[sdiy] sync sound (Jupiter 8) & Spliff

[Czech Martin]

In the 80s there was a band called "Spliff" in Germany, maybe also known
in Austria. (they first came up as "Nina Hagen Band", then
"Spliff Radio Show"). They only had two hits "Carbonara", "Das Blech"
which went to gold. They were too much ahead of their time, that's why.

They had strange lyrics but (my opinion) excelent keyboard
sound (Reinhold Heil), well, the other instruments were also very
good recorded/engineered. Brilliant productions.

Anyway, the track "Damals" has a very interesting
sync sound (that is: I think that it must be sync).
I can only describe it as octave flipping, the tone starts
lower and then turns into the octave above, and maybe even higher.
Such effects may be also obtained via electro acoustic feedback
with a guitar/amplifier.

I think it was made with a Jupiter 8.
I've been never able to synthesize this sound since it is very hard to
analyse for me, so I can not guess into the right direction.

Perhaps there are some "sync" experienced people on this list,
that could give me a hint. I realize that most people on the list
don't know what I'm talking about.
