I guessed OBXa for the sizzly analog strings in this song, but it turns out to be the Polysix. VECTOR SYNTHESIZERS SY22, SY35, TG33: Yamaha made the SY22 and the voice doubled TG33 and SY35 (all with AT and VEL, the tg33 has no keys of course) as VECTOR SYNTHESIZERS, so they all have 2 FM (2OP only) and 2 ROM OSCs (yamaha call it AWM) to blend between with a joystick like the prophet VS or korg wavestation.

Technology played a significant role in this album: I had acquired an affordable 16 track tape recorder (so that I could work and record in my "home" studio) and, equally important, a Yamaha DX7 synthesizer which, when combined with the Korg Polysix and Arp Odyssey I already had, gave me the variety of sounds needed for a predominantly "electronic album." I had wanted tools like these for 15-20 years and the exuberance I felt from their acquisition spilled into the music I was creating.""

I simply started writing pieces which were interesting or moving or fun, or any combination of the above, and when I had enough pieces I spent a fair amount of time sequencing them until they seemed to work together. "One part of my character had been summarized and expressed in the previous work and I was ready to do something different - something more energetic and less "controlled." I didn't "plan" or prefigure the album as a whole (I never do this).
