I am looking for help finding a Moog sounder. I believe I heard it on the radio in the 1990s, possibly WBBM news radio Chicago.
I put together a sound file of 3 examples. These examples sound like the sounder I am looking for. Particularly the first one, it is very similar to the sound I can’t find, very synth and with a fast upward progression, but in a different key.
The third one is a CBS sounder, and I think the sound I’m looking for might be an electronic variation of it.
Or if anyone knows the sounder I’m looking for… I think it might be by Siday, but it could be a corporate logo, etc. It’s a needle in a haystack type thing.
Here is the example file I put together:
I just want to clarify, I know the sounds that are in my example clip (Steve Miller Fly Like an Eagle, WGBH logo, CBS sounder).
The sounder I’m looking for sounds like an amalgam of all three.
The Steve Miller synth comes closest. The sound I’m looking for is so close to that sound, very synth, upward progression of about 4 or 5 notes. But in a different tone/key. In visual terms, it’s a sound kind of like a newspaper spinning toward the screen in a movie edit, but with the zeitgeist of an 80s laser grid.
I think it’s probably a Moog synth that leads into a jittery background news drone. But it could be just Moog, a corporate or other logo, as a standalone, just a few seconds long.
Again, I’m well aware that I’m looking for a needle in a haystack. But I’m still mostly sure that it exists somewhere out there.
