Alan Parsons' Keyboards and Synthesizers

Hide incorrect submissions

"Keyboards and synths have always played a huge role in Alan’s music, and many Motif sounds are essential to performing his classic hits with the Alan Parsons Live Project, as he proceeded to sit at the Motif XS to demonstrate. He punched up the factory patch Nu Phasing, telling us “This is the Clav sound I use on ‘I Robot.’” Switching to Sweet Flute, he said, “Here’s a sort of signature sound from ‘Pyschobabble’ off of Eye in the Sky,” then played the 12-note chiff flute riff that famously answers the vocal. Of course, his biggest hit was that same album’s title track, led off by Wurlizter electric piano chords. “On the record, of course, it was an actual Wurlitzer, but the sound in the Motif is virtually indistinguishable.”"

''Peter Vogel brought an early CMI to the UK in person, and one of the first people to get one was Peter Gabriel. Once UK distributor Syco Systems had been set up, the client list started to grow. John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin) bought the first as a replacement for his Mellotron. He was soon followed by Kate Bush, Thomas Dolby, Geoff Downes, Queen, Keith Emerson, Alan Parsons, Stuart Copeland, JJ of Art of Noise, Trevor Horn and Frankie Goes To Hollywood, and many others''
