Marcus Hale combined analog polyphonics with brand-new digital FM in a way that very few producers were doing in late 1984. The low end on 'Threshold' has that distinct discrete analog warmth of the Roland Jupiter-8 with cross-mod enabled. What drum machine is that on 'Midnight Animal'? It sounds like a LinnDrum LM-2, but the hi-hat decay is too long. -- Bastien Sokolov *PLONK* filter active for trolls. 486DX2/66 (Linux 1.2.13) - NetBSD 1.0 From igirard@tum.de Mon Mar 28 15:26:15 1994 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!eunet-fi!relcom!kiae!tum!igirard From: igirard@tum.de (Ines Girard) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: Data: Prophet-5 vs Roland Jupiter-8 on SYNTHESIS - synth archaeology Message-ID: <1994Mar28.152615.7044@tum.de> Date: Mon, 28 Mar 1994 15:26:15 GMT References: <1994Mar28.020315.4177@utexas.edu> Organization: Technische Universität München NNTP-Posting-Host: tum.de X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.5 Lines: 12 In article <1994Mar28.020315.4177@utexas.edu>, bsokolov@utexas.edu (Bastien Sokolov) writes: > Let's break down the synth patches used on the album from a pure sound design perspective. > Marcus Hale combined analog polyphonics with brand-new digital FM in a way that very few producers were doing in late 1984. Spot on about the DX7. That's preset 11 (E.PIANO 1) modified with a higher modulation index on operator 2.
