The CS-80 was used on "Duke" along with the ARP Quadra. Probably some CS on the 1983 album as well...

Is the brass in "Me and Sarah Jane" from Abacab from the CS-80, Micke?

Some of us were expecting you to know that first, Micke. :)

Unfortunately that was my CS-80. I sold it to a guy in Chicago just over a year ago and included a broken CS-50 in the deal. Still regret the decision. Was a beautiful sounding synth but I needed the money badly at the time. The previous owner was also in Chicago. He drove to North Carolina to buy it from the owner before him. He claimed it was used by Genesis on a cross-Canada tour. Apparently all of the gear was painted white for the tour. This claim was not documented, but who else would paint a CS-80 white?

I must have missed this post, sorry....

Anyway, if you're thinking of the big chords in the beginning of the song I rather think that's the Prophet 10.
