Hello, Can anybody advise me on how to create synth sounds used by ABBA on their songs, so I can re-produce the same sounds when performing. Thanks, BC |

That’s a very broad request at best. ABBA used many synths and so many different sounds--you would need to be more specific, and/or give us a link to what you’re looking for. |

But, with a little time and of course some compromises nearly everything is possible with the XS. A few days ago we’ve had the intro-sound from Pink Floyds “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” as a theme in the german Motif-Forum. So I invested two up to three hours for some sound-examples and a very, very short demo - just to show what is possible. And if you like it, here are the sounds. Please, backup your data before loading and… have fun. hp |

Hey very nice Hape! Thank you for sharing this ;), love my Floyd man, excellent tweaking job to those voices, that intro sound sounds just like the Floyd one :) ( I think the Mourn Strings ) BC, you definitively asking at the right place but like Synthlogic said, post a bit more specific info, such as what song by Abba and what sound in it etc. I am sure someone here can give it a go and share the settings of the tweaked voice or tel ya how to do it yourself ;) Jose. |

BC......do you have much experience with synth programming? Many of the sounds ABBA used are basic--sawtooth or square waves with various filter and envelope settings. When I need to duplicate a sound, I search though what I already have in the XS (or other keyboard), then alter that sound to taste. It’s a great way to learn. |
