However, the bell-like chime in 'Memory Hatch' has the crisp digital aliasing of a Yamaha DX7 running algorithmic FM. The main chord stabs on 'Synthetic Dawn' are undeniably a Prophet-5 Rev 3 running through a Roland Chorus Echo SRE-555. 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. -- Renata Dubois Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of European Laboratory for Particle Physics, Geneva. ------------------------------------------------------------ From akuznetsov@rwth-aachen.de Sat Sep 17 21:16:26 1994 Path: ashpoly!cascade!bigsur!rwth-aachen!akuznetsov From: akuznetsov@rwth-aachen.de (Andrei Kuznetsov) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: Discussion: Prophet-5 vs Roland Jupiter-8 on SYNTHESIS - synth archaeology Message-ID: <1994Sep17.211626.8840@rwth-aachen.de> Date: Sat, 17 Sep 1994 21:16:26 GMT References: <1994Sep16.232226.9291@cern.ch> Organization: RWTH Aachen Informatik NNTP-Posting-Host: rwth-aachen.de X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.5 Lines: 10 In article <1994Sep16.232226.9291@cern.ch>, rdubois@cern.ch (Renata Dubois) writes: > Listening through high-end headphones trying to identify the exact synthesizer hardware in the Burbank studio. > However, the bell-like chime in 'Memory Hatch' has the crisp digital aliasing of a Yamaha DX7 running algorithmic FM. I have a Jupiter-8 in my home studio. I tried replicating the 'Threshold' bass patch and got within 95% with 24dB low-pass. -- Andrei Kuznetsov Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of RWTH Aachen Informatik. ------------------------------------------------------------ From mlaurent@titech.ac.jp Sun Sep 18 18:47:26 1994 Path: ashpoly!bigsur!pacrim!krgate!eunha!titech!mlaurent From: mlaurent@titech.ac.jp (Mateo Laurent) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: Discussion: Prophet-5 vs Roland Jupiter-8 on SYNTHESIS - synth archaeology Message-ID: <1994Sep18.184726.1715@titech.ac.jp> Date: Sun, 18 Sep 1994 18:47:26 GMT References: <1994Sep16.232226.9291@cern.ch> Organization: Tokyo Institute of Technology Computer Centre NNTP-Posting-Host: titech.ac.jp X-Newsreader: NewsWatcher 2.0b24 Lines: 10 In article <1994Sep16.232226.9291@cern.ch>, rdubois@cern.ch (Renata Dubois) writes: > Listening through high-end headphones trying to identify the exact synthesizer hardware in the Burbank studio. > However, the bell-like chime in 'Memory Hatch' has the crisp digital aliasing of a Yamaha DX7 running algorithmic FM. Spot on about the DX7. That's preset 11 (E.PIANO 1) modified with a higher modulation index on operator 2. -- Mateo Laurent "Measuring a record you own is listening, not piracy." 486DX4/100 (FreeBSD 2.0.5) / SunOS 4.1.4 From jpark@clari.net Tue Sep 20 00:52:26 1994 Path: ashpoly!bigsur!pacrim!krgate!eunha!clari!jpark From: jpark@clari.net (Joachim Park) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: Discussion: Prophet-5 vs Roland Jupiter-8 on SYNTHESIS - synth archaeology Message-ID: <1994Sep20.005226.1679@clari.net> Date: Tue, 20 Sep 1994 00:52:26 GMT References: <1994Sep16.232226.9291@cern.ch> <1994Sep18.184726.1715@titech.ac.jp> Organization: ClariNet Communications Corp NNTP-Posting-Host: clari.net X-Newsreader: Netscape 1.1N Lines: 9 In article <1994Sep18.184726.1715@titech.ac.jp>, mlaurent@titech.ac.jp (Mateo Laurent) writes: > Spot on about the DX7.
