One thing that confuses people's ears is that we play in D-standard tuning, which definitely changes the sound of the song.<br /> <br /> The sounds of the Oberheim keyboards Geddy used are incredibly unique and hard to imitate using most synths. The lead sound is actually one that I prefer to use for all of my leads. It is basic sawtooth wave (monophonic) with slight glide, which I assign to be variable during performance. <br /> <br /> The keyboard I use for my leads is a vintage Korg DW-8000, which is more like a MiniMoog than an Oberheim. For the "Taurus" bass part, I used a preset in the Yamaha Motif 6.<br /> <br /> You are right, they aren't the greatest sounds, but the seeds to my money tree still haven't come in the mail yet.

Fixed. For some reason I thought he had done the narration at the Wea show. :P http://www.sentence-ov-desire.net/index.php/2006/10/30/lml_halloween_hard_aamp_heavy_show#c266 Tue, 31 Oct 2006 05:55:45 +0000 Skahgerok Sindre [Visitor] c265@http://www.sentence-ov-desire.net/ Thanks for your kind words, just something to note, I'm the narrator and backup vocalist, and I never had any sort of illness. The keyboardist had the illness, but is not the narrator. Hope that cleared some things up. :) http://www.sentence-ov-desire.net/index.php/2006/10/30/lml_halloween_hard_aamp_heavy_show#c265
