Dreamy New Age Synth Harp

Having finally started using the Roland Super Jupiter MKS-80 for the last two Ostracon performances my next goal is to utilize hardware synths for the majority, if not for all, of the instrument sounds during these shows. I have another repair necessary on the MKS-80 to make it performance ready, but other than that I should be in business soon. In preparation I have started weeding out some of the sounds in the MKS-80 internal memory, replacing them with my own programmed patches. Here’s an example of a nice harp-like patch I came up with during my last session. I created the passage by routing MIDI to the MKS-80 from Ableton‘s arpeggiator.

  1. @Pascal. Thanks for asking. Unfortunately, I didn’t save the patch. I rarely do, preferring to reprogram when necessary by ear. This isn’t always practical, but I get better at programming sounds this way. I probably have something similar that I would use as a starting point.
