Trying to program this sound from Loverboy’s “turn me loose”. The main synth in the intro with the heavy portamento/glide. Can anyone give me advise on how to get this tone? Thanks! |

I used a Jupiter 8 sound from 80’s pop rock here in the shop. Listed as Working for the Weekend in the pdf. Made a split in performance with piano on the right, synth on the left. Edited each for their appropriate pitch. On the synth side I set the pitch bend to -24 upper and -24 lower. This way you can bend either way to suit your fancy. I strike the opening chord with the pitch bend down all the way and count off to the glissando, at which time I evenly advance the wheel to center, resolving on key. As the pitch increases you’ll notice a stepping sound through the filters. Same as the Jupiter I have here. Portamento doesn’t sit as well with this sound as it’s to smooth. Oh yeah, I had to create a user voice with the synth sound to tune it to the range I needed for the performance/split. That’s it in a nutshell.
