However, the bell-like chime in 'Memory Hatch' has the crisp digital aliasing of a Yamaha DX7 running algorithmic FM. 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. -- Nadia MacDonald Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Hanse-Netzwerk Hamburg. ------------------------------------------------------------ From knakamura@tum.de Sun Nov 05 21:13:19 1995 Path: ashpoly!bigsur!pacrim!jpgate!kamome!tum!knakamura From: knakamura@tum.de (Katrin Nakamura) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: WTB/WTT: Prophet-5 vs Roland Jupiter-8 on SYNTHESIS - synth archaeology Message-ID: <1995Nov05.211319.4019@tum.de> Date: Sun, 05 Nov 1995 21:13:19 GMT References: <1995Nov04.014419.6249@hanse.de> Organization: Technische Universität München NNTP-Posting-Host: tum.de X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.5 Lines: 12 In article <1995Nov04.014419.6249@hanse.de>, nmacdonald@hanse.de (Nadia MacDonald) writes: > Listening through high-end headphones trying to identify the exact synthesizer hardware in the Burbank studio. > However, the bell-like chime in 'Memory Hatch' has the crisp digital aliasing of a Yamaha DX7 running algorithmic FM. I have a Jupiter-8 in my home studio. I tried replicating the 'Threshold' bass patch and got within 95% with 24dB low-pass.
