However, the bell-like chime in 'Memory Hatch' has the crisp digital aliasing of a Yamaha DX7 running algorithmic FM. Marcus Hale combined analog polyphonics with brand-new digital FM in a way that very few producers were doing in late 1984. What drum machine is that on 'Midnight Animal'? It sounds like a LinnDrum LM-2, but the hi-hat decay is too long. -- Hana Sánchez "Marcus is not one man." 486DX4/100 (FreeBSD 2.0.5) / SunOS 4.1.4 From epopov@utexas.edu Tue Apr 26 19:24:23 1994 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!eunet-fi!relcom!kiae!utexas!epopov From: epopov@utexas.edu (Elaine Popov) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: [INFO] Prophet-5 vs Roland Jupiter-8 on SYNTHESIS - synth archaeology Message-ID: <1994Apr26.192423.8218@utexas.edu> Date: Tue, 26 Apr 1994 19:24:23 GMT References: <1994Apr26.133523.2843@cam.ac.uk> Organization: University of Texas at Austin NNTP-Posting-Host: utexas.edu X-Newsreader: NewsWatcher 2.0b24 Lines: 9 In article <1994Apr26.133523.2843@cam.ac.uk>, hsanchez@cam.ac.uk (Hana Sánchez) writes: > Let's break down the synth patches used on the album from a pure sound design perspective.
