Joyrex Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Don't know the synths, but anything from the BBC Radiophonic Workshop from the 70's and 80's Of course, anything from the famous Yamaha CS-80: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragnar Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 unrelated kind of but i found this while looking for a commercial but yeah 90's sounds interest me more since i was infant during the 80s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4kpEmQ6Xcg HEY WE HAVE A SAMPLER AND IT'S STILL COOL/FRESH CAUSE IT'S THE 90s BEFORE VSNARES SAMPLED EVERYTHING EVER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ragnar Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 let's agree that this is the worst imitation/homage to the 80s ever. esp that 'rad' synth riff at 2:10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chim Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQLKgyYrfH4 Yeah that's the one. That sound in 'Owner of a Lonely Heart', you know the one. That's literally a pitch enveloped orch5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fumi Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 The sample of a Japanese Shakuhachi must be the most clichéd sound in 80s music. Here's who's used it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakuhachi#Synthesized_shakuhachi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modey Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Every single synth sound on Dire Straits' album Brothers In Arms. Perfection. especially that big dx7 bass hit on this track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVdB-UKfxD4 and yes the shakuhachi sound was also used on that album :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auxien Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I've only got two general contributions that for some reason none of you slackers has said: gated & heavily-reverbed snares, and cheesy, rich saxophone hooks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haste Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Every single synth sound on Dire Straits' album Brothers In Arms. Perfection. Yes! That intro sound on the song 'Brothers in Arms' and actually the organ solo near the end (hammond?). Semi-related, I came across this video today and it reminds me of something any one of my bands would have done in the early 90s - take an 80s cover-song (pre-irony) and really rock it up.

chenGOD Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 My favourites in action. I miss my M1. Lol the very first track I ever made with it I fucked with the timing at the start and didn't know what I was doing so couldn't fix it. Also it was great fun to use sitting in a caravan in Cornwall.

Joyrex Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 The synth line in Depeche Mode's "Policy of Truth": And who can forget "Enjoy the Silence" (although my favourite part of this song is Gore's guitar): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
