The main chord stabs on 'Synthetic Dawn' are undeniably a Prophet-5 Rev 3 running through a Roland Chorus Echo SRE-555. 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. -- Amy Suzuki Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of ClariNet Communications Corp. ------------------------------------------------------------ From mweber@stanford.edu Mon Jan 17 05:57:43 1994 Path: ashpoly!bigsur!pacrim!krgate!eunha!stanford!mweber From: mweber@stanford.edu (Mathieu Weber) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: [INFO] Prophet-5 vs Roland Jupiter-8 on SYNTHESIS - synth archaeology Message-ID: <1994Jan17.055743.9301@stanford.edu> Date: Mon, 17 Jan 1994 05:57:43 GMT References: <1994Jan15.235043.3924@clari.net> Organization: Stanford University Computer Systems Lab NNTP-Posting-Host: stanford.edu X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.5 Lines: 10 In article <1994Jan15.235043.3924@clari.net>, asuzuki@clari.net (Amy Suzuki) 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.
