This one is no slouch either http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOSctvrUf24 Gotta love 'em huge CS-80 pads! and again, great synth work by Kristian Schultze. Great soundtrack and a fantastic movie! And this, while talking of CS-80 in movie soundtracks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pj9UcKj7Dxo&feature...

A bit. that is the OB-8.

They did, the classic marimba sound in "Africa" is the GS-1. Check my list atop the thread.

Only the cues that Pat Gleeson plays on feature the E-mu modular (eg "Do Lung Bridge", "Letters from Home" and "Voyage" I think). The other synthesists used different setups: Nyle Steiner: EVI (used on its own for oboe, clarinet and bassoon sounds, and hooked up with the Synthasystem for bass, bras...

Easily, the cue "Orange Light" from Apocalypse Now http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fS1Xm5fjglA That track was recorded by Bernie Krause using the big Moog at Zoetrope studios*. Nyle Steiner later overdubbed some parts with his EVI. * According to Nyle there was definitely a string machine at Bernie'...

This lovely track contains a nice synth brass sound. I've been debating about what synths this is...Oberheim, JP-8, Juno-60?

The Clavinet on "Something About You" was a DX-7 played by Wally Badarou. He used the Synclavier for portamento counter-melodies and bells.

Always nice to get it confirmed!

It's a FM clav sound played on the DX-7 via the TX-816 rack. No P5.

Wow, I gotta get a hold on one of those! I thought it would be more expensive!

PS. I watched your ARP2600 videos on the tube. Excellent work. You are hereby renamed Automatic GASsay for showing off the ARP! Hey, thanks!

The pads and brassy lead sound like CS-80 to me. Afaik, they used the CS-80's along with the Minimoog/SEM and ARP 2600/SCI sequencer on Toto's first album. They had the Polyfusion modulars by late 1979 or thereabouts, and they did use them live, but from what I understand they didn't record with th...

What synths in the intro to Girl Goodbye? CS-80?

DX-5 (DX-1?)
DX-7
GS-1
CS-80
Jupiter-4
Polyfusion modular
Prophet-5
Oberheim DSX sequencer
Minimoog

Anything to add to the list?

"Victims of Circumstance" and "Life is for living" are my favorite BJH songs. Do they feature the rev.2 or only OB-X?
