Was the FM bass on Michael Jackson's Another Part of Me a stock DX-7 patch?

Are Fairlight samples still available somewhere? I'm looking for this specific bass sample for something I'm working on. I've heard it in a million songs, but here's where it can be heard clearly. At least I'm pretty sure it's a Fairlight sample. http://youtu.be/M0b1tdAfW2I

I don't think he used an E-mu but hell, the M1 is close enough if I can't dig up something in that Fairlight pack, thanks.

Weird BIAS posted:If I wanted to gain as much information about the synths, keyboards, recording tricks, effects that Electric Light Orchestra used, is there a resource or book or anything I can refer to? Are you trying to get the, uh, "signature Jeff Lynne sound" (COMPRESS EVERYTHING! LIMIT EVERYTHING! MORE ACOUSTIC GUITARS!!!) or looking for info on ELO in general?

Ah! Okay, that's one of my favorite albums so now I want to do some research too. Off the top of my head and with a quick search: Jeff Lynne liked to room mic the biggest bass drum he could find. The drums (and everything else, really) had some combination of heavy compression, limiting, and gated reverb. He was a big fan of the UA 1176 limiter. The main synthesizers on Time were the CS-80 and OB-X. According to Richard Tandy, they also used the Wurlitzer EP200, a Clavinet, and Concert Spectrum for specific sounds. Twilight was mostly OB-X. The sweeping synth rhythm on Here Is the News was a CS-80 with a ring modulator. Jeff is credited with playing a Moog in general, either a multitracked Minimoog or a Polymoog. The vocoder was probably the Roland VP-330. He'd layer lots and lots of 6-string and 12-string acoustic guitars together. Strumming up on chords, strumming down on chords, strumming rhythms, he'd just sit around and add overdubs to any tracks he could.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:Jeff Lynne is the 80s-based Billy Corgan, except a nicer person He said in an interview that growing up he had a 2-track tape recorder. He'd play something on the left channel and dub it to the right channel. He'd do whole songs like this with so many overdubs he'd wear out the tape. The man loves his overdubs.

I remember matching up a lot of Mario 64 samples with the Korg M1 library, including its version of the vocal Doo. You might be able to find a copy of Super Mario Sunshine's MIDI sample library online, people like to rip things from those games.

Yeah, I've got the VST and the Gadget version of M1 and they're so hard to use and manipulate patches on. But the Pan Flute is like, peak 1990s and I love it so. I haven't figured out the Wavestation VST yet.
