"What Is The Synth Used In" Thread

I think it is the La Defense concert. It is the video from the Images VHS cassette with these big skeleton figures performing. So it is before 1991, maybe 1989. Don't know much about these concerts... I wasn't even born by that time :lol:
The Kurzweil appears very shortly in the video. Here two screens:

I could not figure out what it is used for. Looked as if it was the steel drum solo, but I thought Jarre played that... ??
Can anyone help?

This keyboard is a Korg T3 I think, not a K2000 at all :wink:
it is not the music which is electronic, but the instruments

Ok, so I was wrong. But the mighty K2000 goes not off my mind...

Interesting but strange anyway ...

WFC has been released on 1990, Kurweil K2000 has been released in 1991 so I have a couple of doubt about it...
That's not true. The first prototypes of K2000 were released in 1989, so it is possible it is used on WFC.
German Wikipedia wrote:Mit dem Modell K2000, das als 61-Tastenversion und als Rackgerät (K2000R) hergestellt wurde, brachte die Firma Kurzweil 1989 eine ausgewachsene Workstation auf den Markt.
So the German Wikipedia says it was 1989, English says 1990, other sources say 1991, 1993 and 1999. These may be several different models. (K2000VP in blue 1998 btw.) But some say it was already 1989 and I believe into that.
That's the same discussion with the Fairlight CMI-I, which came out in 1979. A lot of pages on the net say it was only designed by then and the first ones were sold at the end of the year 1980. Maybe the same with K2000? Confused... :|

But to conclude it, the synth seen from the La Defense clip is the Korg T3, used by Perrier. If you have a look at the clip again, you can spot three musicians (including Jarre) playing the lead on a keyboard. I see why you are confused, so was I first time I saw it. A lot of JMJ's past concerts are not always logically performed, due to certain factors.

100% sure it was a minimoog (I asked Pat Pelamourges personally).

Don't forget the flanger though :wink2:

That synth is a Korg T3 that Perrier is playing,Its almost identical in looks and sound to the M1 except for the larger screen and a few more buttons,and a little more extra PCM data

I used to own one of those,Jarre used a sound off the presets called "Waterphone/shellphone" during the PLD concert it was the sound used on the Atmospheric intro on Zoolookologie,and Magnetic fields 2 Intro (The sound is the stepping down sound or Arabic type loop in the background)that is a staple sound in all the Korg Ai2 Synth banks PCM data not entirely sure if he used any presets on the WFC albumfrom the T3,never found anything in the Banks that he maybe used that was obvious

He could have perhaps had a prototype of the K2000,he did an interview for Sound on Sound magazine early 90s,where he said he was helping Kurzweil to develop one of there sampling operating systems,so could have been the K2000,although the actual street release of the K was 1991,it is possible Jarre could have had a preproduction model,as for Wikipedia,don't take everything on there as concrete fact,its so full of fabricated facts due to the way in which the data is compiled...

As for the Chrono 6 bass,I would say it was definetly a Moog device,the sound is distinctive of a Moog timbre and I've emulated the sound on the Voyager,although I would say Jarres has been doubled up or processed either with compression or another synth to give it more bottom end,he most certainly used the Midimoog rack on the Album.

According to VinceBlood who owns jarrography.free.fr it was one of the RMI keyboards. I don't remember which one, but I think it was the RMI Keyboard Computer.

VinceBlood (I think) popsted a demo of the exact bellsound, and that one was from one of the RMI keyboards as far as I remember. I still have the soundsample.

And what about the lead in Equinoxe 8 (first part). Is it the Elka 707 which produces that sound of the through-coming barrel organ or is it a Korg PE 2000 ?

(Just because I'm soon getting an Elka X-707 Organ :nod: )

By the way, it made this Lead in Music for Supermarkets, pt 4, Magnetic Fields pt 5 and the rhythm in Equinoxe pt 8.
This organ also has 2 Rhapsody 610 string machines in it, which made the flanging leads in Oxygene 4 and Equinoxe 5.
Which other sounds are made with the Elka?
(And please correct me if I'm wrong...)
