More great sounds and presets this week, including some for the latest Arturia plugin and a bank that sold me a synth! There’s an unwritten rule when voicing a new synth. The very first patch when you turn a synth on is the one that sells it. KORG’s M1 had ‘Universe’ and the Prophecy had ‘Prophetic Steps’. Roland’s D-50 had ‘Fantasia’ and the JD-800 had ‘Millenium’. Heck, even Arturia’s PolyBrute 12 opening patch, cleverly called ‘The Opening’, is a real sonic statement of intent. The theory was that when a customer walked into a music store (remember those?), they would turn a synth on or select Bank A Patch 1 and play. This patch needed to grab them and draw them in. It’s the same as the first sentence in a book. That initial interaction has to sell the synth. Just ask Alesis how important that is. On their ill-fated Fusion workstation, the first 10 patches were pianos. And the very first one wasn’t even that great. Amongst a raft of other things, when the user played it for the first time, all they got was a bog standard piano.

We’ve discussed how to do this using software plug-ins previously, but for many of us software can often be too clinical to capture the experience of using the real thing. First introduced in back 1970, the miniMoog Model D was one of the first synthesizers to feature a pitch wheel. It took most of the basic functionality from Moog’s massive modular systems of the time and rescaled the architecture for a new compact format.
