It's funny too that in the video of Mark Snow talking about how this song was created he mis-remembers the patch number as 126.

[@hansihinterseher9156]

Once again I am amazed how good a "crappy" patch (like this) can sound in the final mix!

[@YouCantDeleteDenzelL]

it's because Mark Snow's wife whistled along at the same time as the synth.

[@riquester1971]

Adding some chorus (digitech Polaris foot pedal) to it improves it quite a bit.

[@antzpantz]

Third verse didn't sound right!

[@LittleRichard1988]

That sound is one of the reasons I bought a Proteus 2.

[@RogerBrenon]

Anybody know a sample download for this patch? Cant find it.

What synthesizer instrument was used in all the episodes i can rememver as background music? The instrument sounds a bit like a reed instrument but of course creepy, dark. Was used when the characters were exploring

[@ornithaevum]

as heard in bbc two "woodpeckers" (2000)
