Synthesizers that were around included the Oberheim OB-Xa, Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 and the Roland Jupiter-8. Since neither the band nor Padgham himself were any good at programming synths, Sting, for instance, would run through the various factory patches until he finds a particular sound as he did not like to spend time getting synth sounds (i.e. through programming)."Walking In Your Footsteps" is an example of this, as well as being the first song Sting ever did using the Oberheim DSX sequencer.
