Ye. What about it?

its an old ammo box, not a chair.

This sounds damn authentic. You're very skilled.

I've managed to download the three or so patches you've shared and they are amongst my absolute favorite patches out of all of the hundreds I have collected. Amazing contribution. Thank you. Please don't hesitate to release a bank of sounds.

[@nicolaneeco]

Thank you so much Aaron! you've made my day 😊 😊😊

[@monsterjazzlicks]

Where did you collect your patches from please?

[@heyya99]

How does one install the patch file on a synth such as this?

[@JonModular]

Completely agree! Neeco Bank we want!!!

thanks mate!

[@AlvinRamasamy]

ALRIGHT!!

[@B0K1T0]

Beautifully done, love the sound of the synth preset as well! Would love to be able to play this some day but especially in terms of finger independence it's currently very difficult for me. Only gives me more motivation to keep practising though ♥ Can't stand that high F missing a few times though (around 0:40 for example) 😅 a bit like closing a door without hearing a sound.

[@Dolle_Man]

This is spot on! well done Nicola!

Makes me bite the inside of my mouth wanting to wake up but this is it. This is life and someday it'll end and who knows what's waiting for us when we pass. Another life? or is that it? Makes me think, what do you know from before you were born? Nothing. I think that's what death is, nothing. As you don't remember before you were born you will not remember after death.

Best Version

[@cutecoproboi]

Based

[@totalSLACK]

spot on, man. do you think thats how richard plays it? i always thought it was more of layered sequenced notes, but you play it perfect.

[@nicolaneeco]

I played it using a single patch, but the original has two different sounds for the left and right hand. so I think is some kind of layered arrangement

[@totalSLACK]

@@nicolaneeco but hes def playing keys like a piano, like you, and not programming a sequencer to play the notes?.. edit: I'm just looking to feel okay about not being able to play piano like that at all. I love programming sequences, but my brain doesn't let me play coordinated like you. youve got a gift.

[@nicolaneeco]

@@totalSLACK 🤔 probably it's both: played and programmed, I think

[@totalSLACK]

@@nicolaneeco well, you play it perfectly!

Well played. I always thought it has a stocastic yet surprisingly simple tonality to it which resembles the soundtrack of Sim City 2000.

[@youssraelkhoulali8147]

This is soo good. Hiw long have you been practicing piano?

[@nicolaneeco]

thanks!🙏 I started with music as a child: keyboards, bass & drums❤️

[@Gilles_Dombrecht]

so nice! I was wondering if you could give me some advice on the patch, I don't own a prophet but do own a polybrute & would like to recreate it

[@nicolaneeco]

I think the polybrute is perfectly capable of re-create this sound. it's a single oscillator patch. waveform: saw+triangle (with 50% shape modulation, this gives it a bit of a nasal sound). the lowpass filter is 60% closed with 25% resonance. then, a little bit of filter envelope amount (the adsr of the filter is fast attack, medium/long decay, no sustain and long release). they are two different synths but try this one as a starting point. cheers!

[@Gilles_Dombrecht]

@@nicolaneeco thanks for the reply! I was already that far. Saw the waveforms on the video. Coming close.. but not quite the same yet.

[@Gilles_Dombrecht]

@@nicolaneecobtw i think im 100 of those views. So nice! Al your vids are top 👍

[@nicolaneeco]

​@@Gilles_Dombrecht when I re-create a sound here's what I do: 1. I tune the synth (the original track is not 440hz, is +30/40 cents) 2. I learn to play it using a basic or similar patch 3. then I start to build the patch when I'm able play it I think it's much easier to create the sound. hope it helps, let me know!

[@riddubz]

Nice! Would be even better if you used an expression pedal to control the cutoff. But its very well done, makes me want to have this synth 😄

[@nicolaneeco]

You’re right: the expression pedal is very useful with this synth 😉

[@RA_AR]

Will try to recreate in my Prophet -6😊

[@nicolaneeco]

Prophet6😍

[@diMaks_inc]

👍🏻

[@ThomasBecker]

Absolutely amazing. I see you put up a free patch download. now is this specifically for when you have that snythesizer? i was hoping to find a way to load it up on a virtual instrument to via logic. is that possible? i love your stuff

[@nicolaneeco]

thanks Thomas! 🙏 it's not possible to load this patch on a virtual synthesizer: it's compatible only with the Prophet rev2

Hey Nicola fantastic cover! do u still have that download link somewhere for this patch? :)

[@nicolaneeco]

Thanks mate! those download links were a gift for early viewers. I'm currently working on improved versions of these patches for a rev2 soundbank. stay tuned 😉

[@badcakesandwich]

how are you not hitting the highest note tho, like you stop short. very good otherwise but man, it makes my synapses hurt that you aren’t hitting that one note

[@FdLek]

it's just me but this echo sounds like a big chorus on every break in the music.

[@ΠρόχοροςΠρώτης]

I never heard any better...

[@nicolaneeco]

thanks for the kind words 🙂
