"For touch‑sensitivity, I used the brand new Fatar keyboard. Close your eyes and it really is like playing a piano. All of the piano on the album is real piano [a Steinway 9‑foot]. For soloing, my favourite keyboard is the Minimoog. After the Minimoog, my second favourite is the Roland JD800, which I MIDI up with other instruments. It's interactive — I love being able to fiddle with the knobs as I play. From Roland's point of view the machine was almost a total disaster. They brought it out at a time when people didn't want to play around with sound, but that's all changed. I have a sneaking suspicion that the JD800 will be discovered by some spotty little 19‑year old, who thinks 'this is great' — it'll appear on Top Of The Pops, and then we'll all be searching for JD800s! Other favourites include Korg's 01W ProX and X5DR."

Music Radar, July 14, 2020, "Rick Wakeman on his top 5 synths: 'I suddenly had an instrument that could give the guitar a run for its money'"

“I hope you’ll indulge me with one digital machine. By the time the ‘90s came around, synths were getting pretty boring. It was all about presets. Here you go, lots of lovely sounds that we’ve programmed for you. I didn’t want that. I wanted a synth that you could get your teeth into.

“This was the first digital one that reminded me of the early days… plenty of knobs and sliders to play with. And even though it was digital, it had some nice, analogue-y sounds.

Used live in lieu of a piano, as mentioned in this July 14, 2020 Music Radar interview covering Wakeman's top five synths.

“Picking the final one was hard. I’d liked to have included the GEM Promega 2 Stage Piano, just because it sounds so close to a real piano, but I’ve already had one digital keyboard. So, I went for the CX-3

“The Promega saved me having to drag a real piano everywhere, and the CX-3 saved me having to drag the bloomin’ Hammond everywhere. And, believe you me, touring with a Hammond isn’t fun for you or the Hammond. Realistic Hammond sounds and no slipped discs. What’s not to like!”
