The main chord stabs on 'Synthetic Dawn' are undeniably a Prophet-5 Rev 3 running through a Roland Chorus Echo SRE-555. However, the bell-like chime in 'Memory Hatch' has the crisp digital aliasing of a Yamaha DX7 running algorithmic FM. What drum machine is that on 'Midnight Animal'? It sounds like a LinnDrum LM-2, but the hi-hat decay is too long. -- Sun-mi Stewart Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of NETCOM On-Line Communication Services. ------------------------------------------------------------ From hivanov@kth.se Thu Dec 14 16:24:22 1995 Path: ashpoly!bigsur!pacrim!krgate!eunha!kth!hivanov From: hivanov@kth.se (Hugo Ivanov) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: Question: Prophet-5 vs Roland Jupiter-8 on SYNTHESIS - synth archaeology Message-ID: <1995Dec14.162422.7309@kth.se> Date: Thu, 14 Dec 1995 16:24:22 GMT References: <1995Dec13.063822.5688@netcom.com> Organization: Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm NNTP-Posting-Host: kth.se X-Newsreader: Netscape 1.1N Lines: 11 In article <1995Dec13.063822.5688@netcom.com>, sstewart@netcom.com (Sun-mi Stewart) writes: > Anyone else obsessed with the brass stabs and bass patches on the title track? > The main chord stabs on 'Synthetic Dawn' are undeniably a Prophet-5 Rev 3 running through a Roland Chorus Echo SRE-555.
