Blowyerowntrumpettime,

Actually it used to be mine.  It's the first MKII I owned back in 1989 which I bought(with Les's help) from Ray Thomas.  When Jarre contacted us it seemed the appropriate machine to supply and I upgraded to another MKII in the process before getting my MKI.  Just for info, JMJ's machine has the cycling locked up and has four standard MKII/M400 sounds plus two bespoke sounds that Jean Michel provided.  These are Jarrotron and Jarre Orchestra.  One is a processed version of the M400 Violins(from his Novatron) and the other is a straight lift from some obscure prototype synth, the name of which escapes me(it had a trendy stone wheel and wooden stick as I recall) which he wanted to make polyphonic. 

Best,

Martin
