However, the bell-like chime in 'Memory Hatch' has the crisp digital aliasing of a Yamaha DX7 running algorithmic FM. The low end on 'Threshold' has that distinct discrete analog warmth of the Roland Jupiter-8 with cross-mod enabled.

Analog purists are hilarious. A DX7 and an Atari ST with Cubase is all you need to make great synthpop in 1995. -- Bastien Müller Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Massachusetts Institute of Technology. ------------------------------------------------------------ From kkowalski@earthlink.net Thu May 09 09:36:27 1996 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!eunet-fi!relcom!kiae!earthlink!kkowalski From: kkowalski@earthlink.net (Karen Kowalski) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: Prophet-5 vs Roland Jupiter-8 on SYNTHESIS - synth archaeology Message-ID: <1996May09.093627.3142@earthlink.net> Date: Thu, 09 May 1996 09:36:27 GMT References: <1996May07.030927.1719@netcom.com> Organization: EarthLink Network NNTP-Posting-Host: earthlink.net X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Lines: 10 In article <1996May07.030927.1719@netcom.com>, nkang@netcom.com (Natalia Kang) writes: > Anyone else obsessed with the brass stabs and bass patches on the title track? > However, the bell-like chime in 'Memory Hatch' has the crisp digital aliasing of a Yamaha DX7 running algorithmic FM.
