Hi Clay / everyone.


Yes (pun intended) its seems to be the Double Tron. There's a part in the audio where Rick says ' and on the other side' - referring to the other left side keyboard.

Also -the sounds are in those configurations on each side of the instrument.

In several conversations and e-mails with Wakeman, he told me he used the configurated Double Tron for everything after 1972.
Supposedly it was where the original idea for the MK V model came.
