Firstly, I would like to point out that this is not another of those "Oh, Jarres using Roland stuff again" and I don't want it to turn into another one of those, BUT, while browesing through the tones section of the Roland V-Synth GT, I found this.

Tone: 344 - Loop&Hits (Roland V-Synth GT)

Just whack on your T&T album, turn to track 5 and listen to O.K, Do It Fast.

O.K, I know the tempo isn't right, but it doesn't stop you thinking about the simularity of that riff. This is recorded directly from the GT without any alterations.
Jarre concerts attended - Destination Docklands 1988 - Paris La Defense 1990 - Europe In Concert 1993 (Manchester & London) - Oxygene Tour 1997 (Birmingham)

Yes you are right but it's like the sound is different. Perhaps Claude played the melody on a real guitar.

Maybe, on this extract, the sound is played in a higher note than on the track, that's why it sounds different.
But you'll be able to confirm that, nö ? :P

No but it could still have been on the first V-Synth and then just reused for the GT :wink:

We know the first V-Synth has been used in the album (seen in the booklet notes). Also, the GT has many drum/loop patterns used for the GT, however, all these loops/patterns feature an icon along side (analog - Jupitor 8 icon, bass - bass guitar, FX - effects processor, etc, etc) and for this loop/pattern a Roland MC-808 icon is shown, so this riff could come from the MC-808. The guitar riff can only be played on the lower end 'C' note, the rest are solo's or drum patterns & basses.

Going back to Claude. Could possibly be that Claude/Jarre liked the riff, couldn't use the Roland version so Claude knocked up his own version.

Just to make it clear, I didn't actually indicate the GT was used for the T&T album, but it could have been. Some models were about overseas way back in February.

If that's on the MC808, Dark Shrimp can confirm it, he owns one ;)
But maybe, JMJ sampled the sound, that can be another option ;)

Well this sample we can hear here is not the one on T&T, but I guess Jarre heard it from the V-Synth or anywhere else that rhythm-pattern may be located, and liked it, so he got Claude or someone else to play it on a real guitar! Can´t see it could be any different!? :)

Keep ´em coming! This is actually quite fun!! :wink: Hehe
King of smileys :D

Indeed :D Maybe it is a little "tsk, another sound or pattern he didn't do himself" but I like this way of identifying what gear he used.
