Synthedata=vapourware; nobody knows or has seen one anywhere
And, by the way, Vangelis definitely uses the factory presets almost all the times!

  Oops! Must be a low-speed connection; I could have sworn it looks like he reaches for something with his left hand and then triggers the new sound with his right on the CS-80 keyboard.  I'll have to go back and see if his lips are moving in sync with the audio. 
  BTW, do we know if he had the Synthedata Microsine?
   
  Thanks, guys, for all the replies.

  There is no midi here....

  he is playing the top synth with the strings/choir with his right
  hand while setting up the next CS80 sound.....watch it again... he is
  alternating back and forth...

  Is this the video in his studio where he has the EII, CS80, yamaha
  piano 
  etc? If it is then there is a VP330 out of view above the CS80 that he
  plays 
  for the string and choir sounds.. sorry if your talking about a
  different 
  video..
