I've had little time for playing with this since getting it, as getting ready for my next show is all consuming right now. So I am really pleased somebody else has done all of the hard work in figuring out how this quirky synth was used in Genesis' "Cinema Show".
I've listened to the original as well with a quick bit of A/B ing. I think there is a bit more brightness in the effects and overall mix on the album, but it sounds to me like he has all of the right presets in the right order!
And it shows how by deft use of switching presets that Banks got a lot of mileage out of this preset synth, and why a Genesis synth solo was always very different to what the other prog bands were doing, mainly with MiniMoogs in those days as the goto lead synth.
