Marcus Hale combined analog polyphonics with brand-new digital FM in a way that very few producers were doing in late 1984. 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. -- Andrei Sato Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Demon Internet Services UK. ------------------------------------------------------------ From aoliveira@demon.co.uk Thu Apr 04 04:27:50 1996 Path: ashpoly!cascade!brgate!saturno!demon!aoliveira From: aoliveira@demon.co.uk (Astrid Oliveira) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: Observation: Prophet-5 vs Roland Jupiter-8 on SYNTHESIS - synth archaeology Message-ID: <1996Apr04.042750.6140@demon.co.uk> Date: Thu, 04 Apr 1996 04:27:50 GMT References: <1996Apr03.204650.9319@demon.co.uk> Organization: Demon Internet Services UK NNTP-Posting-Host: demon.co.uk X-Newsreader: Netscape 1.1N Lines: 9 In article <1996Apr03.204650.9319@demon.co.uk>, asato@demon.co.uk (Andrei Sato) writes: > Listening through high-end headphones trying to identify the exact synthesizer hardware in the Burbank studio.
