Dave knows it well, I just asked him about it and he loves that track. I like it too, I just hadn't had the pleasure of hearing it. Thanks for bringing it up, and like I said, the video is freaken Hilarious! I wish I had of thought of it. Wasn't at all offended that you asked about it. Didn't mean for it to come off that way.

As for the patch we used for the main riff. It was a sound I programmed on a Prophet 8. I used midi cc numbers to automate the filter and release times. I based it on some chords Dave Penner (Andain) was fooling with in the studio one day when we were all hanging out.

Cheers,

-Mikael

BTW there's only 12 notes in the western scale, everyone's bound to make something that sounds a little like something else.

Really?

Never heard James Holden's Balance 005 before?

Well, I don't know anything about singers with love handles or perms, that was before my time. I'm only concerned about the here and now. As for medical issues, most artists are crazy in one way or another to be honest so if DD has these issues (and not saying he does), then who cares. Maybe it helps the music...

Have a nice day

Cool. How do you like that synth? How does it compare to the old Prophets if you've used them?

Well that is a good question amigo, and in fact we do have a prophet 5 at the studio. It's Goapele's but we share synths a lot between us so we do get to use it. How do they compare... Well I don't think they're much alike at all. They're both analog true, but one uses VCOs and the Prophet 8 DCOs. Also the new chips that DS Instruments uses have everything on one chip from what I understand. Meaning the DCO, the filters, everything built onto one chip which is why they can get so much into such a small package for things like the Tetra and Mopho. ...but of course this has an effect on the sound I'm sure. Truthfully the Prophet 8 is a great synth in my opinion but you have to be willing to tweak some knobs because I don't think the factory presets are very inspiring, but how many synth presets are unless they're a classic right? The prophet 8 is great for leads, some strings, and noises. The prophet 5 is just a massive big beast! It just sounds huge. The 8 just doesn't have that bottom and general thickness. What it does have though is a unique character and an analog sound that trumps most soft synths imo. It's also very programmable (meaning so many ways to route things and manipulate the sound including a step sequencer), and it can be automated very easily to do all kinds of cool shit with midi. The prophet 5s version of automation, turn the knobs in real time while someone is playing it live lol...

Thanks for the review, I've thought about picking up an 08. I don't really care about presets, just wondering how you felt about the overall sound and capabilities of it. Wish I had a decent music store around here to test one out myself.

What other synths do you guys have in your studio?

We have the usual suspects. Prophet 8, Tetra, Moog Voyager, Prophet 5, Roland MKS 80, Super JX, JX 3p, ATC-X, SE-1. We also have a rhodes MkII, Piano, and other instruments. What we really want, and we're trying to track one down is a MacBeth M5! Holy sh*t that thing is cool (at least to my ear)!

Where are you located? some music stores have a good return policy, you could order one and if you don't like it send it back...

The e is runnin out!"
