Magellan 2 synth - Tina Turner 'The Best' and Walk the moon - 'Shut up and dance' sounds
Hi,
This is a very specific question but thought I would give it a try - I wondered if anyone has created presets or has tips that get close to the sound of either or both of these songs? I'm being asked to cover them but am mainly a piano player and not really dabbled in synths. There are so many options in Magellan 2 that it is melting my brain a bit and I'm still finding it hard to get anywhere close! Many thanks

I covered Shut Up but on desktop. I used imposcar 2 and it worked great. Not sure how that helps to be honest. If you had imposcar I could give you those presets.
Thanks both for taking the time to reply, much appreciated! I'll check out D1 as that looks very promising for 'The best'. I don't have imposcar unfortunately as I only have an iPad and it isn't available on that. But if the settings / dials are similar enough to Magellan 2 then perhaps some screenshots might be enough to get me close? Please don't go to any trouble though. Cheers 🙂
Hi again, I've downloaded D1 and looking through the presets. It sounds great! Thanks for the suggestion. Hopefully I'll find one close to 'Simply the best' or at least in that ballpark.
Cheers, Adam
Not the best recording but this is what I achieved with imposcar. The synth solo turned out out better than I hoped.
Nice! That solo is very cool and you nailed it. Do you actually play anything on the keyboard after the intro bit or is it just guitar? I've wondered about that from the original recording. I'm hoping there is a preset on D1 that is near the right sound. Cheers!
Hi, on Audiokit D1 I found the '80s Fairlite Hybrid Synth' is great for the sound of 'The Best', and 'Bright Synth Pop' is the closest I could find for 'Shut up and dance'. Cheers for the help and hope other people covering these find this thread handy!
Great to hear!
Did you know that a lot of the D1 factory sounds were created by members of this forum? 😊
Haha wow, there are certainly some great sounds on it! It's nice there are some good factory 'stock' sounds to get your bearings with. Some of the synth stuff and the sheer number of options and sounds seems very complex to the casual keyboard player, so it's great this friendly forum exists to help!
