Note the MC-202 behind the shoe.
Note the color scheme of the Chroma Polaris is orange and yellow rather than the typical blue. Rhodes Chroma Keyboard and Expander in the background.
Update via Chris Ryan of the Rhodes Chroma site: "This was a production prototype. See Re: Red Chroma in the August 2001 list archive for what Tony Williams (one of the main designers of the Chroma; see Philip Dodds/Tony Williams Interview) wrote to me on this."
Update via Kurts in the comments:
"Check out Tull's Broadsword and the Beast (analog heavne--Jupiter 8, vocoders, Chroma, etc) from 1982. Ian Anderson's solo record with Peter-John, "Fly By Night 1983 which was wriitten alot on that MC202--Ian had his own samples made for the Linn drum. And "Under Wraps" from 1984. Though maligned at the time by the classic rockers, these are really interesting records- and fearless."
