I would've said Prophet 5 also, but found this on another site:
"In the studio, Rolie tried a mellotron on the number and the
instrument proved defective. Co-producer Geoff Workman managed to
correct the sound somewhat and, once doubled with Rolie's regular
organ, the combination created a unique sound which, coupled with the
stacked background vocals, gave the song a kind of celestial ring."

And it's listed on Planet Mellotron here:

> I just learned (if playing anything that consists of four chords can
be called learning) "Any Way You Want It" by Journey, and was struck
by the 'tronnish quality of the string pad being used. Not listed on
Andy's site, anybody know what that was? Prophet-5 patch, perhaps?
