An Oxygene/Equinoxe Jarre Patchbank?
Hi folks
How many of us here are Jarre fans? Tangerine Dream fans? My point is that although there are plenty of excellent patchbanks out there, very few seem insistent on recreating the older 'analog' vibes of these seminal 70's albums.
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?

maybe if we get enough folks, we could allocate songs - someone could take oxygene 1, another person part 2, some poor sod can have oxygene 5....
really do need a step sequencer ability, though - it's a real chink in the virus's armour. At least having the Arp as a full modulation source would enable workarounds....

My new step sequencer will arrive any moment...i ordered a genoQs Nemo last week...so it should be perfect for programming those Jarre Arps....

Would love to contribute but bear with me I am brand new to the virus (kb version) and haven't programmed it yet. I am more into TD and Klaus Schulze but JM Jarre is fine too. I have rediscovered the synth after 15 years of musical void I used to own a Roland M100 system (I guess that gives away my age) and I am therefore used to patch programming.

well, I'm sure plenty of us here would love to hear some TD style patches [although there's that need for a step sequencer again...]
I have KS's moondawn/cyborg, and pretty much all the Virgin years TD stuff... I even like Cyclone, which puts me in a minority.... Ricochet or Phaedra or Rubycon are favourites, though...
anyway, I'm sure that a good hunt through the existing patches will throw up a few good starting points... I think it's time that the Virus took on the 1970's..

Ricochet Part two is one of my favourites too.
Regarding the step sequencer I was thinking to buy a Doepfer MAQ 16/3 with just 675 EURO not too heavy on the good old wallet.

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.

MarkOrbit - thanks for the pointers! Oh, and by the way, I managed to find myself another TI [not that it's not obvious, but good to hear from you again!]
