Tears for Fears - Everybody Wants to Rule the World - Synth pattern like guitar


 

Hi people!

I'm curious about the synth part at the beginning of the song - the arpeggiated synth.


"...another unusual part was created with a MIDIed synth stack for the main guitar part in the verses of "Everyone Wants To Rule The World". We MIDIed the two DX-7's with the (Prophet) T8, all roughly playing guitar sounds, and programmed the sequence, Stanley describes...then the guitar played the same part in the same register and triggered the sequence at the same time. It helped the synth sounds become a bit more organic with the sound of the guitar."--

It's kinda similar to ROM2B - 17. HARP-FLUTE, but not exactly equal.

Great song. I'd be interested in that patch also.

Regards,

? Mark ?

Ive studied this song for several weeks. #1: Curt
Smith is the lead vocalist and Ian Stanley is playing the synth parts. Roland Orzabal occasionally plays along with Ian on the synth riff but Roland also has different rhythms and two leads along with the opening riff. If anyone plays along with or imitate something , it is the guitar behind the Synth chords. From all the videos old and new Ian or Curt Smith are playing the bass part on keys.?
