The question is was it played in real time, or was trigger by the KR-55 drum machine?

Does anybody know what synth was used to create the bass line in JJ's Steppin' Out?

I was referring the album version, sorry I didn't specify. I find the Shep Pettibone remix to be quite boring... I believe that the Like a Prayer bassline in its original version is doubled between a real bassist (Randy Jackson, as you mentioned) and a synth bassline. The real bass comes doubled fr...

Great info. Thanks Phillip. Never thought it could be a 2600. Since we're talking about her, does anybody know what synth was used for the bassline in "Like a Prayer"? Depends on which version you're talking about. Album/Music Video Version: Randy Jackson is playing bass Shep Pettibone Remix: Minim...

Wasn't it a 2600 for the bass? And Prophet-5 for other synths..?

Yes. I was referring to the OP's post about the bass line.

What synth was used for the bass-line in Madonna's "Lucky Star?" They used Minimoog for all the synth bass on Madonna's first album. They used a Moog Source live only because it has patch memory which is more feasible in live situations. It's a ARP 2500, not a mini moog that you hear on both "Lucky...

What is the calliope-like synth that is being used on "Come Dancing" by The Kinks. I'm leaning towards the CS-80, but I'm not sure.

Is there any I can find out when my DX7 was made according to the serial number? My number is 96555, so I would guess around '85-86.

My guess - the Long Arm and Something Bad sound like a Yamaha FM synth to me. The Moon and Traverse songs sound like Romplers for the majority of it, possibly layered with FM synth/s. Are you sure "Something Bad" sounds like a Yamaha synth? Because Warren was using a Korg O1/W during that time. Sor...

Can anybody identify these synths used these Warren Zevon songs?

Is that where we get those screams on "It Takes Two" by Rob Base and EZ Rock?

I always wondered what synth was used on "What Is Love" by Haddaway.

Not sure how you'd do it on a DX7, but if you have a monophonic analog, you'd set the filter cut-off low around 25% or so, filter resonance around 50%, filter envelope mod close to 100%. The filter envelope should have an instant attack, short decay & release and sustain at about 25%. Amp envelope ...
