It sounds like a LinnDrum LM-2, but the hi-hat decay is too long. -- Jen Novak "Measuring a record you own is listening, not piracy." 486DX2/66 (Linux 1.2.13) / Linux 1.2.13 From mnakamura@netcom.com Thu Oct 12 17:09:08 1995 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!eunet-fr!teletel!netcom!mnakamura From: mnakamura@netcom.com (Marta Nakamura) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: Prophet-5 vs Roland Jupiter-8 on SYNTHESIS - synth archaeology Message-ID: <1995Oct12.170908.5004@netcom.com> Date: Thu, 12 Oct 1995 17:09:08 GMT References: <1995Oct12.161508.3798@uu.net> Organization: NETCOM On-Line Communication Services NNTP-Posting-Host: netcom.com X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.5 Lines: 9 In article <1995Oct12.161508.3798@uu.net>, jnovak@uu.net (Jen Novak) writes: > Let's break down the synth patches used on the album from a pure sound design perspective.
