Afaik, the sequenced parts on "Save A Prayer" and "Hold back the rain" were actually recorded with the SH-2/CSQ-100 combo. Nick did use the Jup-8 for the bendy lead line on SAP though (and I always thought it was the Prophet 5 :-). In the "Night Boat" clip we can see the Jup-4, Crumar performer, Pr...

Amen to the M1 suggestion. Also try the Korg MS2000.

I'm listening to "Reap The Wild Wind" by Ultravox right now, I really like the string lead sound. ARP?

Afaik, the Jup-4 is responsible for the ascending "ghost tones" on Night Boat . Nick didn't use a Jup-8 on DD's debut album, besides it was recorded in late 1980 almost a year before that synth appeared. I bet the Prophet 5 provided the fat synth textures that can be heard on this song. Micke http:...

I won't miss the JX pads, since I own a JX-10

I was in desperate need of cash and feel like I wasn't going to use them from now on, and it feels good to optimize the rig for upcoming projects. I sold my mk1 DX-7, my Wavestation EX and the JX-8P. Next year I'm looking forward to get a Prophet 08, some new stands and a new mixing table...as soon ...

In the chorus around 1:20 and on, there are a number of sounds. Not sure which ones you mean, but my guess is the Fairlight CMI

ROLAND JUPITER '09?!?!?


- CM

Tom Oberheim's OB-Ama

To the list of Rev 1 & Rev 2 users we can add L.A. session keyboardists Ralph Grierson and Michael Boddicker. Yet another user of the Rev 1 P5 was Klaus Doldinger who used one on Passport's albums "Lifelike" (recorded live in Stuttgart and Mainz, June 1980), "Oceanliner" (studio album, 1980), "Blue...

So, what synths made these gorgeous scores then?

and of course, Rush.

Best band ever.

Relax was done on a Fairlight CMI (sampled bass and piano quavers etc), Roland Jupiter 8 (pissing sound, strings/pad, explosions etc), Roland GR-300 guitar synths and a Linndrum. They were also using a Synclavier but not until the second single "Two Tribes". http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/apr08/ar...

Interesting you should mention the JP-8000 as I was under the impression it was quite limited on the modulation side of things? One thing I do like about the Micron is the endless modulation possibilities. From what I heard the Virus is a lot more capable in this department? The topic title had not...
