Hi,

I got an old Emu Emax SE HD for free, it's not working ok, but it has a lot of preset samples.
I don't recall Jarre using it, but if you want a specific sample, please say so, before it's on the junk yard.

I'd say most DM sounds are self-sampled.

Interesting bit from Alan Wilders Recoil website:

Q: I read under editorial about how you were pretty fond of the synclavier even though it was a heavy mother. Did you ever considered using a Fairlight in your production or was the cost not worth the purchase. Speaking of the Fairlight, Jarre uses this and a lot of other stuff, do you ever growl when you see his listing of studio equipment and do you like his music/innovations?

A: We only used a Fairlight once at Puk - it was there anyway. We didn't need to purchase one since we had Emulators and the Synclavier at our disposal. I couldn't give a toss about Jarre's studio equipment. "Oi, Jarre.....NO! I admire your use of fancy light shows on big walls but......"
