Magic Man

Hi! I need the “magic man” patch as I’m in a Heart Tribute. The factory preset sounds great (leads - magic man), but does not have the modulation wheel “wavy” effect that is used at the end of the album solo.

I have no idea how to program a Moog synth.

Does anyone have a patch for “magic man” that is better, or can someone please tell me how to change it?

thx!

Hi @dhnumber11. Welcome to the community.

I don’t have a factory preset with that name.

Do you mean the Mini V4 preset “Lucky Man Emerson”?

f you mean Mini V4 and not Mini V3, and if you mean Pitch modulation added in the original way, then you can start reading the Mini V4 manual sections:
3.1. Oscillator Bank - (OSC 3 was used for modwheel modulation. The Pitch of the OSC set the speed then.)
3.5.2. Modulation
4.2. Keyboard

Mini V4 have added other modulators than the original, that perhaps can be used instead.
4.1.1. LFO

Feel free to ask further.

As this is posted in the ‘V3’ section, i think we need to clarify.
I, too, have the ‘Lucky man Emerson’ preset on the V4 version, but do not have V3 installed currently.

I have V3 installed, but I don’t see any Magic Man preset. Is it maybe from a purchased SoundBank?

Hmmm, I was sure it was part of an Arturia pack. here is the preset:

I’m hoping someone can fix it, I have no programming skillz…

That patch didn’t sound particularly close to the sound on the album. I tweaked it a little and added some LFO control, so the Mod Wheel should put in a wavy effect. It’s far from perfect, but should be more useable at least.
