This guy posted 12/3/00 and still no one has responded until now. Just thought I give him some love.

 

Steve George used Yamaha DX7, TX816, Oberheim Xpander and Emulator II a lot.

That´s what I remember from the past.

Can be he also used a KX88 for the TX816.

OTOH, Mr.Mister was founded already in 1982 as a successor of "Pages" and he was a session artist,- so I assume he used more and earlier gear in general too.

does anyone know what keyboard and patch were used on the song by mr. mister / kyrie

 

Nord Lead. :thu:

 

Surprise.

Mr.Mister broke 1990 and Nord Lead appeared 1995.

 

Well, much can be done w/ a Nord Lead but Steve George´s top keyboard was mostly, if not always, a DX7 and later a DX7mk II.

There´s also a vid showing another keyboard live which I´d identify as a Emax or EIII keyboard sampler as one of the top boards.

Anyway,- on all the Mr.Mister records, there are 6 OP FM, analogue subtractive sounds and EMU samples all over.

Tons of stacked patches, as always in the 80th.

I thought it was a Kronos.

A ROMpler is just a polyphonic turntable.

I've had these damned broken wings since the 80s and still haven't learned to fly again.

a little OT, but.... I remember reading an interview with Pat Mastelotto (their drummer) about getting to know Bruford when he played with him in King Crimson. Bruford had never heard of Mr Mister or Broken Wings or Kyrie.

 

That must have been delightfully humbling- to have been in a band with that kinda success & then meet what I'm guessing may have been a childhood idol & have the guy be totally oblivious to you & your contributions to music. I'm sure he took it in stride. I mean, c'mon.... how often do ya get to jam with Bill Bruford? :)

All of Oscar Peterson's solos were done on a Nord Lead as well.

It's a little known fact that Louis Armstrong played a Nord Lead.

That's incorrect. I've been to his apartment in Queens. He actually played a DX7.

As did Bela Bartok. One of his most famous pieces is called "Music for Strings, Percussion and Nord Lead".

Now you're just getting silly.

 

Well done. :)

Pops had one product he endorsed. It wasn't gear of any kind.

Their guitar player was a badass player. Mr Mister was pretty good when I saw them live.

O.k., I agree.

Dave might be able to delete it,- I can´t find a way to do it.
