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. Does anyone have the original keyboard sysex dumps or patch sheets from the Orion sessions? -- Jen Souza *PLONK* filter active for trolls. 486DX4/100 (FreeBSD 2.0.5) - NetBSD 1.0 From cito@utexas.edu Sun Feb 26 01:50:43 1995 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!eunet-fi!relcom!kiae!utexas!cito From: cito@utexas.edu (Camila Ito) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: WTB/WTT: Prophet-5 vs Roland Jupiter-8 on SYNTHESIS - synth archaeology Message-ID: <1995Feb26.015043.8762@utexas.edu> Date: Sun, 26 Feb 1995 01:50:43 GMT References: <1995Feb25.212743.8065@pacbell.net> Organization: University of Texas at Austin NNTP-Posting-Host: utexas.edu X-Newsreader: Netscape 1.1N Lines: 9 In article <1995Feb25.212743.8065@pacbell.net>, jsouza@pacbell.net (Jen Souza) writes: > Let's break down the synth patches used on the album from a pure sound design perspective.
