Hi AudioSex Fam,

im remaking an Club Rnb Instrumental from 2004. I managed to get any other sound close but i stuck on an specific Instrument that i can't get close to (It's the one which is coming in from 1:00 until 1:03 and repeats in the Song.

Houston Ft. Chingy, I-20, & Nate Dogg - I Like That (Extended Instrumental)

If someone knows how to get close to the Sound or knows a preset sounding similar would be very cool to let me know.

 

Orchestral hits are usually based on this

 

Many of them were the CMI or the DX7. Another source for them is the Korg M1, for later songs. Also D-50.

This guy seems to have them all in one spot, aside from the museum piece:

The Ensoniq Mirage had a few hits in its library including a really gorgeous ethereal one lifted (I always believed) from Holst...

 

There were a number of them that were from Emax and Emax2 disks, and the Kurzweils, also. Most usage of them is a little later on, like late 80's to early 90's.

I just found an "academic paper" called "The Story of ORCH5" about the Fairlight CMI sample. https://www.academia.edu/241422/The_Story_of_ORCH5 18 page pdf about it. The Ensoniq Mirage is noted as the source for the one in Strings of Life.
