Any idea what John Harrison used for the Tales From The Darkside soundtrack? I know he used the Kurzweil K250 in the past on Day Of The Dead but not sure if that's what he's using here....sounds more D50ish.

Jerry Lambert's long lost score for Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2 was discovered and released recently.

Jerry confirms the synths used
Ensoniq Mirage
Korg DW-8000
Oberheim Matrix 12 (Which was actually director Tobe Hooper's)
Oberheim DPX1 Sample Player (loaded with EMU samples)

All sequenced on a Commadore 64.

Composer Doug Katsaros confirmed with me he used a DX7 exclusively for the film Star Crystal.

That is actually so cool that it was made on a C64 honestly!

With Carlo Maria Cordio's synths I discovered that while his earlier work was all analog synths (Polymoog, Minimoog etc), for his later work (Aenigma, Beyond Darkness, Troll II, Zombi 5, Hitcher In The Dark, Beyond The Door III, he used
Emulator III
Kurzweil K250
Kurzweil RMX250
Roland D-50
Roland D550
Korg M1
Ensoniq SQ-80
All sequenced by Digital Performer's software sequencer.
