My Comments
A very good emulation of certain sounds used by Vangelis in "Chariots Of Fire"
Different, characteristic synth bass with lots of fizz
Otherworldly pad
Incredibly powerful mono-lead, with plenty, plenty of expressivity thanks to ribbon
and pitch bender
A very nice split featuring two very useful dancey sounds
Superbly analog - charming filtered ana-strings.
--
Extraordinary sound effect that truly reminds of iced columns in a parallel
dimension.
Typical '70s "progressive band" sound - very Emerson, Lake & Palmer.
Exquisite trancey pad with a lovely, soft arpeggiated line in the background.
Inspired by Roland's own classic rackmount, the
Not quite as cutting as the 303 can be, this is a good emulation.
Splendid mega-pad, absolutely majestic and full.
Classic sound fx inspired by the EMS Synthi AKS...
Gorgeous and excellently crafted performance - perfect for new age, soundtracks
The Moog Minimoog needs no introduction, and this is a tribute to it.
Brian Eno ("E-know") often used these types of ethereal, cold and spacey sounds in
his compositions.
Classic analog brass.
Note how incredibly powerful this synth engine is... massive lows, detailed highs,
quality effects...
Simply stunning. This truly sounds analog, and it's reminiscent of Tomita.
The 8000 can do Rhodes of course...
Pretty and classic mid 1980s setup, very British Synth Pop
Accurate synthesized didgeridoo - very expressive thanks to the ribbon controller.
Nice pulsating pad
More good stuff from the '80s!
