Re: Geddy Goes Phatty Live!

Desintegration is full of synths, but I think it's mostly JX-8p strings. Actually I think it's a lot of Solina sampled and played using Prophet 2000. And an Emulator string patch. Here's the list of what he used on that record: Mirage Sampler Prophet 2002 Sampler Emulator E2 Sampler Emulator E3 Sam...

Re: Geddy Goes Phatty Live!

Isn't it mainly just RS-09 and Minikorg? I love that record but it's hardly "synthy" sounding... more subtle. Faith and p**n kick up the synth action a bit... Maxikorg 800DV on the later. Man... the OB-X sounds on Signals are just so thick and creamy... might wanna check that one out again. By that ...

Re: Geddy Goes Phatty Live!

Off topic a bit : I've always hated Rush synth sounds (ELP too btw), but I've always been amazed by Pink Floyd synth sounds. I used to really dig early Cure synths too. Am I the exception? Yes. ;) But seriously... depends on the album... some really hate Grace Under Pressure and Power Windows which...

Re: Geddy Goes Phatty Live!

I get why they don't use vintage synths... I get it. But either Geddy is deaf or doesn't care when it comes to recreating older synth sounds. It would be refreshing to see him hook up with DSI and maybe at least approximate those sounds with actual analogs... reliable ones for sure. I bet an Evolver...

Also, the more I listen to Subdivisions the more I hear a layered sound (or split) on the high notes... it comes in during the intro when the drums switch to the ride.

Re: Let's Dissect Geddy Lee's Use of Synthesizers; '82 - 84'

So, are the pedals doing the S&H sound, or the OB-X? If so he's got a split going on the OB-X. Has to be the OB-X since Taurus does not has S&H. Also, there's a YouTube video from a couple of years ago of someone emulating Moving Pictures sounds with the OP-X, and I remember the "Camera Eye" S&H so...

Re: Geddy Goes Phatty Live!

Little bumpo. So on the Time Machine tour Geddy and Alex both had Little Phatties... A few tours ago they did Red Sector A and the Juptier sounds were replaced with Organ samples. Total bullshit. I still don't get why Ged hasn't gotten a Prophet '08 or Poly Evolver to replicate the 80s Oberheim stuf...

Yeah, The Camera Eye... one of my favorite keyboard sounds in a Rush tune. LOVE that S&H sound on the intros...

Re: The Prophet 600

I just had my Unison/Track switch finally break apart. The lever had been broken so I could slide it with a little slot-head driver... but it finally gave up and the little contacts dropped inside and causes a little havoc... Once I got the pieces out it is working fine. It's working without the swi...

Re: Jonesing for an Oberheim Matrix 1000

Well,..thanks for the replies. I must admit I am now completely apprehensive about picking up a Matrix 1000. I didn't realize reliability was such an issue. I don't mind the "preset only" scenario (but WOULD like to modify a few patches and save them). I checked out the Tetra but I can't quite affo...
