The only "attack" (which isn't even attack, but rather an educated and accurate observation) here is that you blatantly stole the lead from Petter's "Some Polyphony".


I'm really not trying to be argumentative but I honestly hadn't heard the track until today. If the parts are similar it's coincidence. Personally I don't hear it, the progressions are different and not even in the same key. I admit the lead sounds are similar but Deadmau5 has used similar sounds for leads a lot and so have a ton of other artists. It's not an uncommon sound or time signature.

Hey, I was looking at the Roland JX synths just now and was wondering if the editing is all done through the buttons and the menu rather than any knobs or sliders? Is that tedious or do you find it fairly intuitive?

Also, have you used the Juno 106 / 6 / 60 line, and if so were they any good? I found a few of those at reasonable prices on EBay recently.

Well, if someone writes something that derogatory and stupid they can only expect an equally derogatory response.

Wow there seems to be a lot of people that want to attack me on here who've never met me and then attack me again for defending my position. Seems like a lot of player haters to me...

The JX line are all a nightmare to program without the optional PG800 programmer for the JX 8p, MKS 70 and Super JX (I think it's the PG800, double check me). The JX 3p uses the PG200. The presets are pretty cool, but obviously you want the programmer. However I like the sound of these synths a lot!

As for the Juno 106 it's very cool sounding synth, a classic, and easy to program with the built in sliders but the DCOs will distort if the VCA is set wrong. The Juno 60 and 6 are similar. The 6 has no patch memory storage but might have VCOs instead of DCOs (Check VSE). The 60 has DCOs and patch memory storage but no midi. However I've heard some people claim that the 60 sounds better than the 106. That may just be folklore, I don't hear much of a difference myself.

Bang for the buck I'd get a Juno 106. Only drawback is the voice chips do tend to go out, which is annoying... and they're getting harder and harder to get.

Cheers,

According to VSE they are all DCOs.

Maybe I'm a bit odd but I hardly ever keep patches saved unless I'm working on a specific track, so memory doesn't matter that much to me. I have been looking at all three of the Junos lately and thinking about snapping one up because some of my favorite artists have used them and I like what I hear on demos.

Yeah I remember Joel (Deadmau5) mentioning that a while ago in the production forum. That's what sucks about these old synths, but I'm willing to put up with it for the sound!

Thanks for all the info, sorry to talk your ear off with all these questions. :)

While your here (and I know it's not technically your project), what's going on with the Andain album?

About the music, it does sound quite like Some Polyphony. I think the chord progression sounds similar, though not exact.

I'd still venture it is a coincidence. Kinda like Purple Haze - Eden probably coincidentally sounds like The Sky Was Pink. I doubt Doorn drew inspiration from Fake, though I could be wrong.
