As everyone here probably knows, I’m a guitarist and basically synth illiterate… That said, I’m sequence savvy and want to do a project for my 11 yo and need a U2 “Streets With No Name” synth sound.
This kid may be a guitar phenom in the works, he locks tempo and nails dotted 1/8th delay and can play the tune with the record quite well. He’s already able to listen to new songs a couple of times and play the bulk of them complete with doing amp and delay settings with zero help from me. He’ll grab a guitar unprompted and play for hours pretty much every day.
His next big step in his guitar-Jedi training is to play in context of a credible click-tracked mix without the guitar parts being present to cue him. Which means dear old dad gets to put some tracks together for him.
I only have Dexed, Ultra Analog, OB-Xd, and the free Uhe synths. Anyone out there have insights on whether these are usable for this project and/or how to get a credible Streets sound? Don’t need dead ringer, just something credible. Willing to make a VSTi purchase if that’s what it takes.
