In the wake of Eddie's passing, I wanted to post this recording of me playing the title song to the 1984 album, which is the intro to Jump. I always felt this song had an ethereal sound that stood the test of time.
Play the video with headphones to capture the nuance of the filter sweep and texture of the strings.
I'm playing it on the same synth Eddie used on the album, the Oberheim OB-Xa. There is some debate as to whether he used this synth or it's predecessor, the OB-X, on the album, but both sounds used in this recording were original factory presets on the Xa.
For OB-Xa owners, the presets are C4 (Resonance Sweep) and C3 (Slow Strings) in Split mode and dropped an octave.
