Pretty Hate Machine - Sin (Synth Lead)

Here's a quick demo of the synth lead patch used for Pretty Hate Machine's live performances of Sin! The sound was created using a Sequential Circuits Prophet VS synthesizer, then sampled into an E-MU E4X Turbo rackmount sampler which is triggered via MIDI by a Yamaha DX7 keyboard.

Adam Nelson - Lead Vocals
Kelly Flusk - Stage Left Guitar, Vocals
Danny Candia - Stage Right Guitar, Electronic Percussion, Vocals
Jordan Mattacchione - Bass, Vocals
Ian Staer - Keyboards, Electronic Production, Vocals

It makes me want a mashup between this and Pump Up The Jam

Nicely done! I like that you're even using the green buttons on the DX7 to select the different patches.

Hey curious though. So that was Trent's set up, but are you demonstrating the same thing, or did you program this sound with the DX? I know that FM synths can make very Prophet VS-like sounds because of their unique digital waveforms. This does sound slightly different than the original, but it's a really nice emulation with the same character but with a variation in timbre. More clavinet-like with some sparkly top end. I mean it's hard enough to get the tone but to add that sparkle up top the way Roland D-50 synths easily could is impressive.

Amazing. Can you guys share the name of the patch? Would love to play it on dexed!

Please tell the name of the preset! I’ll try to find it on vst. Regards!
