I'm listening right now to Deep Space from The Magazine by Rickie Lee 
Jones.  Great album, back from 1984.  This song is just GS-1 and Rickie 
Lee singing.  It's a really great along-piano sound.  The album has 
thanks to various Toto people, so it might be the very GS-1 you have!  
The song is on the iTunes store if you want to hear 30 seconds of it. 

Anyway, this is getting too close to the evil DX-7 which, almost single 
handedly, destroyed analog synths for over a decade.
