They did???
This would be cool news to me. I can't say I am surprised though.
The sound could easily be the P6, and the time is right. It's just
that "Final Countdown" is the ultimate 80'ies kitch song. And to
think that it was done on a P6 is just too cool.
You also mentioned something about "around a bunch of DX7s". What
do you mean? Do you mean to say "played in unison" or "backed up by"
the DX7?
I have my P6 in a two keyboard setup, with a DX7 at the bottom and
the P6 at the top. I could have sworn that FM and analog synthesis
doesn't go well together, but I have to admit that they really
complement each other nicely. No, I don't have any "FM Rhodes" sounds
in my DX7. I hate that sound.
I have built a number of brass and ensemble sounds on the DX7 with
some analog character to them. Played in unison with the P6 the sound
gets even fatter than the P6 is already.
