I think that I'd classify that as an analog string sound, which I'd try to approximate using pulse width modification of a square wave, then run it into a chorus + reverb. I don't think that Neil was borrowing Jeff's synth. They both used similar sounds and then did similar (but not the same) sort of pitch bending action.
It's a case of form following function. They both needed a string synth sound, and both being Detroit dudes, they both gravitated towards the same kind of sound. Now that I've done my forensic analysis I must say that I really love both pieces, and when I listen to them, normally, I'm not trying to recreate their patches on my Jupiter 6 ;-) On Mon, Jul 12, 2010 at 8:14 AM, Daniel Troberg <erasemu...@gmail.com> wrote: > what In g*ds name is that patch ?? the pitching string sound, , or did neil > just borrow jeffs synth ?? its eeerie ,,, > > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4nWhISpc4E&feature=related > > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppJPQ3xsKWI >
