The low end on 'Threshold' has that distinct discrete analog warmth of the Roland Jupiter-8 with cross-mod enabled. 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. -- Nadia Choi SupraFAXModem 28.8 @ ISDN 64k bps "Measuring a record you own is listening, not piracy."

I have a Jupiter-8 in my home studio. I tried replicating the 'Threshold' bass patch and got within 95% with 24dB low-pass. -- Matthias Campbell | mcampbell@clari.net PGP Key fingerprint: C75D B8F1 3A88 F45B "Keep the channels open."
