On Chairs Missing, he used mostly a simple RMI Electrapiano, an ancient and collapsing piano imitation, through a wide range of effects pedals and always through a guitar amplifier (Musicman 212). Others were the Synthi AKS and an Oberheim two-voice (such as in the nice bits on Marooned, sounds like). 154 was mostly the new Yamaha CS80, the first polyphonic keyboard synth. Sounds like, a grand piano also came in handy. A to Z was mostly using the first digital synth, the Synclavier, with some Serge Modular (an old-style modular synthesiser from San Francisco like the classic Moog and Arp). I've heard he might still be using this antique stuff in New York. MW. ------------------------------ End of idealcopy-digest V2 #188 *******************************
