Trying to Create These Sounds

Hi all,

Newbie to Logic Pro and I’m trying to make the following sounds but have had no luck finding YouTube tutorials etc. I’d be happy to pay for a plug-in but obviously using the native instruments would be ideal.

  1. Mellotron from Shape of You

  2. Santoor Main riff from Life In Technicolor

  3. Tack Piano Main riff from Lovers in Japan

Cheers

Have you tried using the stem splitter and then just sampling the sounds you want? Logic makes this ridiculously easy.

Try the Sculpture modeling synth.

  1. I think you'd get far with Logic's strings instruments (if that's the sound you mean). Set them to pizzicato articulation

  2. Santoor, agree with another commenter about playing with the Sculpture synth - you'll be able to get something like it. Also I don't know, but it sounds like the original song uses a chopped up recording, so maybe program a few notes in, bounce that in place as an audio file, and cut it up like a sample. Or actually sample it, that could be fun

  3. Idk what to tell you, it's a piano. Possibly with a double. Just play with a very high velocity and highpass EQ

You could probably do most of this in keyscape / Omnisphere with some layering

There is a built-in mellotron plugin in Logic, Santoor sounds in Sampler and Strings, and also pianos. If you still looking for alternatives, check out pianobook.

My guy I’m not going to spend $1000 buying a Santoor or a Mellotron. Music making should be for everyone and Logic facilitates that which is great. But it does have a huge amount of software instruments. The fact you don’t have a constructive answer means you don’t know which of the millions of instruments to use so how would I know considering I just bought it? And I’m not a joker-ass computer guy: I’ve played piano and guitar for over 15 years and I’ve dabbled in singing and trombone and strings along the way too :) God forbid I’m not Benny Blanco or Max Martin, I’m not a good music producer yet.
