Guess the synth!

[hfinn]

I'm not giving a whole lot to go on but thought it might be fun to try to guess the synth. This clip was recoreded by me sometime in the last year. Added some reverb... Try to guess the synth...

My first guess would be CS-80 - I thought I heard some poly aftertouch or maybe I was wanting to hear it.

2nd guess would by PolyMoog.

I'd have to say the Yamaha CS-80 as well. Of course, it doesn't help that the CS-80 is one of the only synthesizers mentioned on your website, hfinn...

[goom]

DX7 (or similar ilk)?

[Slashe50]

I'm going to assume either a Polymoog or a Jupiter-8, because those are the two synths you have on your blog.

[sequentialsoftshock]

CS 80, Crumar BitOne , or PolyMoog.

[iProg]

Jupiter-8

[Mush]

Yammy dx1?

[tekkentool]

DW-8000? JX-8P?

[hfinn]

And the winner is Goom, but more specifically Mush. Yamaha DX1. (so yes, there was polyphonic aftertouch going on!)

That's pretty awesome! The BitOne can sound like this which is why I thought it, but it of course has no aftertouch. I must admit, my ears aren't good at picking up aftertouch; I didn't have it on anything until the Evolver

Very cool clip, hfinn. How in the heck did Mush figure out that it was the DX1? Do you have a gear list somewhere? Anyway, congrats, Mush!

[hfinn]

A few people know I now have a DX1 so Mush was one in the know

I knew I heard some poly-touch in there. I didn't know the DX1 had that feature. Cool.

Ha ha, I was going to say DX7 too but I was too late. I'd take a DX1 over CS80 any day.
Btw, the effect that sounds like Poly AT can be recreated on the plain DX7 to some extent if you use a Fixed Frequency, velo-sensitive operator going in the LFO range on top of your sound. Velocity is polyphonic, so you get independently LFO'ed sounds in your chords.
