No Reply at All and Paperlate were performed with the EWF horns at Forest Hills NY and at the LA shows. Paperlate was only performed at these occasions, but No Reply At All was performed without horns the rest of the time.

Abacab Tour 1981/82 EXTRA INFO

The Farm is built as Genesis' studio. I don't know exactly when this gear list for the Farm is from --
they have upgraded the equipment in The Farm several times over the years.

The Farm Equipment
Patched into the 56 channel SSL 4000 E series mixing console is a Sony 3348 multitrack, a Sony 3324A, and
a Studer MkIII A800 24-track analogue machine. The monitoring is diverse, ranging from Acoustic Research
AR18s to ProAc and Westlakes, with monitor amps by Amcron. Apart from the familiar array of outboard gear,
Like AMS and Lexicon, Neve 1066 and Focusrite EQs, there are two Sony 1630 DMR2000 mastering machines
plus a DMR4000 and a DAE3000 editor.

Tony's gear in this period:
Acoustic Piano [studio only]
Yamaha CS80 synthesizer [studio only]
Yamaha CP70 Electric Grand Piano thru Boss CE10 chorus
ARP Quadra synthesizer
SCI Prophet-10 synthesizer
SCI Prophet-5 synthesizer
Roland VP330 vocoder, choir & strings
EDP Wasp synthesizer [studio only]

Notes: The Prophet-10 replaces the Hammond organ. The organ sound is produced by tuning the Prophet's four oscillators in octaves (sometimes adding a fifth)and cutting highs and lows with the built in EQ. The output then goes through the usual MXR phaser and Boss chorus. The Abacab sound consists of the Quadra's duophonic lead section layered on top of the polysynth section with distortion. The CS80 was also put through a fuzz box for the "Dodo" main riff. For "Whodunnit?", he 'played' the Prophet-5's patch change switches, constantly alternating between 3 or 4 patches while holding down one or two keys. Delay effects by MXR and Lexicon digital delays.
