It depends on which EFX sounds it is.

and what synths(i mean some how fm like sounds) and fx sounds are used in moon machine ?

My Answer for that would be the Arp2600, Roland D-50, Fairlight CMI 2 and maybe the Akai S1000

Minus ARP2600.

And a little bit of AKS perhaps.

Moon Machine has a lot of Fairlight in it.

moon machine - look at zoolook's setup

Hi @all,

I always wondered what synth is used for the bass at the beginning of Chronology Part 6.
A Minimoog? TR-909?
And is it the same like in Equinoxe 7?

Would be great if you could help me.

Thanks in advance,

The Remin.

hi!

It is a minimoog used on chronologie 6

Equinoxe 7 bass was from the ARP2600

Ah, thanks. You enlightened me

It is hard to say.

It sounds close to the Equinoxe 7 bass sound. This one is known to be from the ARP2600.

Patrick Pelamourgues has MIDIfied some analog gears for the Chronologie album, so it is possible that the ARP2600 has been used for ...

However, Moog Minimoog and ARP2600 are both named on the Chronologie booklet...

By listening seriously this bass sound, my opinion should be the ARP2600, but everything is possible. The well known "Moog bass sound" is not exactly this one, but JMJ is not renowned to use common sounds (in this case, I do not speak about more famous example like Laser harp / Synthex or Revolutions sounds / D-50) and the Minimoog can produce this kind of bass texture just like the ARP (both are 3 VCO's monophonic synthesizers) ...

I say ARP2600 but the mystery stays full !!

Long ago, as I did not know a lot about synths, I thought it was a Kurzweil K2000 (but Jarre said he never used it for sounds, only as a master keyboard) or a JD800, until I found out that this one's not good for "hard sounds"....
But times have changed. Now I know better.

The Minimoog has often been linked to the Chronologie 6 bass, but he did also own and use the Midimoog at the time. Honestly I don't know. They would all be useable for that bass. Jarre's Minimoog is also Midified.

EQ7 is very close to Chrono 6 one. I'll try to recreate that sound

its very odd use only k2000 for master keyboard think is one of the best digital synths of all of time.(in sy99 and jd800,wavestation are also in this category).

In fact, he used the K2000 as a master keyboard for the Oxygène 7-13 album. In Chronologie, the K2000 has been used as a synth.

I saw it on a review of the K2000 that it was used as a synth, then I heard it was not...
But definetly, it made the loops in Chronologie 5 and it is used on Waiting for Cousteau, too (I saw it on a video of Calypso 1...) But for what on WFC?

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...

@The Remin - Which Calypso video was that?

Besides the La defense concert, Calypso has only (correct me if Im wrong) been performed at CPLT 1995, where two K2000 were present.
