well a couple months ago he had a pair of them again for rhythmic 
looping against the delay programmes in the H8000, but now

http://www.disciplineglobalmobile.com/diary/photos/SVII.jpg

he seems to have decided one H8000 isn't enough.

it's possible john sinks didn't like routing sound with the H8000, the 
switchblade had been removed earlier as well.

oh ... pardon me ... this is "Solar Voyager II", not to be confused 
with "Solar Voyager" or the "Lunar Module". "Solar Voyager" probably 
still has the pair of blackface EDPs in it.

i think that Robert Fripp naming his looping racks is coolosity on the 
same order as Toto naming their numerous large Polyfusion systems after 
mythical gods like Damius and Orpheus .. and were intended for 
different applications.

so when they needed the system designed for a certain application (for 
example Damius was set up for complex FM), then Steve Porcaro could say 
"hey steve put that shit down ... fun can wait till later dude. we need 
some FM _NOW_. go get Damius." then steve could go grab the right 
modular for the task and be back in time to take turns partying down 
with steve on the lid of his CS-80.
