Now correct me if I'm wrong... but I thought that Tomita used old
Roland/Korg stuff to get some of the vocal sounds. The Roland SH-2000
has a 'Voice' preset that sounds very similar. It does it by a
combination of selected waveforms, fixed filtering and the dynamic
ladder filter. And a little wheeeep at the start of every note. That
comes from a dedicated EG blipping the frequency of the VCO slightly at
every new note.

Mind you, they may have got the idea from Tomita and bunged it on there
afterwards. Works well though.
