How'd you get:
the snare hits at the end of track 4 of Chicken, and
the bass on track 5?
Synth?

Just noticed - I put this in the wrong forum. Never mind... heart's in the right place.

And the piano sound, too, right? The whole thing was done on a synth?

Percussion at the end of track 4 was drawn in with CW piano roll view. Bass on track 5 is a blend of acoustic bass and fretless bass
mixed heavier toward the stand-up- I think. I can't find the original .wrk file still on my HD. But I also use an organ to play the bass line at some point. Every last sound is from the SC-88, pretty much stock.

(Grin) yore speakin' in a foreign tongue, pardner. Roland SC-88, $854. Do you *need* one of these to make the synth work? Don't synths come loaded with sounds built-in?

You might find an SC-55 for less. Most of the same sounds. Yamaha also makes a nice Module.
I've seen one from Kawai that wasn't too bad.
My guess is that they'll be evolving toward a digital output with 24 bit samples. The Roland sounds aren't that special, and for many kinds of music they sound stodgy. But they seem to fit my brand of music. But maybe I didn't understand your question. The SC-88 is a synth that's loaded with the sound samples in ROM. I've seen them for $400.

If you don't understand my question, it's because I don't understand this gear and I'm asking the wrong questions. I surfed up a site advertising the Roland SC-88. It had a picture of one - a box with buttons to push mostly. I thought: $850 is a lot to pay for something you can't actually *play* (I was expecting a keyboard - I thought synthesizers were keyboards that produced electronic sounds). So, the SC-88 is a synth, and you patch it into a keyboard to make it go?
