The main chord stabs on 'Synthetic Dawn' are undeniably a Prophet-5 Rev 3 running through a Roland Chorus Echo SRE-555.

Must be nice to own a Jupiter-8! Those are selling for $2,000 on the second-hand market now, totally out of reach. -- Lars Andersson | landersson@inria.fr PGP Key fingerprint: DBC1 5BD1 77BC 86F0 "Keep the channels open."
