I almost forget, the original timbre was a real Clavinet used on superstition, so the model is D6 and the set is probably on DB (both pickups, in phase) and Alan sampled this on the old Fairlight CMI. I believe you can extract one WAV note from Clavinet samples like Scarbee Clavinet or better, the Clav from Soniccouture for Kontakt (yes!!). After this, you need to change some filters, probably the attack using some compressor with relation with the attack. This timbre looks like has a long attack at intro but short at final, and I believe there is a chorus effect too. You can create and config this in mono track whith stereo reverb at 129ms, and the delay pan hard rightn the mono track totally at left. Thank you again!

Thanks very much for the additional information. I was trying to point interested parties in the general direction based on my imperfect understanding of the sounds and settings, as I hadn't found a tutorial that tackled this. Your comments are very helpful and are a great addition.

Alan once a time said me ''The Sirius song was a triple note delay''. I don't know if he used a dotted eight note plus a quarter dotted eighth (1/8. + 1/4.). At least you can hear a 1/8. on the studio version. The 1/16 is set at 129ms (the same probably you used on this tutorial) is more use in live versions. I'm sorry my English, I'm a little bit rusty. if you know what he meant about ''triple note delay'' please comment below. Thank you very much, cheers!

Thanks very much. I used a built in voice called "Clavi" which is in the E. Piano voice section on the Yamaha PSR 2000.

I thought that the author would play the full version of the composition Alan Parsons, but, as it turned out, no, unfortunately.
