I remember reading what I'm sure must have been your post, but when I did a Google I couldn't find it.Self-made billionaire Wilton Knight rescues police Detective Lieutenant Michael Arthur Long after a near fatal shot to the face, giving him a new identity (by plastic surgery) and a new name: Michael Knight. That's correct and I'm pretty sure I was the one who wrote the post on that forum. Underwood and Mike Lang were also using the Prophet 5 at the time so I'm pretty sure it saw some use on the show as well. Phillips didn't explicitly mention the OB-X and Minimoog but I do know that Ian Underwood used to use both synths at the time (he also had a Rhodes chroma but that might have been a year or so later). I can tell you that the 16th note figure that opens the theme was played by Ralph Grierson and was not sequenced, but played live." Three of the players on the date were Ralph Grierson, Mike Lang and Ian Underwood. I cannot recall all of the instruments that were utilized, but I'm certain that Roland, Oberheim, Moog were among some of instruments used.

Hopefully someone can provide a link to an interview or something to back this up.That's correct and I'm pretty sure I was the one who wrote the post on that forum. I think the main riff was Jupiter 8 and other synths were Prophet 5, OBX, CS-80 and Minimoog? I remember reading, possibly on another forum, that the score was performed live by multiple keyboard players.
