Hi Pat and rreprobate :)
You should give selected ambient works II a listen it is not at all
like his music before or after. Defenately not a cz-101 and a
digitech reverb hehe.
Really almost sure it's mostly cs-80 and a lexicon 224 reverb, some
sound are very typical and i would know of no other way to make them
than with a cs-80. It's the most organic record i've ever heard. The
music that comes closest i think is Brian Eno's Ambient 4 - On land,
but selected ambient works II goes much further where Eno left off
imho.

Stephen and Jim, thanks for the names and info!
Will contact them and will let you all know how the mod turns out.
Was thinking it would be nicer to add gates and v/hz cv and a cv for
the aftertouch and an encore expressionist midi to cv instead of the
expensive kenton kit. Not only for the costs but also because it's
semi modular that way and i can hook it up to my other analogues or
play it in unison, maybe figure out a way to do microtuning, and
things like that :)
btw does anybody know a way to do microtuning in this setup? Is it
possible through midi or is there a module from one of the modulars
to process the cv's, or should i just bug encore electronics to
implement this in their midi to cv converter?
If it's not possible by manipulating midi data in for instance
cubase etc then i think a manufacturer of midi converters should be
smart and implement this, would be the easyest place to implement
it, and would do music a lot of good, all old analogs would have
instant microtuning! Would be a giant spiritual leap forward for
western music hehe ;)

Cheers,
