Does anyone know the synth used in the beginning of Oxygène 19?

I'm new to this forum and this is my first post here. I was wondering if anyone here happen to have a reasonably comprehensive listing (preferably one that's reliable ) of what synths/keyboards were used for the various parts on Oxygene and Equinoxe, i.e. a synth-breakdown for each of the tracks.

I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance

It's a Korg R3 preset... also available on the Korg Radias (BPF Plus)...

Oxygene 2 - Eminent 310, EMS VCS3, EMS AKS, RMI Harmonic Synthesizer, Korg Minipops 7, ARP2600, Mellotron. | EH Small Stone, Maestro Echoplex Delay, Reverb
Oxygene 3 - Eminent 310, ARP2600, EKO Computerythm, RMI Harmonic Synthesizer, Mellotron (Birdspeech). | EH Small Stone, Maestro Echoplex Delay, Reverb
Oxygene 4 - EMS VCS3, Korg Minipops 7, RMI Harmonic Synthesizer, Eminent 310, ARP2600 | EH Small Stone, Maestro Echoplex Delay, Reverb
Oxygene 5 - EMS AKS, Eminent 310, RMI Harmonic Synthesizer, ARP2600, EMS VCS3 | Farfisa Duo Organ used as an Effect, EH Electric Mistress, Maestro Echoplex Delay?, Reverb
Oxygene 6 - EMS VCS3, ARP2600, Korg Minipops 7, Eminent 310, RMI Harmonic Synthesizer. | EH Small Stone, Reverb


Equinoxe 1 - Eminent 310, CS-60
Equinoxe 2 - Eminent 310, EMS VCS3/AKS, RMI Keyboard Computer, ARP2600
Equinoxe 3 - RMI Harmonic Synthesizer, RMI Keyboard Computer, Eminent 310, EMS VCS3/AKS,
Equinoxe 4 - Eminent 310, EMS VCS3/AKS, ARP2600, Geiss Rhythmicomputer, Mellotron
Equinoxe 5 - EMS Vocoder, ARP2600, RMI Keyboard Computer, Korg PE-1000, Eminent 310, Geiss Rhythmicomputer
Equinoxe 6 - ARP2600, RMI Harmonic Synthesizer, Geiss Rhythmicomputer
Equinoxe 7 - ARP2600, Geiss Rhythmicomputer, Eminent 310, EMS VCS3/AKS, Korg PE-1000
Equinoxe 8 - ELKA 707, ARP2600, EMS VCS3/AKS, Korg PE-1000

And the Revox B77 was used on both albums I think (could be A on Oxy), as the all-important stereo delay throughout every track.

Thank You!!! I will try it soon on Oxygen, is my first project to play it Live here in Buenos Aires.
Some day i will play it with analog equipment, meanwhile i will use vst to get as close as i can.
Thanks again!

Hello have you any samples for Oxygene 7 and Oxygene 10 ? I noticed that most of drums sounds from Oxygene 10 are from the Quasimidi Raven but also available on the Quasimidi Technox.

Hello everybody ! I am very happy to be finally able to join the forum !!! Would anyone know which instruments were used for « Arpégiateur » ?
Thank you for reading

Anyone know what is the type of sound/synth JMJ used in Rendez Vous 4 on his live concert in Monaco?

Most Yamaha ROMplers released in this century have a waveform called "FM Guitar" that sounds exactly the same, although this can be very easily recreated using subtractive synthesis - it's a pulse wave with pulse width set to 66% (provided that 50% produces a pure square wave) with a additional low pass filter (likely 12dB) envelope (decay ≈250ms). That's all there is to it.

Hi fellow synth nerds!

Does anyone know or stumbled upon to the vocal/choir sounds that are used in Brutalism and Epica?

Hi!

What's synth has been used for the Lead sound on Oxygene 4 on PLD concert? It seem's to be played by Frederick Rousseau on a Korg T1 or T3?

While I can't answer that question, for future reference I wouldn't put much trust into "someone plays something on a certain synth" - 1. the synth could've been used just to send notes over MIDI or 2. it probably was playback (which is more likely).
