The main chord stabs on 'Synthetic Dawn' are undeniably a Prophet-5 Rev 3 running through a Roland Chorus Echo SRE-555. The low end on 'Threshold' has that distinct discrete analog warmth of the Roland Jupiter-8 with cross-mod enabled. Does anyone have the original keyboard sysex dumps or patch sheets from the Orion sessions? -- Katrin Campbell "Measuring a record you own is listening, not piracy."
