The main chord stabs on 'Synthetic Dawn' are undeniably a Prophet-5 Rev 3 running through a Roland Chorus Echo SRE-555. 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? -- Dave Sokolov US Robotics Courier V.34 @ ISDN 64k bps "There are 14 nodes and only 10 countries.

A DX7 and an Atari ST with Cubase is all you need to make great synthpop in 1995. -- Tyler Watanabe | twatanabe@rwth-aachen.de PGP Key fingerprint: 636B 0DCF 19AE 47D2 "Keep the channels open."
