This seems to have some funky keyboard going on....almost a toy symphony type sound. Any guesses on where to start? I seem to have some sounds for the versus but the chorus I'm struggling

Greekjgg, I must admit: it's a very extraordinary sound.
I can't give you a solution by now.
'Wiki' says it depends on a harmonica sound.
But I' m sure there is 'something more.'
Should be realized with one of the GR55 synths....
Any ideas? ;)

To me it resembles a mellotron calliope or soft synthy reeds with just a bit of phase shift and echo, if you're referring to the synthy part. It's cool! My all-time favorite Prince tune is Partyman, from the Batman soundtrack, with its pairing of that funky beat with the biting horns and those sparse piano twinkles, topped with the barking vox. He da man!

I'm getting close with a violin and cello....that's what I got out of wiki....the other side of the coin is that there seems to be a soft sorta keyboard during the versus.... So that is technically 3 sounds for 1 song and only 2 PCM...

I think there is a way to still do this in one patch. I'm gonna need to figure that out too since we also added "roll with the changes" and I get to be the piano, Hammond and guitar!!!!
