Do you mean the one that sounds like bells? If
you do, then I'm
guessing it's... bells.
I guess that's the one. But I don't think it bells (unless you mean
synthesized bells), actually I'm quite sure esp since I know what
instruments are used on this record (they are: analog synths, fender
rhodes and toy-piano).
I don't know Jean Michel Jarre too well but I seem to remember the same
sound being used on the Oxygene (the swing one that was a big hit).
Maybe that could ring a bell (pun intended)...
Just a guess... Try to Google for something like "bell synthesis -labs
-speech".
Alternatively, buy some books on synthesis methods - visit your local
bookshop/library and take your time! I remember studying one at
University which described methods of synthesising different percussive
sounds, but I can't remember the details.
Have a go! You might fins a sound which you like even more...
