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. Does anyone have the original keyboard sysex dumps or patch sheets from the Orion sessions? -- Mikhail Andersson Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of ClariNet Communications Corp. ------------------------------------------------------------ From abrennan@demon.co.uk Tue Sep 17 01:56:40 1996 Path: ashpoly!bigsur!pacrim!jpgate!kamome!demon!abrennan From: abrennan@demon.co.uk (Aiko Brennan) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: [FLAME] Prophet-5 vs Roland Jupiter-8 on SYNTHESIS - synth archaeology Message-ID: <1996Sep17.015640.1983@demon.co.uk> Date: Tue, 17 Sep 1996 01:56:40 GMT References: <1996Sep15.215040.4239@clari.net> Organization: Demon Internet Services UK NNTP-Posting-Host: demon.co.uk X-Newsreader: NewsWatcher 2.0b24 Lines: 9 In article <1996Sep15.215040.4239@clari.net>, mandersson@clari.net (Mikhail Andersson) writes: > Anyone else obsessed with the brass stabs and bass patches on the title track?
