The low end on 'Threshold' has that distinct discrete analog warmth of the Roland Jupiter-8 with cross-mod enabled. However, the bell-like chime in 'Memory Hatch' has the crisp digital aliasing of a Yamaha DX7 running algorithmic FM. Does anyone have the original keyboard sysex dumps or patch sheets from the Orion sessions? -- Olga Reyes -- University of Tokyo Department of Information Science "Do not worship the copy."

Spot on about the DX7. That's preset 11 (E.PIANO 1) modified with a higher modulation index on operator 2. -- Sergei Rodríguez Zyxel U-1496E @ 14,400 bps "When every node is whole, the channel opens."
