First I thought the news said that JMJ was programming drums with the Voyager because it said "Voyager. For the drums..." I just didn't se the dot and then I didn't read that it was the MC-505 he used for the drums.

Anyway Im confused now.

I have sampled some strange noises recorded outside with a little "DAT RECORDER".Then I put "on loop" these noises and use that as rytmic!

OMG, Zoolook 2
YäY

Argh that doesn't matter. I would just specify that it was the MC drummachine and not the voyager

Well it probably isnt the sole Rhythmic instrument and it was also a lost in translation quote meant to mean the Roland but theres nothing to say he isnt using the Voyager for drums!!!!!

the Moogs are capable of producing Drum sounds like any Analog synth....as long as you know how to create them


Many artists created Kick drums or snares and hihats on Arps and Other vintage synths years ago as they were far beefier than other drun machine sounds...
and Jarres no stranger to creating al drum type elements on analogs

I think that rhythmic part isn't just drums programming,but could be also bass sequence programing.

I hope it will be a complex drum like in Revolution !

But Francis said "opus", "opus" is only in an orchestra, no ?

No one said that... I agree that Moogs are pretty good to create drums on. Last time I tried the voyager, a nice drumpreset was on, so it's not impossible, and we don't know what this new album will sound like. JMJ always do some new stuff.

Probably. It's well-know Jarre is planning to use orchestra, but i think maybe this opus will be long instrumental(s)...(?)

I think it's just a composition of any kind. Another word for a track.
Maybe again a long composition with numbered parts?
