If you've seen the show or heard the music you'll know that the overture contains a load of percussive sound effects (car horns, that sort of thing). Ideally I'd have just fired up a sampler, but I don't have one. Instead I made up the sounds using my MGS-65 (Roland Sound Canvas, to you John) and David used my Octopads to play them during the Overture. Here are the patches and sounds used:

MGS-64 Patch Settings. Not all of these are used above in
the overture, but I prepared
a few extra in case David wanted to use the Octopads in Tyrones Rap, or Fame
itself.
