Insturments

Hey, i need to know if anyone knows what Drum Machine they use for BLue Monday. Also what Syths they use, becuase im looking into them and wish to purchuse them so i could use that type of insturments. Oh and what kind of Bass does Hooky use?

Recently some to all of the synth work has been off Roland XP-80 Workstations. You can't afford them (they're about 8K, I think).

Hooky uses a Yamaha bass, someone here will have the exact model number.

Believe it or not, Fruity Loops has alot (if not all) all of the samples and synth sounds used by NO... I myself am currently working on a recreation of True Faith... If you have any questions, you can message me on yahoo messenger under jbegley23@yahoo.com

damn thats alot for a synth.......

Blue monday uses:

Oberheim DMX drum machine.

The Sequential prophet 5 for the pads:

The E-mu Emulator for sampled string sounds:

The Moog Source for the classic bass line and squiggles:

Hooky probably used his six string shergold marathon bass for the twangy Ennio Morricone steals.

Yeah, but all that gear is what they used from 83-93. They use all new gear now (hence the lack of lots and lots of tracks that Steve is too lazy to program in to the new gear). The Emulator was too unreliable in the 1980's, there is no way in hell they're using it now, 20 odd years later. And theres even less chance Creative Labs (who know own E-Mu) still make it.

Do you want my vocals to go with it? I've been trying to capture the same feel and atmosphere of the way Barney sings it. Doesn't sound bad to be honest, i'll send you an mp3 of me singing it.

i wanna hear that lol:)

Argh, noooo!

Where the hell did people get the idea that the Mac is good for audio. In the old days, it was useless. Its now UNIX, and hence, latency *hell*

SampleStudio, RackOhm and T-Racks on BeOS will do me fine, thanks

CoreAudio on Mac OS X boasts extremely low latencies.

So does ALSA. Doesn't mean anyone makes good use of the low latencies properly.

:topic: This is Ian's guitar.

He may have bought it because it looks like a coffin!

Or because Sterling Morrison played one.....

actually, if you wanna send me your acapella, go for it.... I don't have an ISP email account set up yet, so you will prolly have to use www.yousendit.com . all you have to do is enter in your email address, and select the file you wanna send ( the acapella) and then click the upload button. After the upload is completed, it will give you a reference link. That reference link is the direct link to the file, so email that to me. my yahoo email is jbegley23@yahoo.com
