I feel really dumb asking this, but I'm unable to get the general parameters for a particular sound - I'm attaching an mp3 - it's the repeated 4-note pattern. Every waveform I try sounds too buzzy (or the LPF is closed so much my patch sounds muted) except the triangle which isn't strong enough. If anyone has any ideas it would be great. I'm trying this on a Prophet 08 but also have an MS-20 and MS-50. Thanks.

Ahhh... right.. Michael Hoenig, the Departure LP. Excellent!

The classic MS series could never quite get there.

Imagine if Edgar has split instead Peter and Michael had stepped in. Cool

Btw.. those sounds there come from a Minimoog.
You can easily get close with a basic dotcom system.

Hey.. the old Synapse are online somewhere..

Yeah, it is such a fantastic album.

Figured it was probably a Moog. Would it help me come any closer to build the Yusynth Minimoog filter and incorporate that with the MS-50?

The original Minimoog had a ramp/triangle type waveform inbetween the sawtooth and the triangle; I'm wondering if this patch is an example of that. Not many synths that I know of (for some reason) seem to have that waveform.

If you play this stuff by hand then an Octave Cat will be able to be sound just as cool. The MS synths have a certain signature flavour that kinda doesn´t quite deliver the goods. Possibly the moog ladder filter will help you get closer. But then there is something about the VCOs and the envelopes and such.. I dunno.

But.. as far as I understand the architecture of the new Prophet 8, shouldn´t it be possible to get fairly close?

I would think it could and it does have a Saw-Tri wave - is that what it would be? Would make sense but like I said so far haven't come very close.

What does the filter envelope look like? That's also pretty key in this type of sound.

The filter envelope on the P08 is an ADSR.
