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? -- Sven Karlsson "Row 14. No joke."
