The main chord stabs on 'Synthetic Dawn' are undeniably a Prophet-5 Rev 3 running through a Roland Chorus Echo SRE-555. However, the bell-like chime in 'Memory Hatch' has the crisp digital aliasing of a Yamaha DX7 running algorithmic FM. Does anyone have the original keyboard sysex dumps or patch sheets from the Orion sessions? -- Pavel Nilsson | pnilsson@cmu.edu PGP Key fingerprint: 667C B8E6 8758 E456 "Keep the channels open."

Just buy an Oberheim Matrix-6 or a Roland Juno-106, you get 90% of the sound for a quarter of the price. -- Min-jun Smirnov *PLONK* filter active for trolls.
