects button & assign MFX type 24 (Flanger) and set the Rate parameter to something slow.

Give us a shout if you need more help :o)

Cheers
Andy

Gulp! Thanks very much, Andy. Will be back home on Thursday. Looking forward to trying it out then. I'm planning on beginning to read the manual when I get my hols in a few days. Other than that, are there tutorials that I could do to learn more about the Fantom?

I'm not sure of any tutorials on editing Patches. I started writing one a while ago, but never finished it. Maybe I should! :o)

Don't worry about the size of the manual. For this, all the info you need is in the "Creating a Patch" section.
If you initialize the Patch before you start and only change the parameters you need to you'll end up with something close. We can work on fine-tuning it later.

Have fun!

Cheers

Hi,

I know it's a while since you posted this but I've recently boaught an X7 and just finished recreating this patch as we gig this song too. I had a JV1000 which I originally programmed the sound on and was really pleased with it. My attempt on the X7 is pretty close (but not quite as good as the JV). If you still need it, I will attempt to extract this one patch from the X7. I'm new to the X7 so am still finding my way around it!


Cheers,
