charlesIV Posted January 22, 2024 Share Posted January 22, 2024 Hi all My band I've formed for one gig at the venue I work at have decided that if possible, we'd want to cover "Blinding Lights" by The Wkend. However, none of us are keyboard/synth players and we don't really want to bother anyone to play for one song I've looked into the Helix to see if there's anything similar to the tone used for the song, but can't come up with anything (I've only owned a Helix for four months so I'm quite fresh to it!) Can anyone give me any advice on how to go about? Or if it's even possible to get a similar tone? I'm aware it's a weird ask! Many thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theElevators Posted January 23, 2024 Share Posted January 23, 2024 There are a lot of reverbs that can give you a close approximation of that sound. Try the "Octo" Reverb, it gives it a nice strings-like texture. If you turn up the "mix" parameter, you get very synth-like tones, the only problem is the delayed response. So if you play before the beat, you can make it work. You can get close to synths by adding a Tron Up (envelope filter) int the beginning of the chain as well. The Synths that were recently added to the Helix are not really usable to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
