Genesis "We Can't Dance" (Virgin ©1991 - 262 082)
Tony
Banks used the Ensoniq VFX on this album (jointly with a Roland
JD-800 and a Korg WS). He replaced the VFX by a SD-1 during "The Way We Walk" tour. You
can hear the VPC-103 "FLORIDA KEY"
patch
as the "Jesus He Knows Me" (Track 2) hybrid synclav/guitar sound
introduction. This sound also appears during the "reggae feel" middle
part as a rhythmic comp:
The soft aerial choiry digital pad you can hear as a backing sound in "Driving The Last Spike" (Track 3) is the internal ROM "AMEN-CHOIR" patch:
The punchy brass section you can hear in "Fading Lights" (Track 12) is the VPC-100 "SIZZLEBRASS" patch:
Another VFX brassy sound is used as a rhythmic riff (answers to guitar) in the "Dreaming While You Sleep" song (Track 6):
ABWH "An Evening Of Yes Music Plus..." (Voiceprint ©1993)
Rick Wakeman included a VFX - with a Korg T3 and a Roland D-50 among others - in his synth set during this Yes (renamed ABWH) tour. The "Catherine Parr" (Track 4) introduction is played with a digital pluckey VFX patch:
Front 242 "Tyranny >For You<" (Red Rhino Europe ©1991 - RRE CD 11)
This
belgian techno group largely used the VFX (with samplers - certainly E-MU Emulator or Akai) on
this album. For example the orchestral background sound from "Sacrifice" (Track 1) is a VFX patch:
The low pad sound used as a sustained bassline in "Trigger 2" (Track 4) is certainly a VFX patch:
"Gripped By Fear" (Track 5) begins with a typical VFX strings section patch (bass sound is a DX7 patch):
The panned brass sound that appears after the break from "Tragedy For You" (Track 6) is also a typical VFX patch:
The dark evil low pad sound used during "Leitmotiv 136" (Track 9) is certainly a VFX patch:
