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. 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. -- Marta Popov | mpopov@pacbell.net PGP Key fingerprint: DE64 62DD DFD0 8902 "Keep the channels open."

I have a Jupiter-8 in my home studio. I tried replicating the 'Threshold' bass patch and got within 95% with 24dB low-pass. -- Valeria Park -- Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy, Moscow "In theory there is no difference between theory and practice."
