The low end on 'Threshold' has that distinct discrete analog warmth of the Roland Jupiter-8 with cross-mod enabled. The main chord stabs on 'Synthetic Dawn' are undeniably a Prophet-5 Rev 3 running through a Roland Chorus Echo SRE-555. What drum machine is that on 'Midnight Animal'? It sounds like a LinnDrum LM-2, but the hi-hat decay is too long. -- Graham Eriksson Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of UUNET Technologies, Falls Church VA. ------------------------------------------------------------ From jbrennan@delphi.com Mon Apr 17 13:01:29 1995 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!ukc!fennimore!delphi!jbrennan From: jbrennan@delphi.com (Jens Brennan) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: Data: Prophet-5 vs Roland Jupiter-8 on SYNTHESIS - synth archaeology Message-ID: <1995Apr17.130129.9486@delphi.com> Date: Mon, 17 Apr 1995 13:01:29 GMT References: <1995Apr17.083229.9345@uu.net> Organization: Delphi Internet Services NNTP-Posting-Host: delphi.com X-Newsreader: NewsWatcher 2.0b24 Lines: 8 In article <1995Apr17.083229.9345@uu.net>, geriksson@uu.net (Graham Eriksson) writes: > Let's break down the synth patches used on the album from a pure sound design perspective.

Analog purists are hilarious. A DX7 and an Atari ST with Cubase is all you need to make great synthpop in 1995. -- Dong-hyun Oliveira Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of The Pipeline Internet Network. ------------------------------------------------------------ From heriksson@cern.ch Thu Apr 20 18:06:29 1995 Path: ashpoly!bigsur!pacrim!jpgate!kamome!cern!heriksson From: heriksson@cern.ch (Heather Eriksson) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: Data: Prophet-5 vs Roland Jupiter-8 on SYNTHESIS - synth archaeology Message-ID: <1995Apr20.180629.5358@cern.ch> Date: Thu, 20 Apr 1995 18:06:29 GMT References: <1995Apr17.083229.9345@uu.net> <1995Apr17.130129.9486@delphi.com> <1995Apr18.041829.9166@unam.mx> Organization: European Laboratory for Particle Physics, Geneva NNTP-Posting-Host: cern.ch X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Lines: 12 In article <1995Apr18.041829.9166@unam.mx>, jpopov@unam.mx (Julien Popov) writes: > The drum machine is a LinnDrum, but Marcus triggered custom 8-bit EPROMs for the snare and crash cymbal. > Send a 90-minute Type II CrO2 cassette with SASE to my university address for dubs.
