Hello friends,
I try/tried to recreate the synth patch of the famous chords from Readiohead's Idioteque, which they sampled from this Paul Lansky piece.

Does any of you Bazille Experts have some suggestions or tips. Sounds like Fm to me, but the track is from 1973. Did Fm in this style already exist in 1973? Would ringmodulation be a better option? Would be great if you would share your knowledge.

Yep it is FM, it had been developped a little earlier by Chowning.

The other interesting part is the harmonic basis that comes the Tristan chord. That probably makes for the inharmonicity of the sequence

The Lansky piece was made with mix/cmix or predecessor.

Sounds like simple FM (one sin modulator and one sin carrier).
So, the difficult part is to find the right notes.
L and R channel seem to be completely different.

Thanks for the input. The notes are quite difficult to figure out. I can understand why you lost patience
So 2 operators? How do you hear this?

Some time ago I did it on Dexed, but it's far from perfect:

It needs some movement, I guess, automation on parameters.
Maybe this can help you: http://www.greenplastic.com/mortigitemp ... ue-chords/

Thanks! That definitely goes in the right direction.
I wanted to achieve the synth sound, because to me it sounds just awesome. It sounds warm but digital cold at the same time. So maybe it's just a simple 2 operator fm patch, and it's the chord progression that does the magic. I don't know. I just thought, now that's a sound you need to learn how to program it.
I more and more get the feeling that I'm really digging fm sounds. For instance i love a lot of Autechre stuff and found out that they use fm over and over. That's why I enjoy patching Bazille a lot.
