One of my favorite 80s songs ever
Alphaville - Forever Young (1984)

I used the Roland JX-3P for all synth pads (in original Jupiter-8).
The JX-3p is the best synth in my opinion for classic JP-8 sounds. Nearly identical sound.
I used the Logan String Melody 2 for all analog string sounds.
The add digital sounds are played with the PPG wave 2.2 synthesizer and the solo sound at the end of the track with the ARP Odyssey Mk.3
Drums are LinnDrum, Simmons, Samples

The Roland JX-3P Synthesizer from the year 1983 is a fantastic analog synth with the typical 80s sound. Here can you find the full JX-3P playlist with single sound demos and one synth demo tracks. Enjoy.

A LM-1 LinnDrum (PRINCE KNOCK) inside a Sequential Circuits DrumTraks

video upload by Program 17

"After 25 years I figured out how to get a DrumTraks to sound like a LM-1 Drum Computer. I program binary files. And I realized you have to take the LM-1 Snare/Rim Eprom and put it inside the Clap Slot.
a lot of people been asking me to do this to there machines. you can email me at going.up.up.up.up@gmail.com for further info.

thx for all your support

Linn LM-1 from Giorgio Moroder?

via this auction

According to the listing:

"This device comes from California, more precisely from Giorgio Moroder! Yes, you read correctly, the one and only who brought you hits like “I feel love” by Donna Summer, “Together in Electric Dreams” by the former Human League singer and many, many more. The condition of this machine is criminal, it belongs in a museum, it’s that clean! Yes, you have been looking for samples and VST plugins for years, but you could never find a good copy of this machine. Now you have the chance to own this mythical beast. We know that once you own this machine, you won’t let it go. This has been proven by everyone who has held it once. No matter the price, people just don’t want to give it up! Even I myself had to kind of let it go. This machine has some very nice upgrades like additional sound banks and a new modern battery replacement. All the sliders and knobs have been cleaned up. Amazing sounding and a danger to the wallet, but worth every penny. Not only do you get a beast, you get a great investment. There are not many of these left in this world. Will you be the lucky owner of this historical machine?"

Synth excerpt from Always Rivalled (@No Man's Island)

video upload by Rune Flobakk

"Small excerpt from a new song, Always Rivalled, I am performing with my band @No Man's Island . Wanted to test out my recently acquired LinnDrum, and perform a multitrack one-take by routing the individual outs from the drum machine through a (also recently acquired) @Erica Synths Matrix Mixer, in order to flexibly assign drums to their own input channels. The polysynth parts are played on an Oberheim Matrix-12, and the bass on a John Bowen Solaris. All sounds and effects is generated 'outside the box' (not using any plugins), and only some mixing levelling and EQ is done post-recording.

The pink pedal you get a glimpse of in the beginning is a @Poly Effects Beebo, which I also use for live playing. Recording is done with an Allen & Heath Qu-16 into Logic on Mac.

The full song also includes vocals, guitars, electric bass, and drums."

Additional Tone Tweakers Listings, also on Reverb

"This unit was fully refurbished over dozens of hours and is performing exactly as it should, unlike most - no excuses here! In additional to our usual extensive overhaul, this one's got newly fabricated fader pcbs with brand new flawlessly functioning faders. Why? Well, most Linndrum faders have at least some degree of wear and tear after decades of use that results in glitchy behavior, even after proper cleaning. There were no drop in fader replacements for these faders, so we had new circuit boards designed to accommodate brand new faders. This was a serious pain and something that we don’t believe any other sellers have invested in. The results are perfectly working faders, free of crackle and dropouts, and a Linn you can actually use without trying to find workarounds. You won't find a better working one out there, and this and the value of the time we invested is reflected in its significantly higher than usual price. Note that the strip that normally contains labels for the jacks on the bottom of the back panel is missing from this unit - this is how we got it. Also, the original knobs have been replaced with new ones that we think look pretty cool."
