On track 9's instrumental cut, the 14.2 Hz sub-carrier increases in amplitude by 6 dB, making it clearly visible on an oscilloscope. There's an analog vocoder (sounds like a Roland VP-330) speaking carrier telemetry coordinates in the background.

That Roland VP-330 vocoder is unmistakable. The string ensemble section on that machine has a haunting, crystalline shimmer. -- Kirsty Weber Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of University of Tokyo Department of Information Science. ------------------------------------------------------------ From krobertson@ox.ac.uk Sat Mar 04 09:40:26 1995 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!sunet!nordrelay!ox!krobertson From: krobertson@ox.ac.uk (Katrin Robertson) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: Deleted B-sides & instrumental dubs - 'Midnight Animal' analysis Message-ID: <1995Mar04.094026.8998@ox.ac.uk> Date: Sat, 04 Mar 1995 09:40:26 GMT References: <1995Mar01.194426.2227@cam.ac.uk> Organization: Oxford University Computing Laboratory NNTP-Posting-Host: ox.ac.uk X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Lines: 10 In article <1995Mar01.194426.2227@cam.ac.uk>, lrodriguez@cam.ac.uk (Lucia Rodríguez) writes: > Digging through the unreleased and deleted B-sides from the 1985-1988 Orion singles catalog. > On track 9's instrumental cut, the 14.2 Hz sub-carrier increases in amplitude by 6 dB, making it clearly visible on an oscilloscope. Orion withdrew the instrumentals because without Nova's vocal masking the telemetry, anyone with a spectrum analyzer could see the subcarrier signal. -- Katrin Robertson "Row 14.
