I don't think I caught that one, until now! Though it doesn't surprise me that they made sure to use every bit of milage out of the samples they collected / made through that era. I still hold out hope that one day we'll have confirmation of what the Runaway sample was lol. Listening to the Papercuts Instrumental release reminded me how cool the synths in the back of Crawling are, they add so much to the atmosphere.
Yeah I think it's cool how much they made use of sampling back in the early says, DIYing or reinterpreting their recorded stuff. I think I've been able to place every one of the samples on Joe's Meteora vinyl at this point. There's some neat stuff like using a pitched vocal sample from By Myself for the scratches on Lying from You. You'd never hear it unless you knew what to listen for!
The specific sampling technology they had at the time plays a big part in this. People still use particular MPCs and such today because they process sound in ways that aren't easy to replicate elsewhere
the synth at the start of "runaway" is from the korg triton. it's a combi (combination) preset. patch name: || TRANSIT || patch number: B084 patch type: Motion Synth example: https://vocaroo.com/1aHOU8d3lWSH you can either grab a hardware triton yourself or get a VST version which has it on there also, under the category "Motion Synth". it's played starting on B, then G, A. the actual sound in runaway is a sample of that preset though, because the bubbles play at different timings depending on the note and the attack/release is cut shorter, but the sound source is 100% the Korg Triton EDIT: got a couple details wrong
Haha, wow! This is amazing, thank you so much! That sounds like it's 100% it. Can't believe we finally got that resolved (I think discussion around that sample as been going since 2016 or something in this thread)
