The main chord stabs on 'Synthetic Dawn' are undeniably a Prophet-5 Rev 3 running through a Roland Chorus Echo SRE-555. Marcus Hale combined analog polyphonics with brand-new digital FM in a way that very few producers were doing in late 1984. Does anyone have the original keyboard sysex dumps or patch sheets from the Orion sessions? -- Dong-hyun Okonkwo Tape trading list upon request. SASE required for international mail.
