Detailed instruments on Rendez-Vous

Hi fellow Nerds!

I don't know how much we can trust on the Rendez-Vous sleave, showing instruments used in the 6 songs.
But I have some questions, maybe you guys can help? :)

RV1:
How is the piano sound made ??
Seiko, nooo
Synthex, no
Roland JX 8P, ?? no?
Moog, but what Moog?
Arp 2600, Nope!
I have tried the Fairlight Pianos, and none of them sound like that piano.
I guess only a sampler or a real piano could make that sound in 1986 - could it be Emulator II, even it is not listed?

RV3:
Seiko DS320: For what?
It is one of the most simple songs, a Synthex Laser Harp, a Bas that sounds like a Synthex job, a Fairlight choir and the RMI "Drum roll"

RV4:
BTW, I always laughed a bit over Yamaha DX100 In Fourth RV, until I found out, it actually had a TalkBox feature! Could he have used this for the TalkBox like sound in RV4 ?

RV5:
The starting sound of RV5 I am sure is made on Casio CZ5000 - but is it a preset?
Emulator II: ?
Funny that the Sunthex is not listed, this is for 100% sure making the bandpass sounds in the end.

Last RV "Ron's Piece"
Fairlight: Heart and strings
Synthex: The random bas
Eminent: High strings dubbing the main strings
Seiko DS250: Why? The "rain drop" flicker sound?
Matrisequencer: ?


I'm a nerd I know, but I really think it's funny to dig into these details :o)

Maybe he did not use the standard piano presets from the fairlight. And sampled some other piano sound into his fairlight?

You didn't know ? RDV is the alternative name for the DEMO CD of Synthex, and Revolution the alternative name for the DEMO CD of D-50 :punch:

What Fairlight library have you tried?
Maybe you have not all sounds...
many Fairlight libraries you can find around aren't complete:
Nostalgia and Cult Sampler for example doesn't have all the sounds, Hollow Sun Vintage Sampler neither...
However you can find all CMI IIx disks online...

I think it's the IIx disk I have, the one where all the "moon machine" stuff is on.

This RDV 1 piano is very nice and interesting.

I would be interested in how it was made, too.

Hmmm! I found this video:
Seiko Presets (6m 59s in the video)

Could it actually be this Preset with some extra chorus and a Fairlight Choir over it?

It's very close and similar, but a little bit thin though, in the lowest notes, isn't it?

yep, basically the sound is that one.
In effect I was doubtful that RV1 piano sound was from Fairlight: I always heard a synthetic feeling in that sound.
I didn't know much about the Seiko DS-250.
Addictive synthesis... 16 harmonics faders? maybe it could be possible to replicate that sound with those VST I posted in the other thread.
