How many of us would like to see a patchbank full of so-called 'vintage' sounds? - you know, sweeping string washes run through the Virus 'Smallstone' Phaser, those infamous laser-zap effects, synthesised seagulls, stabby vintage leads etc, white noise swooshes etc etc......

[Of course, don't get me started about the lack of arpeggiator-to-osc-pitch as a mod source, or at least a simple step sequencer function - Access, please implement one for OS 3.1!!!!]

It seems that there are plenty of Jarre-emulators out there, and their websites are full of comments like 'can you share your patches?' - so there must be a few of you who'd like to get these sounds!

I'm slowly recreating a few sounds from Oxygene, but having trouble with the EMS effects [although when I saw Jarre live last year, even he couldn't reprogram them exactly...] - if Access won't, would anyone care to collaborate?

Dan - you MUST download the Per Risvik soundset from the access site. You will find a few good ones in there, including the Eminent strings w/phaser, Laser Harp and minipop drum machine. I'd like to hear more Jarre sounds myself.
