And the best: There is a small exception of a Live "Odyssee" concert with young Mike on guitar....it starts at 3:10 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlIAlaiE6Do Back to top

I am guessing that this would be the same (or even the actual) that Mike used, initially and sparingly on Ommadawn, then extensively on Incantations. -------------- https://www.youtube.com/user/PriaboniaMusic www.soundcloud.com/just-before-dawn Back to top

It probably predated the SQ-10(or was it an SQ-10, hard to see on the little window). I met a guy in 1980 who owned one. Using an ARP-AXXE he had to tune each knob/note by ear individually. A long process. I read an interview with Rick Wakeman, while on tour with YES he used one of these for a certain yessong and always taped a sheet of paper over it saying "DO NOT UNPLUG THIS!" Because before every show he had to manually tune it and unplugging it erased everything. Then when "this thing was supposed to kick in, all you could hear was me saying SHIT!". -------------- We raise our voices in the night Crying to heaven And will our voices be heard Or will they break Like the wind Back to top

It looks a lot more basic? (btw, you can watch the video in full screen here): http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=UlIAlaiE6Do Interestingly, it does seem to have 12 steps (if you listen to the basic sequence played in the clip)...which might explain why most (all?) of the sequencer arpeggios in Incantations are in triplets?! -------------- https://www.youtube.com/user/PriaboniaMusic www.soundcloud.com/just-before-dawn Back to top
