Before you ask, Tuomas, that means "Owned" in internet speak.

Before you ask, Tuomas, "Owned" means "Just Got Served" in internet speak.

Before you ask, Tuomas, "Just Got Served" means "You have been shown to have made an error and shamed accordingly" in American.

Clarification is a slippery slope.

Tuomas sonned in ILX beef?

Any album/single released between 1983-84 and roughly 1990 and using synths at all would use the DX7.

Jesus Christ! I don't know what's more impressive - Startrekman's tenacity or Curt1s' taking the time to corral all those threads in one place. Either way, I just sit here and marvel. "There but for the grace of..." etc.

The drum boxen I'm not too sure of. wasn't there a simpler version of the LM-1 just called the linndrum, or something? The Linn-9000 played back samples anyway, so might be hard to ID

These Particular Keyboards

Oberheim OB-Family (The Ob-X, Ob-Xa, Ob-8)
Yamaha CS-Family( Cs-80, CS-90 and so on)
Roland Jupiter Family ( jupiter-6, jupiter-8)
The Yamaha DX-7
And lets not forget...The Prophet 5

Oberheim:
Pallas "The Sentinel"
Van Halen "Jump"
The first few Killing Joke records

CS80, Brian Eno "Before & After Science" & "Another Green World"
Jup8 Duran Duran "Rio", Simple Minds "New Gold Dream"

DX7 Ian Boddy "Spirits", any mid '80's club hit w/that terrible electric piano & slap bass sound.

Synthesisers def. aren't as thrilling as they were back then.

I should own up to being a complete synth geek, and that list of startrekman's threads includes some of my favourite ILM threads ever.

You've seen this:

http://www.davesmithinstruments.com/other/prophet08.htm

...I presume?

2,000 dollars, all analog signal path, should be available in 2-3 weeks, apparently.

oh my god, are all of those threads started by startrekman???

The wealth of actual answers in this thread really proves how common knowledge all this gear is.

I like to imagine that a parallel universe exists, with a website called "I Love Sci-fi", and some guy calling himself "Prophet5man" starts about 90 threads asking things like "What model phaser did Captain Picard take with him to Rigel-VIII in Episode 44?

Oh man that Prophet looks SO HOT.

how bout a "what kind of pulse rifle did the Aliens' Space Marines used when they went to LV-451" or "What model and rev of power loader did ripley use to fight the alien queen"
