Yes, I used arps for the sequences and the "leadline" is also played with a
keyboard.

Yes. Every lushy sound you hear on Oxygene and Enquinox is going through a
Smallstone :-) Even the Minipops drummachine.
Jarre's technician, Michael Geiss, invented that trick with the phaser. He
took a signal (for instance a stringsound), leaded it into the phaser, the
he splitted the output signal of the phaser into two paths. One went
directly into the mixer, panned fully left, the other went through a delay
(completely wet!, about 0,5 to 1 second delay) into the mixer, panned fully
right. This gives is very nice swirly filtersweep effect. You should try it.
But first buy a Smallstone. The sound of that phaser is too unique to
emulate. :-))

As so many times, it is really a matter of experimenting.
