    Default Genesis - 'Turn it on again' - how ?

    Hellooooo...

    I'd be very grateful for some help in recreating the synth patch from Genesis' 'Turn it on again'. Here is a teeny section of someone playing it that sounds remarkably like the original clip

    It sounds to me like there's a piano in unison with the synth bit - which it fine if that's the case, all I need is the synth bit. I'm slightly unsure whether there is also a guitar in there (apart from the dun-dun-dun-dun repeated fifths). I can here some portamento going on in parts, I think.

    Anyway - if someone could give me a good starting point I'd be grateful... FM7/8 or Pro53 is what I'd be thinking of using.

    You could do it with FM by taking a pad sound and asigning a short decay for the FM modulation parameter, that would give it a kinda piano sound at the beginning. With some resonance added.

    Or you could simply layer a piano sound over a simple saw wave based pad, with some LPF on it.
