He also applied the use of some foley techniques, using the synthesisers to produce diegetic and non- diegetic sounds.

The most prominent synthesiser used in the score was the Yamaha CS- 8. Other synthesisers employed by Vangelis included four Roland instruments: the Pro. Mars, the Jupiter- 4, the CR- 5. VP- 3. 30 Vocoder Plus; a Sequential Circuits Prophet- 1. Yamaha GS1 FM synthesizer and an E- mu Emulator sampler. A Steinway grand piano, a Yamaha CP- 8.
