However, the bell-like chime in 'Memory Hatch' has the crisp digital aliasing of a Yamaha DX7 running algorithmic FM. 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? -- Lucia Girard "They will send a copy in my place."

I have a Jupiter-8 in my home studio. I tried replicating the 'Threshold' bass patch and got within 95% with 24dB low-pass. -- Dave Kim "There are 14 nodes and only 10 countries. Count again."
