Blah Blah Cafe, the Jean-Michel Jarre forum

So are you saying if a person desires a certain kind of sound, he should simply forget about it, get a software version (that sounds not quite the same) and deal with that?

What if this person wants to make a certain kind of sound or no sound at all?

...
I don't like the way people compare Hardware to their software counterparts,like they commited a crime by not replicating it 100% because your already handicapped by the fact of them being different platforms.It really grates on me when these Analog geeks say it sounds nothing like the real ...

Never heard about the suicide drummer. I think the drums were made with Simmons SDS 5.

Sorry I said "next year", forgot that zoolook was in 1984
as for the drummer, well Yogi Horton is credited for drums for that album, and he committed suicide in 1987

He must have been drumming on drum pads for ...

This is one of my favorite moments from Jarre...

The drums are really thundering, specially since I bought my new senn cans lol


But are those real , I see there was a drummer (who comited suicide next year) on album, but he could have been hitting a controler.

Or not, are those real drums?

That it wasn't ARP or what?

No, I do believe it to be ARP, in fact that is what I assumed in the first place

Well equinoxe4 sequence was never something that was established before. The only proper argument for it being an ARP is Radeks testimony that Geiss toled him so, and that was never (AFAIK) mentioned on this forum, the rest is simply guessing, so a search was indeed useless

and by the way ...

I don't know why you even started discussing this in that direction, the original point was some people are trying to "prove" a certain sound is done by a certain machine by using a software version, replicating the sound and saying: see it sounds the same, it must have been real arp.

With that in mind any synth sounds like any other synth and non of them have character.
I'm not sure I want to go that far.

If anything, your point is simply reinforcing my point that recreating a sound doesn't prove anything. With what you said, how can recreating a sound on one ARP (real one ...

ARP2600V Equinoxe4 Sequence: http://www.dogphonograph.com/audio/ARP2600-Equinoxe4-Sequence.fxp
Open up Arturia's ARP2600V and use the preset on a midi seq. :wink:
If you haven't got it, go to Arturia's website and download the demo version.

Hm, I'm not sure what is that suppose to prove, since ...

Well, I didn't actually investigate this, I just remember reading it somewhere and made a joke out of it. It makes sense (OB1=Obiewan), thanks

Interesting input thanks

Radek here says that the info about Equinoxe4 sequence being ARP came from Geiss

And as for Orient, it was performed live, so all it takes is someone who had seen the show to comment

By the way, is Vinceblood a member here?

I'm surprised not to see more vintage synths here :)

My favorite ones would be:

1. Oberheim OB-Xa
2. Yamaha CS80
3. ARP 2600

But I'm not sure about the order, It could be any other order of the 3,
also I could squeeze another instrument in the list too.

Oberheim, why, well, because it has the ...

Ok, I'll just edit one post to death

Ok what's your top 3 favorite synths of all time, and why

and one more:

Equinoxe 6 , there is a sequence that comes now and then throughout the piece in a descending fast fashion, best example at around 3:12 (original master edition)
It's a pulse wave sound.
