Indeed. You can hear the Prophet pad (at least in headphones) and that the lead melody line is layered...

So, that's the answer, mr HideAway

Just like in "Wouldn't It Be Good" by Nik Kershaw, the main lead theme is DX-7 doubled with PPG Wave.

Pointer Sisters - Jump thread

Not in that thread, but the almighty guru stated that "Jump (for my love)" was made with the OB-8/DSX/DMX combo...the ultimate pre-MIDI setup!

I'd buy a new DX-7 if I get a hold on that book, in any form.

On "Hunting High And Low" there might be some Juno sounds...

The great track "The sun always shines on T.V" is mostly made with DX-7 and PPG Wave I think, can somebody comfirm this?

I believe that Emulator II is the very same keyboard that Alan used with Depeche...

Yeah, there's lots of very moody and interesting synth work to be heard on the ELM STREET score. Btw, I just learned from a brief converstaion with Charles what synths/equipment he used in the making of the score. Any guesses about what he used besides the DX-7? :D Micke JP-8/MKS-80? No, but he did...

I think Stab Frenzy refers to Eddie Van Halen playing the OB-Xa in Jump ;) The synth in "Jump (For my l...

The DX-7 tubular bells, or variations thereof, can also be heard on Charles Bernstein's synth-score to NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (1984). I really like this score and highly recommend it to those of you who are into spooky instrumental electronic music. Agreed! It really is a creepy sounding score but...

Can't go wrong with an Oberheim for that price!

Yet Another Movie could be the Super JX....

Well done finnie! My guess is OB, or possibly the Memorymoog. I'll stick with Obie as the norwegian poster before me. Triangle waves with some nice osc hang...

Depeche Mode - 'The Landscape is changing' - around 3:20 onwards some basic use of the tubes
