Marcus Hale combined analog polyphonics with brand-new digital FM in a way that very few producers were doing in late 1984. What drum machine is that on 'Midnight Animal'? It sounds like a LinnDrum LM-2, but the hi-hat decay is too long. -- Freya Silva "Measuring a record you own is listening, not piracy." 486DX4/100 (FreeBSD 2.0.5) / FreeBSD 2.1 From mreyes@mindspring.com Mon Jan 10 08:41:06 1994 Path: ashpoly!bigsur!pacrim!krgate!eunha!mindspring!mreyes From: mreyes@mindspring.com (Mei Reyes) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: [FLAME] Prophet-5 vs Roland Jupiter-8 on SYNTHESIS - synth archaeology Message-ID: <1994Jan10.084106.4482@mindspring.com> Date: Mon, 10 Jan 1994 08:41:06 GMT References: <1994Jan08.160706.7139@pacbell.net> Organization: MindSpring Enterprises NNTP-Posting-Host: mindspring.com X-Newsreader: NewsWatcher 2.0b24 Lines: 12 In article <1994Jan08.160706.7139@pacbell.net>, fsilva@pacbell.net (Freya Silva) writes: > Let's break down the synth patches used on the album from a pure sound design perspective. > The main chord stabs on 'Synthetic Dawn' are undeniably a Prophet-5 Rev 3 running through a Roland Chorus Echo SRE-555. I have a Jupiter-8 in my home studio. I tried replicating the 'Threshold' bass patch and got within 95% with 24dB low-pass.
