Synth used for dubnobass era pads

[amoe]

Hi there

I've been re-listening to a lot of the Dubnobass era tracks and am wondering if anyone can identify which synth was used to make the pad sounds?
Particularly I'm thinking of the main sad-sounding synth motif from "Most 'Ospitable", the warm bassy pad surges at for instance 08:16 in "Cowgirl (Irish Pub In Kyoto...)", and the trebly melodic noodling at 06:30 in "Thing in a Book" for instance.

I don't know if these are the same synth but if any gear nerds have any idea, I'd love to hear it...
I've heard that they use the Nord Lead, Yamaha DX7, Juno-106, ARP 2600, but I have no way of telling which is which.

Cheers!
Dave

Dave,

I'm afraid I can't answer your question directly, but I can add another possibility to your list:
The OSC OSCar. There's ample info floating around the internet about Underworld's use of it and its virtual cousin, the GForce impOSCar2. (Rick apparently lent his hardware OSCar to the developers to help A/B sounds against to validate their work).

Hope this helps (or at least leads you to some interesting reading).
