Xpantastic!

This is interesting to Xpander/M12 owners.

The first Technotronic album lists the M12 as the main instrument, and 
"Extra synthesisers" by New Beat legend Patrick DeMeyer.

Last week I bought the 12" that became the hit Pump Up the Jam. On this 
12", the band is the Pro 24's and the track is called Technotronic and 
it's identical to Pump up the Jam in some ways. Eg, no vocals.

Secondly, the synth 'wash' on Pump Up the Jam and the chorus, are 
missing, which reveals Patrick's role as being very important in making 
it sound studio-based.

Next, we can assume that Technotronic used Pro 24 (an Atari ST Steinberg 
sequencer circa 1987), which may be what they used to sequence the M12.

I find it interesting because I'm a big Technotronic fan, but also 
because of my liking for my Xpander and whether it can help me have a 
hit record. ;-)

Cheers,

Jeremy.
