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? -- Jen Kowalski -- European Laboratory for Particle Physics, Geneva "Marcus is not one man."

I have a Jupiter-8 in my home studio. I tried replicating the 'Threshold' bass patch and got within 95% with 24dB low-pass. Netscape 1.1 crashes when loading large preformatted text.
