FKJ & Tom Misch - Losing My Way | Keys Synth Patch Remake

Remaking the keys synth from the 2019 song "Losing My Way" by FKJ & Tom Misch can be an exciting challenge for any synthesizer enthusiast. Here’s how you can create the "Losing My Way" keys patch and play this iconic sound on most hardware or software subtractive synthesizers (Serum, Vital, Pigments, Prophet, Korg, Moog, etc). We've included the preset download directly for your convenience, but we strongly recommend you use our programming tutorial to recreate it yourself.

Original Audio

FKJ & Tom Misch’s 2016 collaboration “Losing My Way” features a minimalist square wave organ synthesizer that initiates the track’s groove. This sound is characterized by a simple square wave oscillator passed through a low-pass filter, creating a warm yet synthetic organ-like timbre. The synth is prominently heard at the track’s opening, layered with live-looped guitar and bass to establish the song’s soulful foundation.

REMAKE IT BY EAR

Getting Started

• Start by initializing your synthesizer to a plain saw with no filter, modulation or effects. For soft synths use the "init"/"default" preset or the the button to reset all parameters to their default factory values.
• No two synths are exactly alike, so treat the values below as approximate, and use your ear.
• Percentage values (e.g. 50%) represent the relative position of a knob or slider within its full range. The full range of each parameter may differ from synth to synth, so use your ear.

Note: the patch settings may slightly differ in the Syntorial challenge.
