Roger Troutman Patch Micro Korg S
Yo wassup fam, I'm in need of a good synth VST, something that has alot of the patches similar to today's popular synths. I mean just to start, Justin Timberlake's 'My Love' pad.something that has that. And as far as 80s sounds, I mean like the real popular synths and I'll post some samples. I second taking a look at the Korg Legacy digital collection with the M1 (great for the PCM base piano and strings) and the wavestation (great for more synth type rhythms and melodies) Also you might want to take a peek at NIs FM8. It's a full featured FM synth. It is rather massive, but can do a wide range of 80's and 90's FM sounds.
If you are a fan of Roger Troutman and Zapp and you own a Korg X5D or X5Dr and a talkbox (Jim Dunlop, Electro Harmonix, Rocktron, etc.), I can give you (for free) Roger's signature talkbox sound. Just email mail me at grooveisfunky@earthlink.net for that talkbox patch program sound. Hey Mistergroove, I need some advice about using a talkbox. You seem to be pretty knowlegable about obtaining the 'Roger Troutman' sound. I just began messing around with the talkbox and I hooked it up to a Yamaha Motif ES8.I have found a few sounds that I'm content with, although it isn't the exact sound of Roger Troutman, but it's close.
Alternatively there is FINELINE which is a freeware FM synth. There is a lot less control over the sound sculpting, but you should be able to get some FM pianos and flutes.
You could also look into some of the emulators like the Jupiter 8V and the MiniMonsta, although these would not be all in one solutions, but they can add to a palate of sounds. Chamomileshark wrote:M1 was the name of the synth, I'm not sure it meant but that was designated (in the same as TR808, DX7 etc). Similarly the 01/w thing. Korg Digital Legacy bundle is a VST version of the M1, the Wavestation and an effects device. Try the Korg website re suppliers. I don't think you can download because it requires a dongle.Ok I figured the M1 was a synthesizer. I'll try those sites now.You wouldn't have any idea about the Sawtooth Wave sound I posted or the warbly sound would you?
Really any late 80s digital synth: Korg M1, T1, Roland D50, JV anything, Ensoniq TS10, TS12, SQ2 etc.The electric piano is just an electric piano sound with reverb on it.When you talk about the 'warbly sound' do you mean the talkbox vocal? Kind of singing robot voice?That's a talkbox, do a search for talkbox and you can learn about it. Roger was the king of this.If you wanna do new jack swing type music, you are gonna have to actually write some music, that's the hard part. The sounds are not that special in my opinion.Also, for example the wobbly flute in the second video, the reason it sounds that way is because of how the guy is playing it with lot of pitch bend and modulation, not because it's a great sound.
Really!So practise playing and try and work out some good chord changes.Here's a free one, typical new jack swing/early 90s RnB:Cmaj7 (one measure)B7 (one measure)Em9 (one measure)Dmin7 (half a measure)D dim (half a measure).

If it does, thats sweet. But I was just wondering if there was some patch out there that could generate the same result.

Really!I know New Jack took skill to make, the good new jack that is. But I'm more concerned about some of the sounds, such as the sawtooth wave sound in the 2nd video and alot of the synths Teddy Riley used. I'll def look at the synths you posted above. I just got the M1 and Wavestation.

I dont know how good your musical ear is, but if you can transcribe the chords during the first verse. If I'm not mistaken the chord prgoression changes a bit during the 3rd time around of the repeat if that makes sense. The only warbly sound I can hear on Blackstreet is Teddy Riley on the talkbox, maybe I am missing what you're talking about, possibly you could describe it better?If you look at the 4th video, it says ralph 1998 before you click play.there's a warbly sound that Roger used during the 0:15 to about 0:30 segment there.
Microkorg Vs Microkorg S
Its similar to the first 2 measures you hear in the blackstreet song, you have to REALLY have a ear out to hear it in the blackstreet song because for some reason Teddy decided only to do it in the first 2 measures lol.
