     I'm not sure if this is what good 'ol Harold used, but the video for
  Axel F shows him using a DX7, Juno-106, and JX-3P.  Seems logical to me.
  He also probably used a drum machine (let me make that definately).
  If all the gear is MIDI'd with a sequencer/computer then sure it can
  be played back in purity.  In fact I've already heard it done.

  My question then is ... who'd want to?
