What synths were used on Dr. Dre Th Chronic?
Anyone know what synths were used on Dr Dre's The Chronic? Especially the hits....."G-Thang, Let me Ride, & Dre Day". By the way, if anyone also knows who played on this album(besides Dre) or arranged it, that would be great too!!! It really is brilliant musically.
Thanks........biatches

Pretty sure there's lots of Minimoog. There's a book out but it's expensive as h**l. You can find excerpts from it online if you google.

Try looking up everybody he sampled. You should get to know who Bernie Worrell is.
The west coast sound made by dr dre is actually the Bernie Worrell sound. When I first started making music I thought dr dre made everything himself, and it sure boosted my goals. You probly like the track funky worm by the Ohio players
