Re: Dark synthwave Karl Casey´s style of synthesizer sound


They don´t sound like Moogs. Nothing wrong with those, but Casey´s synthesizers sound like they come from another synth-color. Korgs or Rolands? A more raw sound IMO.
Sorry to necro this thread but I love a lot of this guys music. The cinematic synthwave tracks have a great ear for melody and effective arrangement. Many of his sounds are mid-late 80s style presets on a Wavetable synth. Have a look at the Korg Wavestation for this kind of thing. You want a synth with "era correct" presets. With Karls prolific output, the blocky basic song-mode nature of his arrangements and the simple production, I imagine he's banging these out on an MPC or similar. A lot of the presets sound like the bell sounds in the MPC Hype synth.
Many of the sounds are Juno type sounds there's also FM7 type stuff too but I think the Wavestation/ PPG Wave synths of the era. Also check out the Emulator synth. I think those are the hard to define sounds you are referring to. Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
