I been debating for a couple days about saying something here. Ok like 4 years ago I spent about a year looking for the same answer. I got in touch with a guy who 'supposedly' was a stage tech for roger and he gave me a sheet with the parameters to program a yamaha dx100.

Only somebody who doesn't own a microkorg would say that. The biggest thing it loses out on is that if you create your own sound on the sound editor, you cant save it, but I suppose you pay for what you get. I tried to build a talk box once because I wanted to sound like Roger Troutman. It failed miserably. It makes good talkbox sounds, but before there was FM, people used analog synths for their talkbox sounds. Roger Troutman allegedly used a Moog for a while before he started using the DX100. I think it's just preference. You can use anything, but the FM synths were preferred for that sound. The sawtooth.

Thats the board roger used. Anyway It took forever to find the board. Finally i found one on ebay in ok shape some guy in ohio was selling. We bought the board, programed it then sampled it and put the sounds into a motif and got rid of the DX.

Supposedley roger used a talkbox called a golden throat but I never found that and tried different ones. The banshee worked the best. Based on what I experienced the sounds have a lot more to do with it than the talkbox.

No matter what sounds we tried It never was even in the ball park. The dx100 program was night and day compared to everything else.

But I was/am still way off. I think it sounds ok and I used it on a couple of records but if you listen to mine then to bosco's or ali wally's for example you can totally tell they are on a whole other level.

I havent used it in over 3 years for that reason. Long and short of it get a hold of bosco or ali wally. Hahaha Everything else is just experimentation and attempting to get in the ball park. Sorry I promised the guy I got the patches from that I wouldnt give them to anyone else (For all I know they are real and I just never found the other pieces to the puzzle. Anyway I am a man of my word.

Im not gonna disrespect anybody and post the stuff on the internet). Brookstone Drivers Download. In all honesty as you can tell from the sample Im not close enogh anyway. I just wanted to show that if the effort and practice I put in didnt get there no plug-in is going to get anywhere close.

How you play the keys and 'talk' effects the sound like crazy. Also another problem we had was recording. You could hear me play the keys physically pound them. So no using high end mics. Its also hard to judge how good it really sounds without recording it.

I got the best results from cranking the banshee. That means its really loud. It pushes a lot of air!!!!! Way too loud and too much 'air flow' noise to compare to more bounce. In the end it was safer and less wannabe sounding to keep things simple rather than freak the parts like roger did. In the example I attached it sounds like its only 4 note triggers.
