(not certain if this should go in Hardware or Production Techniques, but I'm assuming likely Hardware so here it is. Mods, please feel free to move if this is not the place.

)

Can anyone identify/guess what synth(s) may be in use here? I'm not at all and never have been a hardware synth guy so I'm totally in the dark.

I couldn't find a YT vid of the opening track but it's the first minute and a half of this vid here. The other incidental music is similar. It's only the (in?)famous end credit 'whistling' song that goes a good bit farther afield.

The strings and brass in the opening credits is what's of most interest to me.

I found a thread on GearSlutz concerning this from about two years ago and someone posted the guy's kit on a soundtrack recorded the same year, but I'm not certain how that may or may not give answers to this.
Perhaps I'm wrong but it seems to me that folks far more familiar with hardware than I may recognize certain characters of this or that synth in the first minute or two of this vid.

So...yeah...here's hoping. Cheers!

Yeah. That's the thread I came across that I mentioned in my OP.

Based on that Gearslutz thread, I'd say he had every synth available on the market at the time, used every one of them in his recordings, layered multiple of them together, and ran it all through effects. Short of asking him personally, I don't think you stand much of a chance of getting an accurate answer. Great soundtrack though, and one of my favorite movies.

I just replied on the Gearslutz thread, old as it may be.

For the Team March I use the FM8 softsynth from Native Instruments.
Whistle/ocarina : Syn Vox patch
Outro piano: Soft Rhodes patch
