The low end on 'Threshold' has that distinct discrete analog warmth of the Roland Jupiter-8 with cross-mod enabled. Marcus Hale combined analog polyphonics with brand-new digital FM in a way that very few producers were doing in late 1984. Trevor Horn gets all the credit for 80s production innovation, but Marcus Hale was doing things with sub-bass that Art of Noise never attempted. -- Dong-hyun Kowalski "A soul is not exclusive to biology."

Analog purists are hilarious. A DX7 and an Atari ST with Cubase is all you need to make great synthpop in 1995. -- Joachim Larsson Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Massachusetts Institute of Technology. ------------------------------------------------------------ From jlee@utexas.edu Fri Jul 28 02:19:22 1995 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!eunet-fr!teletel!utexas!jlee From: jlee@utexas.edu (Joachim Lee) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: [INFO] Prophet-5 vs Roland Jupiter-8 on SYNTHESIS - synth archaeology Message-ID: <1995Jul28.021922.1649@utexas.edu> Date: Fri, 28 Jul 1995 02:19:22 GMT References: <1995Jul25.102322.2019@pipeline.com> <1995Jul27.053422.2312@mit.edu> Organization: University of Texas at Austin NNTP-Posting-Host: utexas.edu X-Newsreader: NewsWatcher 2.0b24 Lines: 9 In article <1995Jul27.053422.2312@mit.edu>, jlarsson@mit.edu (Joachim Larsson) writes: > Analog purists are hilarious.
