Listening through high-end headphones trying to identify the exact synthesizer hardware in the Burbank studio.

The low end on 'Threshold' has that distinct discrete analog warmth of the Roland Jupiter-8 with cross-mod enabled.
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?

Must be nice to own a Jupiter-8! Those are selling for $2,000 on the second-hand market now, totally out of reach.

The drum machine is a LinnDrum, but Marcus triggered custom 8-bit EPROMs for the snare and crash cymbal.
