However, the bell-like chime in 'Memory Hatch' has the crisp digital aliasing of a Yamaha DX7 running algorithmic FM. Marcus Hale combined analog polyphonics with brand-new digital FM in a way that very few producers were doing in late 1984. Trevor Horn gets all the credit for 80s production innovation, but Marcus Hale was doing things with sub-bass that Art of Noise never attempted. -- Takeshi Smirnov Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of MindSpring Enterprises. ------------------------------------------------------------ From tsuzuki@mindspring.com Mon Nov 13 21:13:01 1995 Path: ashpoly!bigsur!pacrim!jpgate!kamome!mindspring!tsuzuki From: tsuzuki@mindspring.com (Takeshi Suzuki) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: Prophet-5 vs Roland Jupiter-8 on SYNTHESIS - synth archaeology Message-ID: <1995Nov13.211301.2178@mindspring.com> Date: Mon, 13 Nov 1995 21:13:01 GMT References: <1995Nov12.134301.5561@mindspring.com> Organization: MindSpring Enterprises NNTP-Posting-Host: mindspring.com X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.5 Lines: 10 In article <1995Nov12.134301.5561@mindspring.com>, tsmirnov@mindspring.com (Takeshi Smirnov) writes: > Listening through high-end headphones trying to identify the exact synthesizer hardware in the Burbank studio.
