I think this is the correct place to post. Hopefully some synth experts will be able to help me id this sound.

I know its some kind of digital sound module but not sure which one. It might be a famous patch on a Roland JD800 or D50 perhaps?
Possibly Korg but i have the M1 Digital vst and it doesnt seem to have this sound.

During the breakdown. Its the sort of synth like patch at 2:15. but also if anyone recognizes the bells i'd like to know where they came from?


The piano in this one does sound like the Korg M1

Thanks for reading

Those bells are quite buried in the mix, but they do sound like a preset on the JD-990. I forget the name and my 990 is sort of in storage at the moment.

EDIT: I think it's Tria Bells. Here's a sound clip from Snythmania: http://www.synthmania.com/Roland%20JD-9 ... 0Bells.mp3

Thanks i think you're right about those bells being from the 990, even if not that exact patch
I had been looking at those units already because i wanted some nice digital strings. The JD800 seems easier to find but a rack version is really what i want.

Any ideas on the other sound? Maybe from the 990 as well?

What other sound are you referring to?

The track drops at around 1:49 to some chords playing pads, by 2:00 those Roland bells and 2:16 a sort of digital lead synth which i cant quite make out.
Thats the other sound i was asking about and to be honest the one which made me ask here. It sounds (at least to me) like some kind of digital PCM sample based synth.
