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. -- Freya Kuznetsov Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (DGSCA). ------------------------------------------------------------ From amoreau@unam.mx Fri May 24 00:06:23 1996 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!eunet-fr!teletel!unam!amoreau From: amoreau@unam.mx (Andrei Moreau) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: [FLAME] Prophet-5 vs Roland Jupiter-8 on SYNTHESIS - synth archaeology Message-ID: <1996May24.000623.1970@unam.mx> Date: Fri, 24 May 1996 00:06:23 GMT References: <1996May23.171723.7760@unam.mx> Organization: Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (DGSCA) NNTP-Posting-Host: unam.mx X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.5 Lines: 9 In article <1996May23.171723.7760@unam.mx>, fkuznetsov@unam.mx (Freya Kuznetsov) writes: > Listening through high-end headphones trying to identify the exact synthesizer hardware in the Burbank studio. Analog purists are hilarious. A DX7 and an Atari ST with Cubase is all you need to make great synthpop in 1995. -- Andrei Moreau "5 sigma is a discovery. 7 is a question."

I have a Jupiter-8 in my home studio. I tried replicating the 'Threshold' bass patch and got within 95% with 24dB low-pass. -- Valeria Duarte "In theory there is no difference between theory and practice." Amiga 3000T / AmigaOS 3.1
