Hi, i need help about the setting of the vg-8 sound on a sting´s song: "1000 years". I Know its the patches: "spin vox" but i cant have the same sound of the album (brand new day). By the bye sting is fan of the vg-8, he played it on stage during two world tour. Thanks ;)

Try the VIO patches, it is the HRM sound that was used on that song, as I understand it.

Nobody have idea about the settings of his vg-8. I've found a pics where you can see his vg-8 during his 2004 tour.

In the preset menu : the sting ´s patch is D61 and it call Spinvox. Sting use the vg-8 in the track: a thousand years, perfect love gone wrong,after the rain has fallen and at the end of brand new day. Will there be someone who have the genuine setting of Sting´s VG-8 ? Gary Cook is it on the forum?
Sorry for my poor english, im french  ;D

We invited Gary to join here, but after 10 years he has declined, and moved on to other pursuits , like scoring movies

Description:

This November I met a cool guitarist by the name of Gary Cook. He works for Roland and does VG-8 demos, definitely catch one if you can. I absconded with some of his patches. This set has lots of silent patches that act as his notes during the demo, but the rest of the patches are cool (notice that some patches have the same names as VG-8 presets, but they're better!). Plus, I found this set very useful when explaining the VG-8 to someone. Gary's promised me some more patches, I'll definitely post them if I get them!

I've bought a VG-8 EX and the exact Sting preset is factory d74 called D50Breth

That sounds right because that patch is shifted down an octave according to the patch list in the manual and if you look where Sting plays the line on the neck it has to be an octave down.

Wouldn't have thought it was Spinvox for that reason.

If anyone will upload some single notes played on that patch (dry and effected) I'll have a go at a VG99 version - I'm close to it now

I understand now, but i havent the D74 d50breth on my vg-8 (1994 version). Its available in the EX version ?

I do not have the preset D50 breth on my vg-8 preset in the patch D74.  I have the 1995 or 1994 version, it is not expanded.

Hi GK in,
In order to have the VIO patches you need to have a VG-8EX or the S-1 expansion. They are 2 S-1 expansion cards currently avaliable on eBay. You insert the card and update it. If you have questions on how to update it, check out the "VG-8EX or VG-8 S1" post.

Gk-in

Great ! I hope you are sure sting used d50breath patch and not the the Spinvox patch.

Rogervg8ex could you record an extract of the D50breth on the sting ´s riff so that i can get an idea before buying the s1 card or another vg-8 expanded ? It will be very Nice and kind. Thanks from France

No problem, I'll upload it today but I'll need to record it  several times so you can get an idea. My computer doesn't work so I'm going to record it with the phone, the quality won't be exelent but you'll be able to hear it properly.

The patch is altered to my liking and it's one octave higher than original.
But it's based on the d50 breath patch, I used to have a d-50 and loved the breathy patches.
and when the VG 8 could reproduce it , just great !

Very interesting, So sting no detuned the patch, in your demo it is an octave up ? I prefer the original but other patch sound great like vio-funk,Spinvox...

If I remember it correctly yes, it's an old recording and my vg8s are in storage at the moment.
IMO the Vg8 have some of the best sounds of all the VGs and GP
the vio guitar is at the top
