Question

In his classic tune 'A Higher State of Conciousness' what is the lead instrument?

As far as I know it's a Roland TB-303 Bassline. University Challenge on the other hand claim it's a Moog Synthesiser?!

So who's right?

difficult to say ub. a decent synth (like the later Moogs) could emulate TB303's anyway. the sound seems to have too much complexity for a TB303.

the hi-hats definately a TR909 though but you knew that anyway.

have you tried steinberg's rebirth?

Cool

Yea, you may be right, but I don't think it sounds like a Moog - which one anyway? There are loads.

It's when it goes right up high it sounds most 303ish. never heard a Moog do that, but I suppose it could. Could be a Novation Bass Station maybe??

Yep, I've played with Rebirth - quite cool but I have an MC-303 Groovebox which *is* cool Best 125 quid I ever spent

Yep, that's certainly what I had always assumed.

Time to inform the BBC then...

hmm..

A music forum I read thinks different... but still Roland gear of the same era

"I was always pretty convinced it was a 303, but a little look about the web suggests it was actually the 303's little brother, the MC-202"

Either way University Challenge is wrong

Was a TB 303
202 has different filters and stuff.
I did actually read an interview with Josh and he stated it was a 303- he has about 4 of them.

oh boy... we have controversy here...

check out: this

Down at the bottom "Josh Wink - used it (MC-202)to create that "tweeking" sound in the acid classic "Higher State of Consciousness". "
