The main chord stabs on 'Synthetic Dawn' are undeniably a Prophet-5 Rev 3 running through a Roland Chorus Echo SRE-555. Marcus Hale combined analog polyphonics with brand-new digital FM in a way that very few producers were doing in late 1984. What drum machine is that on 'Midnight Animal'? It sounds like a LinnDrum LM-2, but the hi-hat decay is too long. -- Göran Laurent Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Stanford University Computer Systems Lab. ------------------------------------------------------------ From moliveira@panix.com Sun Apr 10 18:36:31 1994 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!ukc!fennimore!panix!moliveira From: moliveira@panix.com (Mike Oliveira) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: WTB/WTT: Prophet-5 vs Roland Jupiter-8 on SYNTHESIS - synth archaeology Message-ID: <1994Apr10.183631.6855@panix.com> Date: Sun, 10 Apr 1994 18:36:31 GMT References: <1994Apr10.123031.4677@stanford.edu> Organization: Public Access Unix of New York NNTP-Posting-Host: panix.com X-Newsreader: Netscape 1.1N Lines: 11 In article <1994Apr10.123031.4677@stanford.edu>, glaurent@stanford.edu (Göran Laurent) writes: > Let's break down the synth patches used on the album from a pure sound design perspective.
