Subject: Darude Sandstorm Synth Lead Sound
Original Message 1/16 15-Nov-02 @ 04:20 PM - Darude Sandstorm Synth Lead Sound
Could anyone hazard a guess as to what synth Darude is using in the lead synth line for "Sandstorm"? I'm not sure. I've enclosed an mp3 clip. Multiple detuned saw waves with an overlay of distortion?
Disclaimer: Keep in mind that I am not attempting to emulate Darude in any way or attempting to replicate his sounds; I am a big believer in creating your "own" sound. I just think it's interesting to try and figure out what other artists are doing.

it's very similar I think in it's core components to this sound used alot by the human league.the darude sound is more grungy tho, but very similar.

I had an idea for a script once. It's basically Jaws except when the guys in the boat are going after Jaws, they look around and there's an even bigger Jaws. The guys have to team up with Jaws to get Bigger Jaws.... I call it... Big Jaws!!!

I can see the resemblance. The Darude sound is harsher, and has a bit more bite. "preset spotter", as for the JP-8080 preset "Sandstorm", that's not it. I have the JP-8080 and the "Sandstorm" preset is a pad.
Interestingly, Darude also uses this sound (or a very similar one) in "I Can Feel the Beat". It's a nice sound (to my ears), although a bit harsh. It does seem to cut through a mix, in the same way that a hoover does.
