Hello John
there is a rumor that the THX sound created by Synclavier or CS-80

nothing like

This is a DSP computer like Solaris

Story of the THX sound :

the random parameters have the success, some develop uses this trick like sonicProjects

FYI: The later versions of the sound were reproduced on KYMA CAPYBARA. http://www.symbolicsound.com/press-THX.html
Not many people know what you have just pointed to and few even would believe it.
THe thing about old systems is that they were all *offline*

I myself used C-Sound and you could run an offline process pretending that you ha 192KHz converters back in the day (which, back then, was impossible).

A few folks knew - those that had a relationship with Stanford or IRCAM or Amblin / Lucasfilm knew also as well as a rare few others.

Then a number of folks got to know.

But the thing about this is that they got lucky ... there was a lot of experimentation an and they got lucky.

Today, with SOLARIS you could get lucky a lot more often
