Yeah the DX7 and Roland D50 basically shaped the 80s keyboard sound, everybody used the DX7 and Enya used the D50 quite extensively.. I'm impressed by the EMU Emulator II, when it came out it was as expensive as a car, but that keyboard just produces a full luscious sound even modern gear will have a hard time replicating, floppy disks FTW, that keyboard was also featured in the movie 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off'

Great stuff - enjoyed all of those. The Kate Bush one was fascinating. Seeing it as a backing track it becomes apparent, once the intro is over, how much of that song's charm and power comes from Kate herself - it's very minimal, instrumentally speaking, on the verses.

The Prophet-5 is so lush. I think it’s my favorite synth of the bunch, maybe only second to the OB-X. I mean, “Jump” is forever my favorite synth line!

@GlenBerry Жыл бұрын

Of course, there's nothing to stop you from playing "Jump" on a Prophet-5. It might sound a tiny bit different, but it's still "Jump" and it still sounds good. 🙂 Also, Eddie picked the very first preset on the OB-X. It was literally the first thing he had handy, and he turned that sound into a hit song. If he just happened to have had a Prophet-5 handy that day instead of the OB-X, he could easily have made a hit with that as well.
