Published on Feb 28, 2017 DX5

Mid: Roland JP-8000

Backtrack played on a Revox B77 MkII with BASF tape.

* There is a "flutter" effect, noticeable at the beginning, due to Revox mechanical limitations (I tried to dump the backtrack on two different units with the same results)"

"Gear used:
Roland JP8000
Emu Emax II
Kurzweil PC1x.

For those curious, the droplet sound was synthesized on the JP8000. It is a noise that has to do with the filter resonance (and the JP's noise waveform ;)

All sounds (*unless stated): Yamaha DX7.
Bassline synth: Roland Promars MRS-2
Drumbox: Boss DR55 (sampled)

Backtrack recorded on a Revox B77 MkII.
