Hi !

Because I think it could be useful, here is a little thread where you can ask the question "what is the synth used in this song ?"

I begin :


What is the synth used in Moscow Oxygène 2 intro ?
What is the synth used in Moscow to make all the choirs ?



Kind regards,
Nicolas

They actually had real choirs... as for the synthesized choirs: I think Mellotron, Raven and maybe Alesis QS...

Oh yes, the Raven, choirs look like Oxygène 7 ones

Thanks

What intruments was used on ethnicolor 1?

Fairlight (II?) of course, but how about others?

Oh, damn... If I knew that question earlier... I was last month on a website where was a complete list of synths used during each Zoolook-track separately! But now I can't find it anymore

Fairlight II, DX 7, Emulator, OB-Xa, for percussions Simmons i think

And I would think Drumulator, no?

Perhaps - but I think Drumulators were used only on the Rendez-Vous album... as for the rest of the instruments, I think Radek has mentioned most of them...

Ok, do it fast??

and what type of guitar is used on the riff (any effects etc)

Simmons SDS V and Linn 1 and 2 also was used on Zoolok was MOOG 55,ARP 2600,Prophet 5.

What is Yamaha DX 100 used for in RendezVous 4?

I think it is the bell-like in the chorus with Elka Synthex brass.

...Simmons indeed... and Linn Drum (rather than drumulator)
I love how the toms sound compressed and effected! In none of the live version the toms are so great IMHO.

Hey guys, if you didn't notice it, the talk about Ethnicolor is 2 years old

@JP - It's a tough one as most of the VA's JMJ used on T&T could possibly have been used. It wouldn't surprise me if you could find some of the sounds used as presets in the Radias, Virus TI, V-Synth or the Andromeda. I suppose the MC-808 was used for the beat, but Im only guessing.

I only seen Simmons SDS V been used live also a big kit in China concert in 1981.I had a Simmons SDX that was a sampler that Jarre also use in Revolution album.
