Sharkissimo 1,973 Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Starts at 4:44. It's a sequenced/gated pulse that sounds filtered.I wonder what synth it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Hill 4,233 Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Can't say for certain what was used, but I know just about every synth sound in the score can be duplicated pretty closely on the Roland JP-8000 because that was pretty much all I did for that whole year.And if you know that synth then you know I was an idiot and that was a loooong year....

Sharkissimo 1,973 Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share Posted July 27, 2014 Lol. I know the JD-8000. Horner used it on TITANIC. As far as virtual analogues go, it's pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedfud 38 Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I'd guess the sound has two components . One provides the pitched note...the other is the harmonic band pass effect...probably pre-filtered white noise. Sounds like comb filtering on top. at 4;23 you can hear what one of the components sounds like....add the bass and your away i'd sayt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had gotten it as a gift and it happened to coincide with when the film was in theaters. I was too dazzled to see that the ol' reliable DX7 would have been much better.

Thor 7,475 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Damn, I thought this was about Silvestri's Synclavier work from the 80s -- I'm a huge fan of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamTheater 131 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I know diddly squat about synthesizers but I adore the electronics he used on The Abyss. But maybe it's because they're mixed with orchestra in such inventive ways, because I'm not too much of a fan of his electronic only scores.
