Night Ranger - Don't tell me you love me.
Aldo Nova - Fantasy
Van Halen - Dreams
Bon Jovi - Wild in the streets
Toto - Hold the line

[quote="AdDeRoo"]Thanks Busch!

Few suggestions for Vol2:
Van Halen: 1984
Van Halen: Jump

AdDeRoo,
The best patches for both 1984 & Jump by far that I have heard and use are by Korgman. Look him up on the forums. You send him an e-mail and he will send you some great patches.

yes, I know the ones of Korgman. They indeed sound great. But there might be a possibility to outbeat them.. Thanks

OK, so I moving along with vol 2 and have the following in on some form of completion. Thinking mostly in an 80s top hits vein, what needs to be on this list?

Journey: Don't Stop Believing
Journey: Send Her My Love
Animotion: Obsession
Dobbie Brothers: Minute by Minute
Supertramp: Goodbye Stranger
Supertramp: Logical Song
Collins: Take Me Home
Collins: Sussudio
Collins: Another Day in Paradise
Collins: Against All Odds
Foreigner: Cold as Ice
Springsteen: Dancing in the Dark
Tears for Fears: Head Over Heels
MJ: Thriller
Lauper: All through the Night

Busch.

I'll repeat the ones I mentioned earlier:

Open Your Heart (Madonna)
Let's Hear It For The Boy (Deniece Williams)
Bette Davis Eyes (Kim Carnes)
Everybody Wants to Rule the World (Tears For Fears)
Heart of Glass (Blondie)
Don't You Want Me (Human League)

to which I will add Sweet Dreams (Eurythmics)

Also, if you ever further update Vol 1, I see you have the ELP Trilogy lead sound that comes in at 3:15, but as long as you have that, if someone really wants to play around with that song, it would be great to have the other two distinctive synth sounds in that song, the big layered riff that comes in at 3:05, and the alternate lead synth sound that comes in at 6:11. The latter is a pretty easy sound, but that first one would be tricky!

That was discussed early in the thread, with all the ARP Pro Soloist talk. Though back to the 80s theme, there's Genesis like Abacab, Turn It On Again...

Thanks so much for the sounds so far! I have a challenge for your great programming skills...

Main GX1 sound on ELP Fanfare for the Common Man. Not the brass solo intro but the full fat sound in the main body of the track. I have tried various times but never get that close!

Other tracks from 70s/80s might be...

Simple Minds waterfront piano/pad combo
Japan Ghosts
Some Depeche Mode tracks - lots to go at there and seem to be rarely attempted
More Genesis as already requested
Thomas Dolby various tracks
Rick Wakeman leads
YMO eg Rydeen sounds

Thanks again- much appreciated and you inspire me to programme more to improve

Visage - Fade to Grey
Men without Hats - Safety Dance
Eddy Grant - Electric Ave (Motorcycle sound)
Taco - Puttin on the Ritz
Gap Band - Dropped a Bomb on me.
Dazz Band - Let it whip.
The Cars - (The possibilities are endless)
Foreigner - W.F.A.G.L.Y/ That was yesterday.

Once again, thanks for your excellent sounds!
I have a question about the toto horns patch. Is there supposed to be a sort of "windy" noise throughout the whole sound? Mine has quite a loud "wind" noise and I'm not sure if it's a glitch or a characteristic of that particular program
Thanks

Great work! The Duran Duran & the Japan PCG's were spot on!!
YOU ROCK!

I'm hoping that some of you guys get brave enough to dig under the hood of all those synth parameters in busch's patches, and school yourselves by fiddling with them to see how he gets those patches to sound a certain way. Then one day, maybe that day, or week or whatever, things will start to make sense, and you can start making your own sounds.

Just a suggestion.
