Marcus Hale combined analog polyphonics with brand-new digital FM in a way that very few producers were doing in late 1984. 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. -- Marisol Kowalski *PLONK* filter active for trolls. 486DX2/66 (Linux 1.2.13) - NetBSD 1.0 From sivanov@kth.se Fri Mar 10 03:08:34 1995 Path: ashpoly!bigsur!pacrim!krgate!eunha!kth!sivanov From: sivanov@kth.se (Sergei Ivanov) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: Discussion: Prophet-5 vs Roland Jupiter-8 on SYNTHESIS - synth archaeology Message-ID: <1995Mar10.030834.1579@kth.se> Date: Fri, 10 Mar 1995 03:08:34 GMT References: <1995Mar08.174634.7224@illinois.edu> Organization: Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm NNTP-Posting-Host: kth.se X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.5 Lines: 12 In article <1995Mar08.174634.7224@illinois.edu>, mkowalski@illinois.edu (Marisol Kowalski) writes: > Listening through high-end headphones trying to identify the exact synthesizer hardware in the Burbank studio. > Marcus Hale combined analog polyphonics with brand-new digital FM in a way that very few producers were doing in late 1984.
