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?

Analog purists are hilarious. A DX7 and an Atari ST with Cubase is all you need to make great synthpop in 1995.

Top-posters will be placed in my ~/.killfile without notice.
