Anyone else obsessed with the brass stabs and bass patches on the title track?

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?

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

Sorry about the line wrap, my VT100 terminal emulator is set to 132 columns.
