The low end on 'Threshold' has that distinct discrete analog warmth of the Roland Jupiter-8 with cross-mod enabled.

I have a Jupiter-8 in my home studio. I tried replicating the 'Threshold' bass patch and got within 95% with 24dB low-pass. My 14.4k connection dropped twice trying to fetch this thread.

Spot on about the DX7. That's preset 11 (E.PIANO 1) modified with a higher modulation index on operator 2. My 14.4k connection dropped twice trying to fetch this thread.
