Synths Used in the original Terminator Soundtrack


via Micke on the AH list:

"here's a gear list for the original Terminator score (1984):

Oberheim system (OB-Xa, DMX and DSX)
Emulator I
Prophet 10 (used for the metallic heartbeat sounds when Arnie's on screen)
Kawai grand piano
electric violin (played by Ross Levinson)
And last but not least, the cast iron frying pan hit with a hammer

I was told by Brad Fiedel that one of the challenges was keeping the prophet sequences and the Oberheim in sync as they were not connected by midi at that time.

The Fairlight CMI III debuted on Terminator 2"
