Eddie Jobson's Gear

"I was also lucky enough to time the formation of UK with the first introduction of the Yamaha CS80 polyphonic synthesizer, so that helped give me a distinctive new sound with which to start writing the UK material. There’s no question that instrument inspired the writing of “Alaska,” “In The Dead of Night,” “Danger Money,” “Carrying No Cross,” and years later, the entire Green Album." - Interview - Keyboardmag.com
"Obviously, for the UK CS80 sounds, I started with Arturia’s CS-80 V to capture the character of the original sound, but more often than not, I have added a Spectrasonics Omnisphere timbre underneath to give the sound more power and warmth, not to mention stereo width."

Eddie Jobson used a Synclavier to compose his solo album Theme Of Secrets.
Hans [Tobeason, longtime friend and tech for Eddie Jobson] introduced me to the development of the VAX77 folding keyboard, and to Van Chandler at Infinite Response. As I'd just recently gone back to live performances, we loved the idea of the folding MIDI controller, and it had polyphonic aftertouch, which was a big plus for me. But I found the velocity a little hard to control in the keyboard's early form. So we spent many weeks working with Van to modify the feel of the keys, to make it more touch responsive and controllable. We had to add quite a bit of mass to the keys, but we ended up with a keyboard that is weighted enough for piano playing, but still light enough for Hammond slides.
