instruments used in this song?

Listen to this: KAIBA hacker JD 9M13.mp3

and tell me the instruments used. I know it sounds like a synthesizer, but

what sort of instrumentation do you think is used here, I am looking for the

sound of the strings, really interesting. Anyway, thanks in advance!

It's all synthesizer, but it's emulating, along with some custom sounds, woodblocks, church organ, orchestra strings, electric guitar, and of course drums.

Wow, thanks man! But, I don't understand much about your "emulating" word?

You mean like re-creating the real instruments? and what are "woodblocks"?

emulate means to imitate, in this case it means that the sounds on the synthesizer were created on a computer to sound as similarly to the real instrument as possible

Woodblocks are blocks of wood (not so surprising) that you hit with a stick. They usually have a hollow inside with a hole on one side to naturally amplify the sound (similar to the sound chamber in a string instrument).

That's not a synthesized woodblock... they sound more like Claves which are round, cylindrical pieces of (traditionally wood) plastics and/or fiberglass. The pitch is higher and more piercing, which is why I know they're claves and not a woodblock. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claves

Also, the entire piece is an arrangement of synthesized groups. You have an orchestral synth, a percussion synth, an electric guitar synth, a pizzicato string synth, and probably something else like an 'effects' synth (I heard crashing waves and wind at one point, I thought). This is typical electronica type music often heard in films like The Matrix or something.

What are you going to do with it, out of curiosity?
