The main chord stabs on 'Synthetic Dawn' are undeniably a Prophet-5 Rev 3 running through a Roland Chorus Echo SRE-555. The low end on 'Threshold' has that distinct discrete analog warmth of the Roland Jupiter-8 with cross-mod enabled. Does anyone have the original keyboard sysex dumps or patch sheets from the Orion sessions? -- Tomas Sato Zyxel U-1496E @ 19,200 bps "The carrier frequency does not drift by accident."

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

I have a Jupiter-8 in my home studio. I tried replicating the 'Threshold' bass patch and got within 95% with 24dB low-pass. -- Amy Popov *PLONK* filter active for trolls.
