The bass sequence especially. Anyone recognize what type of synth that bass might be? So hard to know, especially w bass.

I must concur. I've always loved this track. From an interview with the fellas: "Andy McCluskey: We used lots of cheap but wonderful Korg and Roland monophonic synths for all of our early songs that had the distinctive synth melodies. We usually triple-tracked them hand played and slightly detuned to get that wide, harmonic, analog sound. I still have a soft spot for them but now prefer the soft synth plug-ins in my Protools.

Paul Humphreys: In terms of synthesizers, the first few albums were made almost entirely using a Korg Micro-Preset, Korg MS-20, Roland SH-01 and SH-2 and a Prophet 5. That was pretty much it. Adding a Mellotron, essentially a mechanical sampler, to these during the making of Architecture & Morality. As new technology appeared we always embraced it and in 1982 we discovered the incredible world of sampling when the first Emulator I emerged. That instrument alone inspired our Dazzle Ships album. Basically, 'new toys’ always provided new sonic and creative possibilities for Andy and myself. To this day, I still look for new synths, but now mainly in the virtual world of soft synths."

How to synthesise realistic string sounds

get reference material
- I used the excellent philharmonia youtube page.
They have videos of individual instruments just do a search within their channel
https://www.youtube.com/@philharmonia_orchestra

synthesis setup and signal flow

This is the basic setup for the One:

OSC 3 is sending FM to OSC1
OSC 3 is hard synced to OSC2
OSC 2 will control the overall pitch of the system

all oscs set to triangle

OSC 1 is the only oscillator in the audio mix pre filter
I send that to a self oscillating band pass filter (SVF)

the SVF also has FM from any one of the oscillators

because OSC 1 is passing through a self oscillating filter which is also being fed FM from an OSC the GAIN of OSC1 in the mixer makes a huge difference to the tone

It gets way more complex, but that's the basics.

Ronnie Foster ripping it up on the not very sought after, Moog Satellite.
Mr. Foster seems to be pitch bending, but the Satellite has no pitch bender.
He's actually playing the glide control, coordinated with his intervals on the
keyboard to get the notes to glide where he wants them.
Same synth was used on the recorded version.
Outstanding blend of technique and musicality.

Standout synth bass on this track one of my absolute favourites of 80s pop.

This is one of the 12 inch mixes from the album of the same name - all of the mixes are excellent and blend together beautifully.
