Finding Cover Song Sounds

The Arturia Collection is amazing, but there’s so many presets! Not sure if this is a good place to ask, but I’m looking for the 80s sounds of Tainted Love. Some google results say, ARP 2600 and the Synclavier, but what presets? Help?

Hi @nunstummytoo. Welcome to the community.

You mean Soft Cells version of Tainted Love.

I have also heard they used quite many Synclavier sounds. I don’t think you can find the sounds as presets though. You’ll have to try to create them yourself.

The organ like sounds and perhaps both the Brassy sound can be from Synclavier. Perhaps more sounds was made on Synclavier.

There is a preset called “Tainted Love Organ” in the “_Vintage Lab” soundbank by Reverb Machine. I don’t know how close it is, but you can test it in Analog Labs Store.

Perhaps someone who have tried to recreate the sounds or want to will step in.
