This has been a long time coming, but I finally feel like I've built enough (usable) sounds using just the VA and FM engines in the Fusion. I try to stick to these engines because of the non-existent load times (and I'm old school). I also use a minimum of effects, too (which helps if you want to use them in a mix/song. For the most part, any effects are limited to primarily a light reverb/delay.
Since I'm an analog (and VA) nut, I've tried my best to recreate some of my favorite sounds from my different pieces of gear.
I don't have an audio demo, but here's a list of the sounds:
A1 - Analog Piano: I tried to build a purely analog piano sound that had the same expressiveness as a sampled piano. Sure, it sounds a bit "harpsicord-ish," but I find it very enjoyable to play. It reminds me of the old 8-bit Nintendo soundtracks from when I was a kid.
A2 - Analog Piano 2: A variation of above.
A3 - Moog Bass 1: A really simple and warm 3 Osc bass sound (mono)
A4 - Moog Bass 2: A variation of above. (mono)
A5 - OB-12 Pad: This is based on a pad that I like on my OB-12. It's rather thin (due to the HP filter), but it really starts to speak in the lower octaves.
A6: OB-12 Pad 2: This is a variation of above, but really representative to the harsh sounding VA potential that the OB-12 has
A7 - Det Moog Ld: I love this lead sound. It reminds me of Eddie Jobson's lead he used in UK's Danger Money album. It's also a bit Wakeman-ish (mono)
A8 - OB Strings: Another OB-12 type sound. Really soft analog strings
B1 - FM Lead: An "analog-ish" sounding FM lead (mono)
B2 - OB Pad: It's kind of a stretch for an Oberheim sound, but it I like it.
B3 - FM Sitar: Just what it says.
B4 - Belew Synthaxe: It started from the Sitar sound, but this sound reminds me of a lot of Belew's sound he used on King Crimson's "Thrak" Album.
B5 - FM Farts: Just what it says.
B6 - FM String Swell: Some heavily filtered FM Strings.
B7 - Analog Vibes: A really soft vibraphone sound.
B8 - Arjian Lucassen Lead: This sound reminds me a lot of the lead sounds that Arjian used on the Space Metal album - Very "Sega Genesis-ish"
C1 - Funeral 4 a Friend: Sounds like the intro for the classic Elton John song
C2 - Arriving UFO: The bridge sound of of the classic Yes tune from Tormato
C3 - AN Organ 1: A nice soft analog Hammond organ. Use knobs for drawbars.
C4 - AN Organ 2: A slightly bitier B3-ish organ w/ a bit of fast Leslie. Use knobs for drawbars
C5 - Warble Bass: I know I modeled this sound after something, but I can't remember what it was. It's another moog-ish sounding bass. (mono)
C6 - Tony's Arp Soloist: This one was modeled a bit after Tony Bank's Pro Soloist lead that he used on Genesis' Lamb Lies Down On Broadway album. This lead CUTS. (mono)
C7 - OB Strings 2: Another Oberheim-ish sounding string.
C8 Awakeman Minimoog: I came upon this by accident. To me, it sounds a lot like Rick Wakeman's Minimoog lead on Yes' Awaken (from Going For The One).
Anyway - here you go. Hope you like it.
