Hello everyone! I'm creating a combi for the Beatles, "Birthday" and am having a tough time with the sound for one part. The honkey tonk piano is easy enough but the filtered piano sound has me a bit perplexed. Any idea how I might create the tone? It's the tone occurring from approx 1:30 onward. It reappears a few times until the end of the song. The biggest "clue" I've found is at the very end of the song when the filter (or whatever is happening is the only sound). Any insight or advice would be helpful and most appreciated.

Try assigning the filter to the ribbon and then touch it at various points to get that "switching" sound.

The effect on the end is the signal being run through a Vox Conqueror MRB and the 3 position switch being manipulated manually between the settings

I just always played regular piano on that song. I understand you wanting to get "authentic" sound, but most people can't tell the difference.

It's much easier than that. That end effect is accomplished by assigning a switch or joystick up or down to "stereo random filter". Have it set to zero normally and adjust to taste when using switch or joystick. I'm nowhere near my synths right now but can give you the settings I use if you need it. My band has been doing this tune since the Triton Classic was new so I have it for the Triton, M50/M3 and Kronos.
