Early 90's Synth Bell sound

Postby Venatt » 11 Dec 2019, 04:15

This synth bell sound at seconds :07 & :08 from this 1990 song Bad of the Heart / George Lamond has always called my attention because it sounds so powerful. I've trying to find out what keyboard they used but I just can't figured it to out. I went over all presets of the Roland D50 was wells as ROM Cards 00 and 04. I went over all the presets of the Korg M1 and it is also not there. Maybe is on one of the M1 ROM Cards or the other D50 Rom Cards but I really don't think so. Could it be the wavestation ? Can anyone guess ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2s4qsyr7aA

Sounds like combination of keyboards for the song, but the synth bell I think is a DX7II. Here's a link that works in U.S. Take care.

The first bell is absolutely the D50, but the one you're talking about sounds a lot like the M1. I've got the Korg VST version and I swear I've heard a sound like that.

Sorry to bring back this topic again but I seem to have discovered what synth made this bell sound and it seems to have been not the D50, DX7, M1, or Wavestation but it was actually the D70 which I had not though about. On minute 7:50 of this video you can hear the patch which sounds almost identical and I would say that with a little tweaking you have it, D70 came out in 1990, same year as that song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_Rl-Vejiuk
