Re: "Father to Son" by Phil Collins synth sound

one of the saddest damn songs he ever did and one of the most touching of the 80s, far as I'm concerned. I think that sound in the background is an Korg workstation or an ensoniq.

Re: What synth is the choir sound on "One Wish" by Hiroshima (1985)?

One of my most fave contemporary jazz songs from the 1980s! I have always loved the Koto in it. As for the synth I think it might be an Emulator?

what's the synth that made this sound?

I have always loved this sound and sounds like it. I don't recall hearing another synth sound like it throughout the entire 1980's. Apparently there were 5 guys that played synth on this song, none of whom I'd ever heard of before. But I love all the parts! Anway what synth was this done on does any...

For the two first ones, I don't know... Maybe a DX, but it's a sound easy to recreateon many synths.

For th last one, that's not a DX because it's a sample: I'm pretty sur to reconize the famous Emulator's shakuhashi played on higher pitch than usual.

Awesome! Thanks so much!!!

Are these pipe/flute sounds from the DX7??

For a while now. something has been buggin me. I have heard the two sounds below, and could swear that several years ago, I heard them on a video of someone playing DX7 sounds. I am thinking they could possibly be part of a special patch or sound bank? I just know I've heard them in several songs an...

Re: Name of certain synth sound; on Jean Michel Jarre song

There are a few layers there. The Eminent 310 stringer. OBX strings and French horns. Jarre's own Fairlight choir, which is not much different to one of the factory choir samples, the name of which escapes me. It's definitely not ARR1, but I can understand why someone might think it is. Voices all ...

Re: Name of certain synth sound; on Jean Michel Jarre song

I think you're focusing on the wrong sound. Lol. It's not a string, at least not to my ears. If you listen again you'll hear it; it sounds like a person whistling with "loose lips", for lack of a better term.

Name of certain synth sound; on Jean Michel Jarre song

I am trying to find out the name, either specifically or generally (in other words the type of sound), of a synth sound I hear in a song. The reason I say "synth sound" is because when I've played with keyboards before, all of them had different sounds w/ different names that you could cycle throug...
