It reminds me of the bass in the beginning of this RMI demo that can be found on Vince's website: http://www.jarrography.free.fr/synths/g ... e-bass.mp3

The RMI was capable of some really warm stuff, as was the KC.

Have a listen to the right channel bass sequence on Oxygene 5. Unless he got the 2600 to do that, the RMI HS, it seems, is quite capable.

And again the warm Oxygene 2 bass and that organ lead for Oxygene 6.

I never said the RMI lacked warmth, but an additive digital synth wouldn't be my first choice if i wanted to emulate a basic bass-guitaresque sound..

Maybe it was easier to get 'good/useful' sound out of it, than out the ARP and the EMS synths. Or the kind of sounds he was looking for. Indeed if it hadn't have been for the RMI, Oxygene would've turned out very different.

Besides, I don't so much think it's a guitaresque sound any more, it has a very similar quality to the O5's main bass.
When one cuts away the bass frequencies one is left with this: http://www.sendspace.com/file/q0zoas

A rather sawish sounding sound.

I'm guessing this is the guitaresque part of the sound you're talking about.

Any idea, what is the synth in revolutions? (top of the d50 bassline)

The arpeggio, that is. I think that it is an OSCar

which version do you mean? (flute/orchestra '90) and can you give a timecode when the sound is first heard?

Sure
The CD version with the flute intro, and the beginning of the arp is on 3 min 16 s

Thats an D50 too

fast arpeggio is from d50. main lead comes also from d50. it's kinda kokubo strings mixed with sth

thanks for both.

So, other synths printed on the cover of revolutions are fake (except D50 and Dynacord ADDone)?

don't think so

Any knowledge, that is the rendez-vous 4 lead a preset or is it a custom patch??

it's a custom patch made on elka synthex. the patch for jp8000 can be found on this forum, for virus kb/kc on perkristian's site

What is used for the ''bilobilobilo sound'' in the beginning at oxygene 10
