well, I still think that the synth patch on these both youtube clips comes from the exact same source. that is, a preset or something, on the stuff they used. and no, its no modular synth. no its not beefy analog. because most of the stuff used were on the cheap side. or gotten cheap. . Im thinking this would be some kind of sampler patch or something in that direction. ,, surely someone has dug into this before. listen to the clips again, name that synth ,, thats what controlling my brain atm.

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 ;-)
