Members sevensinner Posted April 10, 2006 Members Share Posted April 10, 2006 Okay folks, I hope this is an easy question because Google and Search didn't yield the answer, but what was the synth used in Bruce Springsteen's Born In The USA? They were playing that on the radio and that keyboard riff plays throughout the song... so damn catchy. For some reason I kind of got the feeling the DJ didn't realize that the song isn't exactly a patriotic one.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members eric Posted April 10, 2006 Members Share Posted April 10, 2006 I need to read the interview again with Roy from 1986, but I'm pretty sure it was a combination of Yamaha CS80 and also some DX7. Regards,Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gdh Posted April 10, 2006 Members Share Posted April 10, 2006 I thought it was a Kurzweil 250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members elsongs Posted April 10, 2006 Members Share Posted April 10, 2006 Originally posted by gdh I thought it was a Kurzweil 250. The K250 was a rompler...(one of the first). It definitely has an FM sound to it. Kind of like an edited version of the DX7 PERC SYNTH 2 (#3A on the ROM4 cartridge). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Meatball Fulton Posted April 10, 2006 Members Share Posted April 10, 2006 Photos/videos of the band at the time show DX7s in use by both Roy Bittan and Danny Federici. It may have been layered with something else of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
