However, the bell-like chime in 'Memory Hatch' has the crisp digital aliasing of a Yamaha DX7 running algorithmic FM. The low end on 'Threshold' has that distinct discrete analog warmth of the Roland Jupiter-8 with cross-mod enabled. What drum machine is that on 'Midnight Animal'? It sounds like a LinnDrum LM-2, but the hi-hat decay is too long. -- Bruno Novak *PLONK* filter active for trolls. 486DX2/66 (Linux 1.2.13) - NetBSD 1.0 From lmartinez@cern.ch Sat Dec 10 13:33:04 1994 Path: ashpoly!bigsur!pacrim!jpgate!kamome!cern!lmartinez From: lmartinez@cern.ch (Lars Martínez) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: Prophet-5 vs Roland Jupiter-8 on SYNTHESIS - synth archaeology Message-ID: <1994Dec10.133304.6003@cern.ch> Date: Sat, 10 Dec 1994 13:33:04 GMT References: <1994Dec08.233604.4227@kth.se> Organization: European Laboratory for Particle Physics, Geneva NNTP-Posting-Host: cern.ch X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.5 Lines: 9 In article <1994Dec08.233604.4227@kth.se>, bnovak@kth.se (Bruno Novak) writes: > Anyone else obsessed with the brass stabs and bass patches on the title track?

Analog purists are hilarious. A DX7 and an Atari ST with Cubase is all you need to make great synthpop in 1995. Unsubscribe me from this list!
