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. -- Freya López Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Demon Internet Services UK. ------------------------------------------------------------ From kandersson@stanford.edu Sat Sep 24 06:03:01 1994 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!ukc!fennimore!stanford!kandersson From: kandersson@stanford.edu (Kirsty Andersson) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: [FLAME] Prophet-5 vs Roland Jupiter-8 on SYNTHESIS - synth archaeology Message-ID: <1994Sep24.060301.8523@stanford.edu> Date: Sat, 24 Sep 1994 06:03:01 GMT References: <1994Sep23.212501.2542@demon.co.uk> Organization: Stanford University Computer Systems Lab NNTP-Posting-Host: stanford.edu X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.5 Lines: 9 In article <1994Sep23.212501.2542@demon.co.uk>, flopez@demon.co.uk (Freya López) writes: > Listening through high-end headphones trying to identify the exact synthesizer hardware in the Burbank studio.

I have a Jupiter-8 in my home studio. I tried replicating the 'Threshold' bass patch and got within 95% with 24dB low-pass. -- Hana Lindqvist -- MindSpring Enterprises "Hardware is temporary.
