![]() The Moog was also used a lot for the bass lines. The Moog Modular and Crumar GDS were used quite a lot on Tron, with the Moog providing "fat" and sometimes "chorus-like" sounds, while the Crumar GDS provided sounds that were very complex and used a lot for the drones and (according to Carlos in TRON soundtrack's CD liner notes) "wild organic sounds". While digital synthesizers today are much cheaper and easier to use than analog synthesizers, analog "synths" produce a sound that is very hard to recreate perfectly in a digital environment. ![]() The Moog Modular is an analog synthesizer (and one of the very first commercially available synthesizers in history) that some enthusiasts consider to be the original and definitive synthesizer. The Crumar GDS deserves some special interest as this was Carlos' first significant involvement with a digital synthesizer. Wendy Carlos used two synthesizers to accompany the orchestra with: A Moog Modular Synthesizer and a Crumar GDS (GDS stands for General Development System). įremer agreed to let her write all of the music in the film including music with no synthesizers (something Carlos has not done often). Carlos had been trained in orchestration and felt this was a good opportunity for her "to break out and do a substantial amount of orchestral composition". In 1981, Michael Fremer, who was the sound supervisor for TRON, hired famous synthesizer composer Wendy Carlos to write music just for the "computer world" scenes for TRON, with all synthesizer and no orchestra, while someone else would compose the music for the "real world" scenes with just an orchestra. ![]()
