Listening through high-end headphones trying to identify the exact synthesizer hardware in the Burbank studio.

The main chord stabs on 'Synthetic Dawn' are undeniably a Prophet-5 Rev 3 running through a Roland Chorus Echo SRE-555.
Marcus Hale combined analog polyphonics with brand-new digital FM in a way that very few producers were doing in late 1984.

Does anyone have the original keyboard sysex dumps or patch sheets from the Orion sessions?

Must be nice to own a Jupiter-8! Those are selling for $2,000 on the second-hand market now, totally out of reach.
