synth to get these sounds

[functionform]

Just send Cliff an email or a tweet and ask him. You'd be surprised how often that works.

Yes, it is a Crystal Baschet which has been used by Cliff for Drive:

Budding film score composers, take note: Martinez uses software synths like Omnisphere and u-he, arranging in Ableton Live, but calls himself a preset guy. However, you probably don't own a gamelan metallophone or 17 baritone steel drums from Trinidad—the latter of which are prominently featured on the "Solaris" soundtrack

I asked Cliff this very question not three days ago. I knew that at one point his one and only synth was a Studio Electronics SE-1, and I asked him if he had used it on Contagion. He told me that the SE-1 had been gathering dust for months and had finally been unscrewed from the rack, and that the synths on Contagion were basically just Omnisphere, Trillian, and U-He Zebra - which surprised me.

For me, it's almost all software synthesizers, and there are patches that I make which are software emulations of vintage synthesizers from the 70s, like the ARP 2600, there's a software version of that.

I don't know if a listener can notice the contrast. A big difference from Drive for example, because that's also inspired by vintage software emulations of synthesizers from the 80s. But we tried to find stuff from the 70s, really early synthesis, in software form. I didn't pick up too many acoustic instruments, in fact, I don't think I used any for Neon Demon. It's almost all synthesizer.

CM: There were a couple of vintage software synthesizers that I was enamoured of. One was a software emulation of the Roland Super Jupiter, and another one was the ARP 2600, so I was trying to get a kind of old-fashioned '70s synthesizer sound.

Omnisphere, Trillian, and U-He Zebra (plus just "U-He") are named, the 3rd and 4th link sound like Arturia stuff to me.

Some other stuff, though not exactly a neutral source (he does like that Baschet Cristal):

There are a number of pieces in the show that are almost exclusively AEON.

You want synth to program or synth that got presets like that?

I think due to the turnaround on need to complete something...presets.

In that case:

I have Zebra 2 and these guys seem to have some perfect stuff. Thanks

Awesome.

Will get you there.
