Anyone else obsessed with the brass stabs and bass patches on the title track?

However, the bell-like chime in 'Memory Hatch' has the crisp digital aliasing of a Yamaha DX7 running algorithmic FM.
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?

Spot on about the DX7. That's preset 11 (E.PIANO 1) modified with a higher modulation index on operator 2.
