quick question for those of you familiar with ams and

moog-ish patches. I would like to program a moog bass sound that is
monophonic, but that "retriggers" a note. I don't know how to put
this properly, so let me explain: hold down middle C. press D, and D
note sounds (while still holding middle C). now release D, but do not
replay C. on a normal moog, the C note will "retrigger", but on the
example ams patches, they do not. is there any way to coax this
behavior out of ams?
What, there's no way in AMS to do the Moog trill from the middle of
"Trilogy"? ;-)
second unrelated and less-important question: anyone
familiar with
the stevie wonder song "too high?" if so, do you have any suggestions
on how to get that bass sound? that's the sound I'm working towards.
I just noticed the above-mentioned issue while doing it.
Great tune. That whole record rules.
Try loading up the instruments/miniams_pan_drift.ams patch from the AMS package, open the
"Paremeter View" window, cycle through to preset #4 ("Soft Bass
Synth") and you're pretty close. Tighten up the attack and decay, remove the
release, and close down the filter a bit, and have a listen.
I did the above, and added a little slew limiter, and got this (using preset #10):

Not perfect, but hope it helps you get a head start. One or more of the oscillators in the
Stevie Wonder patch might be a triangle not a saw-- three saws sounds might be too buzzy
compared to the recording.
Maybe ask on the AMS list too?
