Special thanks to Ubukata-san for another brilliant bank of presets! And my profound condolences for the devastation suffered by his compatriots as a result of the earthquake/tsunami in Japan.

TBH I don't know Lady Gaga's music at all but the sounds of this bank are really great.

Thanks for this inspiring bank!

(I am not a Gaga fan but) I must say that this gives a nice vision how you might use Origin in this kind concept. I went to listen those songs from Spotify and I must say that some of them are great (almost identical) and some of them close enough for somebody using them for example on gig.

This leads to my earlier thoughts about one (and maybe still quite big) challenge for Origin: Have you managed to make this kind modern super/megasaw/ultrasaw strings sound. IMO this is still quite difficult to make with Origin to sound convincing. Take for example supersaw in Rihannas "Only Girl (In the World)" at 0:48. I have experimented with 9 saw oscillators and effects of course but still something is missing. And if you wanna use origin in Gaga project I think you need this kind thing as well. For example Ubukatas "JDancePad" is quite Ok as a sound but it's still maybe too weak, too vintage to be modern supersawtype strings pad...?

Loved the sounds. Thanks to Arturia for still supporting the Origin and not jumping ship like Radikal Technologies did with the Spectralis modules.
Looking forward to the VST-Integration, that will be the icing on the cake and if promoted properly may well boost sales of the Origin.
Even though people complain that the updates are slow, at least we do get them. Thanks for the supoort.

JacksonP> Even if Origin does not have Super/Hyper SAW oscillator, you can manage to make it sound as it does. I tried to recreate  the Rihanna OnlyGirl sound pad you want. Here's how origin sounds. I needed to use the three effect slots, to be more accurate you need a reverb, i use logic's one in the second example. With more time, I could achieve better result.

Origin with its own effects (no reverb):

Hi RC!

Many thanks for this patch! It has this character! Of course the Rihannas original supersawsound is drowned in the high quality effects which makes it so powerful and spacious, but your sound with effects can be close enough.

First point of mine was just to question that how close Origin can come with these kind of supersawtype strings. Obviously much can be done with its modules which are already there! Still I might say that there're lot people who would be happy to have these super/hyper/ultrasaw-oscillators into Origins collection. It would be just a step towards more more modern world.

Personally I am mostly after those vintage type sounds from my Origin. But as a gigging musician doing lot of different stuff from jazz to dance styles I'd like to have change to get Rihanna-type saws as well. With your permission I will add this "Only Girl" strings to my programs and maybe tweak it a little bit. I already experimented with taking out parametric EQ and putting reverb instead. On stage this could be my compromise. Too bad we only have three slots there and we know about the quality of those effects...

You can use the program of course, my pleasure.
I firstly did the same put the reverb instead of the EQ, but i thought eq was more important.
Of course i'd like to have a supersaw oscillator too

Thanx

Interestingly, Brian London who was Lagy Gaga's Keyboardist on the Fame Ball tour and Rihanna's Keyboardist on the Last Girl on Earth tour, is also using an Origin.

Well i made this for you. 100% synth sound no external effects.

Hola jeruro! Nice one! Keep your origin  ;)
Maybe you could share this patch?
Thanx

Sounds VERY nice!

Like RC, I'd really like to check it with my O...

The patch was made with another famous synth and is imposile to recreate with Origin.

I did this because i think Origin should sound like this as minimun.

What need Origin to sound like this:
 - A better reverb algorithm
 - A better delay.
 - A more capable chorus
 - A Supersaw or similar module.
 - A better Unison implementation.

 :( Too bad, It was too good to be true...!

Let me guess, Access Virus?

Anyway, I'd really like to hear from Arturia is there any chance to get these modules (some day)? I think supersaw is the most important for a start for making this kind of stuff...

Here are a few variations of SuperSaw-style Origin patches made by Nori Ubukata (who also programmed Synth Heroes banks), as examples.

Thanks for these new patches!

Sounds great and very powerful!! For me this is another example what you can get out of Origin if you know what you're doing! And for sure mr. Ubukata does know.

I think for a live player these sounds will cut trough mix easily.

P.S: And thanks for Arturia for a marvellous instrument! Origin still keeps me smiling every day! It's just perfect thing for my purposes...
