Jordan Rudess - Liquid Tension Lead

[jeebustrain]

I followed the tutorial on progsounds to make this one. It's actually a Mix, using 8 stacked VA programs. The effects still aren't exactly like I'd want (it seems a little thin, so I think I need to mess with the compressor a little more).

Also, being that I can't set individual up/down pitch bend values, I decided to use the mod wheel to simulate the 2 octave jump that he did with the giant ribbon on his Kurzweil.

The mix is in a bank called 'JR Lead'

I suppose this is the effect you are talking about on this video.
I'll check out your patch today. Thanx.

are you asking if that's the lead I made? No, it's his earlier one

You can program individual pitch up and pitch down values : first set the global value to zero. Add a new mod with pitch wheel as the source and pitch as the destination. Adjust the amount of modulation to get a +24 / -24 pitch bend. Then you just have to create a new table on this modulation to limit the pitch bender's action in the upper part of the curve.

Hello Jeeb: the lead is amazing.. amd sounds great. Thanks ! I've enjoyed ! regards.

thanks! I actually have a much improved version that I fixed after I posted. I also set up the +2-12 pitch bend on it. I'm in the process of moving right now and my Fusion is boxed up, but once I get everything unpacked, I'll upload it.
