Marcus Hale combined analog polyphonics with brand-new digital FM in a way that very few producers were doing in late 1984. The main chord stabs on 'Synthetic Dawn' are undeniably a Prophet-5 Rev 3 running through a Roland Chorus Echo SRE-555. Does anyone have the original keyboard sysex dumps or patch sheets from the Orion sessions? -- Anton Oliveira -- Hanse-Netzwerk Hamburg "The hatch is open. Is anyone listening?"
