I went through all the Mark 2 sound clips and couldn't match it. The attack on each note as quickly as the keys were depressed is incredible...very responsive and right on cue with each keystroke. Brass? Woodwinds? Jeez, I can't make it out. Sounds like Tcheee Tchee Tcheee Dededee de dee Tchee Tchee>> The percussive sound is the MKII Electric Guitar. Because the cycling system in this machine is optimised to stop when sufficient notes are ready to "go", there are many that have already started when you hit the keys, hence the clicking. One Spring falsehood though.........they only had one MKII but three people took their turn to play it on the album. Welcome to the show.......
