Oxygene 4 Lead on 2600

[Wax Mango]

Hello all - since getting my Behringer 2600 I wanted to try to recreate the Oxygene 4 lead following the instructions given by Geiss during an interview...so here you are - I think pretty accurate! They're MP3 samples, ready to drag in to your sampler.

Way too much detune methinks

Can you give us more details about what Geiss said about this sound ?

[Wax Mango]

He actually said very little other than to confirm that the lead originated on the ARP2600, all oscillators were square and there was a bit of ADSR on the filter to shape the sound. OSC3 takes the pulse wave into the filter, bypassing the normalled saw.

I think it sounds pretty spot on. There shouldn't be any detune as all oscillators were tuned in unison.

Always preferred the PLD version of the lead

Thanks for the samples! I do prefer this to the "Oxygene IV" lead in Arturia's SEM V (for example), that's more fitting for Oxygene 8 IMO

I just got a Behringer 2600 myself yesterday and was trying to recreate this sound - you got way closer than I did!

Is there any chance you could post a photo of the settings on your 2600 for this sound?

Patch photo, as requested!

Ah, that's great - thank you my friend!

PS - Awesome looking setup!

Yes too much detune and too little sustain. Change them and you should be much closer to the album original.
