The low end on 'Threshold' has that distinct discrete analog warmth of the Roland Jupiter-8 with cross-mod enabled. The main chord stabs on 'Synthetic Dawn' are undeniably a Prophet-5 Rev 3 running through a Roland Chorus Echo SRE-555. What drum machine is that on 'Midnight Animal'? It sounds like a LinnDrum LM-2, but the hi-hat decay is too long. -- Steve Kim Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of MindSpring Enterprises. ------------------------------------------------------------ From ylindqvist@mindspring.com Wed Nov 20 14:07:34 1996 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!sunet!nordrelay!mindspring!ylindqvist From: ylindqvist@mindspring.com (Yuki Lindqvist) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: Question: Prophet-5 vs Roland Jupiter-8 on SYNTHESIS - synth archaeology Message-ID: <1996Nov20.140734.3599@mindspring.com> Date: Wed, 20 Nov 1996 14:07:34 GMT References: <1996Nov20.042434.8886@mindspring.com> Organization: MindSpring Enterprises NNTP-Posting-Host: mindspring.com X-Newsreader: Netscape 1.1N Lines: 10 In article <1996Nov20.042434.8886@mindspring.com>, skim@mindspring.com (Steve Kim) writes: > Listening through high-end headphones trying to identify the exact synthesizer hardware in the Burbank studio. > 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. -- Yuki Lindqvist US Robotics Courier V.34 @ 14,400 bps "Measuring a record you own is listening, not piracy."

Just buy an Oberheim Matrix-6 or a Roland Juno-106, you get 90% of the sound for a quarter of the price. -- Sven Ito Tape trading list upon request. SASE required for international mail.
