Jobson / UK

2007-10-10 by tvphobic

I'm interested in talking / chatting / corresponding with folks about
the synthesis aspect of Eddie Jobson's work with UK, especially the
first album, as subsequently he seemed to be making a "right turn"
toward the Hammond (which he played quite serviceably)  His CS-80 work
made a big dent in my noggin and I probably wouldn't have gotten into
electronic keyboards if I hadn't heard it. 

One question that is bugging me right now is that the fast-attack
string sound which Eddie is using to play the main signature theme of
"In the Dead of Night."  It's clearly a layered part because he never
came anywhere near it on the live recordings.  Any notion as to what
the components of the layer are?  I think a jumping off point is
"String 2" but both banks on such a patch don't yield much of what he got.

Thanks
