Members selfinflikted Posted November 14, 2012 Members Share Posted November 14, 2012 Wasn't the Jupiter responsible for that synth line from Prince's 1999 also? Also, dunno which synth it was, but the opening riff from "Seperate Ways" by Journey is easily recognizable, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MikeyParent Posted November 14, 2012 Members Share Posted November 14, 2012 Freeze it there - the branding is all covered up but unless they only used it because it looked cool, def a Jupiter 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't the Jupiter also the synth from the Thriller intro?ETA: No youtoobs at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Journey definitely used a Jupiter 8 on Frontiers. Originally Posted by selfinflikted Well, damn. I thought the DX-7 was supposed to be THE sound of the 80's but I think the Jupiter is coming in a very close second. Well, why not take a song with *both*? (Harold Faltermeyer - Axel F. Jupiter is the main riff, DX7 does the bell and marimba. Moog modular for bass per Wiki.)Thriller (the album) used all the top notch gear of 1982 they could find, but they seemed to adore the Jupiter as well. Probably the opening was the Jupiter (though who can tell the difference between various poly sawtooth pads?), but a GS post indicates the "pipe organ" was Synclavier and the bass Minimoog.The DX7 was made in 1983, so obviously it's not the "sound of the 1980s" on any song made before then.

Members zoink Posted November 14, 2012 Members Share Posted November 14, 2012 The D50 was definitely the sound of the late 80s. At one point (1988 or so) a significant percentage of all top 40 hits featured D50 presets prominently.D50 Famous Exampleshttp://www.synthmania.com/d-50.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. I really only figured it was a Minimoog lead because it's part of the Mox Vintage keys; the brochure that comes with it says that it was a triple oscillator Minimoog lead.

Members wwwjd Posted November 14, 2012 Members Share Posted November 14, 2012 yer post confuses me.... first line says "LINE" (singular), the next same question says "lineS" plural. Very different. I always thought the ONE most singularly known synth riff was ELP "Lucky Man" the synthy synth to end all synths, first middle and last example of oldest best known syntheism. But I could be wrong. Now, if you mean PLURALLY, that means maybe the most uses that are most obvious? In the old days, I guess it was Moog, but then the Juppy and D50 and DX7 kinda took over. I think the mostests useageness fully depends on the era you pick: 80's maybe jupey, 90's I dunno... Dx7 D50? Jump is well know but I'm thinking Lucky Man for the crown. ?? maybe not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I could be wrong... Not wrong by me. Not too many people cared about or wanted anything 'synth' until Lucky Man. Then all of a sudden, everyone wanted a Moog.

Members Synthaholic Posted November 15, 2012 Members Share Posted November 15, 2012 The synth line hook on "Just What I Needed", by The Cars. Don't know what produced it. Also, their theme sync line on "Let's Go". The string synth of "Sweet Dreams" by Eurythmics The break/synth solo in "Blinded Me With Science", by Thomas Dolby "Situation" - Yaz "Never Been Any Reason" - Head East "While You See a Chance" - Steve Winwood (Sequential Circuits Prophet 5?) Some honorable mentions: "Doctor, Doctor" - Thompson Twins "Call Me" - Go West Synth Bass of "You Are In My System" - Robert Palmer and The System and the Synth Bass of "Don't Disturb This Groove", by The System Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
