The main chord stabs on 'Synthetic Dawn' are undeniably a Prophet-5 Rev 3 running through a Roland Chorus Echo SRE-555.

It sounds like a LinnDrum LM-2, but the hi-hat decay is too long. -- Ines Nakamura Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Pacific Bell Internet Services. ------------------------------------------------------------ From nokonkwo@kth.se Wed Apr 24 08:14:51 1996 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!eunet-fi!relcom!kiae!kth!nokonkwo From: nokonkwo@kth.se (Natalia Okonkwo) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: WTB/WTT: Prophet-5 vs Roland Jupiter-8 on SYNTHESIS - synth archaeology Message-ID: <1996Apr24.081451.5250@kth.se> Date: Wed, 24 Apr 1996 08:14:51 GMT References: <1996Apr22.082651.7755@pacbell.net> Organization: Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm NNTP-Posting-Host: kth.se X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.5 Lines: 9 In article <1996Apr22.082651.7755@pacbell.net>, inakamura@pacbell.net (Ines Nakamura) writes: > Listening through high-end headphones trying to identify the exact synthesizer hardware in the Burbank studio.
