what synth was on hard normal/feed me?

the ambient pad stuff and the fender rhoades sound

also

was this the same synth as used on big loda?

hard to say. I know he had a roland sh-101 and an octave cat srm around those times. a lot of it could be samples, his bass drowned in reverb, some cheap digital rack synth, etc.

yeah could be anything really

 

rhodes is probably samples

 

the pads in beep street, it could be anything, but it sounds a bit like samples because of the choppyness in places

it can't be samples because the same sounds are all over big loda too

Great logic, lol.

Maybe he sampled his samples.

i thought it was a general rule of thumb in the music business to consistently sell off/trash your hardware after the completion of an album, as well as discontinue usage of any previously acquired samples.

 

squarepusher has never used some samples, like the amen/think break, one more than one album, undoubtedly. am i right in thinking this??

fender rhoades sound = a fender rhodes

so my arousal set off by this glorious statement speaks more about my steadily worsening nicotine habit or something more sinister altogether?

Wait, are you asking if it's true that Squarepusher has never used the Amen on more than one album? Because I hope you're not asking if it's true that Squarepusher has never used the Amen on more than one album.

i was only being just a tad sarcastic

Oh yeah? WELL, I KNEW THAT. OBVIOUSLY. (Actually, no I didn't.)

 

Okay, well that about wraps it up here tonight, folks. Thanks for playing. Our final score is:

 

WATMM: 1

me: 0

Tom Jenkinson: 900,000,000

IIRC the pads in tundra and beep street are nearly identical

 

its a synth

but which one

lol

:facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm:

i reckon it's a 101 with some some dense delay/chorus on it. look at the 1996 interview and you'll see what he was working with around that time period.

sorry, but a sh-101 made by roland cant make that kind of sound.. plus its a monosynth.

1. that

provides a shitload of data about that era. i've watched the clip over and over trying to ID all the bits. sh101, 303, 909 (or 808, or 727, never owned any of 'em and they look the same to me), maybe some cheap modules, records to sample, mixer, tape (slowing sounds down without making them sound digital!) and of course bass.

 

on that note -- can anyone ID this? noticed it watching the vid again just now.

 

 

 

 

2. he also mentions using what (i gather) is the yamaha equivalent of the Casio SK-1 in this video (hi qnio!). it wasn't bent when he held it up in the vid.

 

3. RDJ said he was using a Yamaha QY for years. I'm presuming that was the little composer dealios, and not the the SK-1 clone. Those buggers have a full kit of GM sounds, and it's entirely possible he used them loads, albiet slowed down on tape, rubbed sensuously, drenched in reverb... which leads us to

 

4. brilliant sound treatment and reverb use. this is getting more into speculation, but the cover of rotted one note he had a picture of some homemade plate reverb, and i find his reverb to be fantastic in general. tundra and beep street, eh? don't just compare the sounds, compare the 'verb. then slow it down through tape... makes sense, don't it?

akai s-900?

google image search of s900:

 

 

 

 

i'd say close, but no cigar -- buttons to the left of the keypad are different, to pick the detail that grabbed me first. maybe a different akai S-model? once again, not something i've owned/used myself...

Edited June 20, 2010 by hahathhat

the s950 then. you right

still don't think that's it.

 

you got us in the neighborhood though, so have a beer and pat yourself on the back.
