Admiral? Admiral? Admiral... Never told you how 'Admiral' Kirk sent seventy of us into exile in this barren sandheap with only the contents of this cargo bay to sustain us?

...the original sound was _not_ made by playing the keyboard, but was done with the sample/hold module, and i presume (as i said before) was "looped" in the studio.
fyi, from http://www.synthtech.com/users.html
Quote:
Rock icon Joe Walsh has recently taken delivery of his 28 module system. Most people would not suspect that Joe studied electronics in college, and his hobby is restoring pre-1960 ham radios. His studio has many vintage synths, including a Moog 15, MemoryMoog, Juno-106 and the ARP Odyssey that played the famous sequence on "Life's Been Good To Me So Far". Maybe a new MOTM riff on the next Eagles CD?
bill, of course you are correct in general, but in this case, the "sound" is really also a sequence. certainly the original patch was "self playing", so an original patch that replicates this is probably technically a "cover". (to be more precise, the original patch played an unrepeating pattern...in the recording, it was trimmed to 2 bars) i don't think this is a big deal, but i'm not sure you are correct in this case (you may be, i only play a lawer on the internet). a paralell might be the synth part from "babba oriely" by the who.....the patch itself _is_ a sequence.
actually, this is kind of an interesting discussion (at least to me). the evolver has a "sweet dreams" preset (eurhythmics) which is pretty authentic (including the drums). if a "patch" is partly defined by a sequence (as in these examples...certainly the "sweet dreams" patch is very differant if you take out the sequencers and play it with a keyboard), then any patch that seeks to "replicate" the original (even if using differant techniques) must have a similar sequence, making it (in my mind) a cover. although the "patch programing" is unique, the "pattern" (which is part of the sound) is copywriten.
