Found on an old cartridge, then tweaked by me. Maybe not the most convincing pianos…or strings, but it works for a vintage feel or mixed with other instruments.

Trying to emulate the string section of a Roland RS-09 string synth.

A monophonic bass with resonance—also works for lead. Use the wheel for vibrato.

Monophonic lead tone. Use the mod wheel to open the filter as needed.

Rhythmic beats from the LFO keep chords in motion for a nice, long time.

Some sort of massive pad with a gradual attack and long decay. Sounds like a mix of choir and strings.

Built on the fly during the synthlib.com podcast—in case you’re dying to have this sound for yourself :)

In the higher ranges, this makes for a nice harp-like sound. Works well with the arpeggiator. In the lower range, works well for bass.

Synth bass with a sharp attack and quick decay. Add delay and a touch of distortion to bring it to life in your mix.

From the manual: “When you get confused with operations or no sound comes out, return to this basic setting and start again.”

The “hello world” of patches. This is your basic starting point—a one oscillator Saw patch.
