  1. I think it's indeed a cluster of high notes held in an organ of the era (usual suspect, Hammond organ, but of course there were many brands and types) - the same organ that you can hear later clearly (with added tape echo) in your audio sample. Looks like Remigio Ducros is on Bandcamp, you might want to contact him to ask which organ he used ... https://remigioducros.bandcamp.com/
  2. If you use wayback machine on the link on that youtube video, you will find out that the answer from the creator is "All music was made on the computer with software simulating the analog bass and other instruments". He doesn't specify which soft synth(s) he used, and these are generic synth sounds, so it's hard to determine the soft synth(s) used, especially because according to this link the creator of the robot passed away. I'd use any currently available subtractive-analog style soft synth, but really you can reproduce those sounds with many modern synths. If you want to stay "true" to the era of when the videos were released, then look up old, early soft synths - a few that come to mind include Reality, Synth 1, Crystal, RubberDuck, DreamStation etc. which will give you that older, "grainy" early soft synth type of sound
  3. That's not a synthesizer, it's an organ passed through tape echo effect... try a patch with the top four-five drawbars pulled out, and percussion set to 2nd harmonics - then add a tape echo effect. Should get you in the ballpark.
  4. "Everybody": BOSS DR-55 drum machine (to me it sounds like they ran it through an Eventide H910), Oberheim OB-X synthesizer (source: https://recordcollectormag.com/articles/everything-from-everybody ) "Take Me (I Want You)": (probably) Oberheim DMX drum machine, Solina String Ensemble keyboard.

  6. Hi, Rotan, I don't have a Proteus FX at the moment, and I don't think I have the sysex for it, sorry - but I do still have Proteus VX, and that patch sounds like it's a metal hit / bell / tambourine that's been pitch-shifted down a few octaves - those types of sounds were in vogue back then. So, until you find the sysex, on the Proteus VX you can probably recreate it using patches that contain similar sounds, i.e. P0897 Agogos P0900 Bells1 P0901 Bells2 P0942 Tams 1 P0943 Tams 2 and then use a free pitch-shifting program (Audacity should do it) to pitch it down, and add reverb
  7. The playing was nice, did you do that "by hand" or use an arp? A couple of times I think it strayed almost into harpsichord area, though. Still, a good sounding acoustic guitar. "by hand"... over the years I developed my own techniques to play stringed instruments... I think I can play a mean "banjo" as well LOL Better than the choir sounds I've found in the K2500 so far. load samples from a good sample CD into the K2500 and you're set... Very nicely played; I think the playing made the patch on that one. Thanks... actually that violin sample is really good - the Emulator III library was very high-quality when it came out... I swear that patch (or the Roland one) was on just about every late-night 80s cheesy "horror" show. I think they sold many MT-32s back in the '80s Sounds a little thin to me, but I am not the guy to ask about organ sounds. Yep but the typical, common "lounge" organ of the '60s wasn't the B-3, but the cheaper transistor emulations... which sound awesomely cool in their own way... Not bad for an orch patch. especially for almost 15 years ago.. Thanks for posting those. I see the Proteus units come and go on feePay and sometimes wonder whether or not they're worth the effort. I might have to pick one up. Where does the Proteus FX fall in the range of Proteus boxes, though? How does it compare to, say, a Proteus 2000 or 2500? Falls in between. Basically the Proteus FX adds the orchestral sounds from the Proteus 2, effects, improved piano sound.... whereas the Proteus 2000 and 2500 are much newer, and feature more modern sounds... I have a page for the PK-6 which basically is the ROM of the 2000, and as can hear, it improves a lot on the older Proteus line... http://www.synthmania.com/pk-6.htm -
  8. Well, I had a chance to finish a page on the Proteus FX , and since this unit has the Proteus 2 patch used by Mark Snow for the song, I thought I would post it... Wissler (used in The X-Files theme) Cool, uh? uh? Other goodies on this unit: Acoustic a jumbo acoustic guitar... realistic VoxHuman a surprisingly realistic choir Conductr an expressive violin, classic Emulator sounds echoist an analog pad from a very digital unit Rain like on the classic Roland GM set ToTheBar a cool 1960s Lounge organ PeaceOrc more orchestral goodness The full page is at http://www.synthmania.com/Proteus_FX.htm -
