Replicating the synth in 'Heads Will Roll' using Ableton

Post by kanaanabukhadra » Mon May 13, 2019 7:53 am

The intro of 'Heads Will Roll' by the band Yeah Yeah Yeahs features a synth that sounds like a mix of a stringed and wind instrument.

In this article (https://ask.audio/articles/logic-pro-so ... roll-synth) he attempts to reproduce the sound using Logic Pro. He gets quite close to the original but it's not exact.

I'm using Ableton. I haven't purchased Standard or Suite yet as I'm not sure which packs I'll require.

And I'm using a Code 49 from M-Audio. Right now all I can do is make it sound like a stringed instrument.
