Hello, this might be a daft question, but I was wondering what sort of synthesizer might have been used on SAW II, on songs like Lichen, Rhubard, Stone in Focus, etc... my hunch is a Roland SH-101, though don't know if that's correct. Also I heard that Squarepusher used this synth a lot, and I'm wondering if that's the sound on songs like Tommib and Tommib Help Buss. Thanks for your time and cheers-- Jordan |

edit: misspelled 'Rhubarb' |

Rhubarb is my favorite track on there. However, those actually arent synths he is using on the album. It seems RDJ managed to figure how to bottle and save all the prayers and wishes of everyone who looks at porno on the internet. The sound you are hearing is him actually taking a field trip to the Mississippi bayou and releasing these bottled thoughts out into crocodile infested waters. That and licorice. He uses licorice on there too. |

hi jasnik, there'll actually be some people with the ability to give a straight answer. there aren't many, so you just have to be patient for a bit. |

We've had a discussion about the SAWII equipment before, and most of us concluded a lot of it was digital. Dunno if that helps. |

lol, bottled thoughts / crocodiles was my next guess, it was between that and the Roland. |

Nope, not many 101-type sounds on there at all and the 101 isn't very good at pads (which is what SAW2 is, mainly) at all. As futureimage says, the previous consenus was that it sounds like early digital synths. |

Thank you, that is interesting to hear... I guess I was projecting more onto the SH 101 than it actually was. |

The SH-101 is good for basslines, corny sci-fi sound effects, and acidy type stuff. BoC used a pair of them an awful lot in their earlier work. |

welcome to the board jasnik, yes SAWII is the beat- |

Wouldn't be suprised if there's some degree of Yamaha DX... |
||||||||

Hmmm, that's interesting (about the DX). A friend of mine was trying to approximate the sound of Squarepusher's "Tommib" on a Yamaha RS-7000 and I was trying to create some sort of ambient music with the same synth but it didn't seem to have either the warmth or sharpness that I was looking for (which is why I thought maybe the 101 was what the sound was), but it's interesting to hear about an older model... reading about one it sounds expensive, though! I wonder if some of the later models of the DX sound as good as the DX1. Cheers, Jordan |

I think alot of the time there is a digital synth involved, or perhaps one of the higher polyphonic Roland Jupiter or Junos. But then i think alot of it is to do with external filtering and effects. I think the Roland Space Echo, which is deffinatley used on SAWII, adds certain textures and compression to the input sound. |

Hmmm, I went back and read a previous thread on this topic, didn't realize that it had been so exhausted... in a more general question, has anyone tried using the Oberheim Matrix 1000 rack-mounted synth? I wonder if it matches the sound of the Matrix 6 or 12. Cheers, Jordan |
