- and if anyone could tell me specifically what plays the lead melody that comes in around 0:50, it'd be much appreciated

Mainly interested in the crazy leads where they use a lot of modulation (the lead in the Cherrelle tune) and the bass sounds. If anyone could shed some light on what was used and maybe how to get these sounds on a software synth, that'd be great.

Cheers

The Omnisphere moog add-on is pretty spot on.

get a roland jupiter8 and you can do anything, this includes flying through space.

dx7, jupiter 8, roland juno, memorymoog.

dx7 you can get used for a few hundred bucks. the others will cost you.

Its a rompler but...

All presets are carefully selected from the Arturia Classic Synths (minimoog V, Moog Modular V, CS-80V, ARP 2600 V, Prophet V, Prophet VS and Jupiter-8V). These TAE® powered sounds offer unparalleled audio quality.

DX7 typifies the 80's sound but programming them is LONG.

Arturia is one of the worst CPU hogs I've ever seen.

the synths are (but they're also the best moog emulations around n really good)
But a rompler with presets from all the arturia classics sounds like a perfect product for the OP (and for me!)

Yamaha DX7

I have Analogue Factory and isn't not really that bad! There is about 5-6 patches I can't even begin to play a chord on but the rest are brilliant.

I don't exactly have a beasty processor either.. 3.2ghz AMD dual core.

Besides the synths mentioned, the E-MU Emulator line was the workhorse sampler in 80s studios. It helped shape many sounds, and many famous sounds came from the stock disks and is one of the reasons E-MU is a legendary company.

DX7 all day every day.

I have a poster of one I inherited from my old high school right above me as I type this! It's the undisputed king of cheesy 80s FM rhodes sounds.
