Wait a minute here, I'm almost positive that it was just a Nord Lead 1. I do
know the nord modular was not even out back then. I read an article a while
back (Sound on Sound, if you can find that issue let me know what month it was
in) that said that they did most of Cichli Suite with a Nord Lead. I take that
to mean that they used it to compose the music but added DSP treatment
afterward. Then they went on to say that they couldn't understand why they
weren't reading more about in the press.

Absolutely! I love the Nords. Especially the Nord lead 2. One of the best
features of this thing is the electronic percussion patches. People don't
usually expect it to be able to do that kind of stuff but it sound really
great.
