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

Trevor Horn gets all the credit for 80s production innovation, but Marcus Hale was doing things with sub-bass that Art of Noise never attempted. -- === Mateo Weber === Dept of Electrical Engineering, Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm "Tape doesn't lie at 02:14.
