Depeche Mode Synth/Moog Lead ( It’s no Good Cover)

[cellopet]

Hi guys, I’m trying to explore the Synth block as I’m trying to emulate some Depeche Mode sound; in particular (with my band without Keyboard player ) we are trying to cover It’s No Good and Home ( 90’s Ultra period).
Any tips or help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Marcello

here's a very quick go at the "it's no good" lead sound

no idea what you're after in "home"

btw - if you're in a covers band that doesn't have a keyboard player, probably not a great idea to cover songs that have loads of synths in them. #justsayin

We are going to do Precious and put some chunkin in it. The synth leads will be good for stems. Gonna try this patch out. Thanks Simeon

Thanks man. We are trying to cover it rearranging it. So the patch is a good starting point.
And thanks for the patch

This is perfect for the lead section!
Now I’m searching for the beginning riff. Thanks again

this isn't brilliant, but it might do at a pinch. i expect you could probably get both sounds into one preset and switch via scenes

This killer. I have lots of cools uses for this

 

[simeon]

here you go - threw some other stuff at it, to make it more interesting for lead stuff...

 

[cellopet]

I made a single preset with different scenes, it sounds perfect!

 

[simeon]

great!

Simeon, you're such a treasure... I've been stealing patches from you since I got my first fractal. I wish I could have half the knowledge of sound design that you've forgotten by now.

How can I obtain the sweep freq filter effect at the very beginning?

 

[simeon]

stick a low pass filter in there and attach your expression pedal to it. define the start and end frequencies you wanna sweep between. the is axe fx 101.

Sorry, I’ve never managed at all with filters...

Here you are

Scene 1 is the Intro, scene 2 is intro with Pitch Shifter and Scene 5 is the Lead

Thanks again
