funky synth sounds? ableton instruments and/or vsts?

Post by Pumpkin_Howie » Mon Jan 31, 2011 9:56 pm

hey i have been playing around with some of lives additional synthesizers and have created some nice sounds but i am trying to figure out how to get an old school funky stringy synth sound, one a lot like the one in calvin harris's "yeah yeah yeah la la la"...which is more famous for its use in the coca cola advert [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oywAS3j3 ... re=related]. Does anyone know what settings i should use on electric or analog? or should i get tension as well? or even a vst? i am sorry for the amateur question! thanks for any help!! =]

what sound are we talking about? the intro sounds or the lead/chord stabs at 18sec? you won't need more than analog for any of these, but need to know which sound
