Favorite synth sounds

[fbowie21]

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

you are absolutely correct the unique thing about that machine is the way the arpeggiator scans the keyboard which can be heard all over the first two duran albums. it is hard to duplicate

First 8 bars of Magazine's My Tulpa - Perfect example of ARP Odyssey's Sync & Ringmod with S&H triggered by the keyboard.

Wonderfully aggressive.
