does anybody know what the name of the sound tomy banks is playing in the cage on the 2007 genesis tour?

From You Tube Videos it looks like he's using (apart from OASYS) - a Wavestation. The largerkeyboard looks like a digital piano with modulation wheels above the keyboard - something like a Yamaha S90:

I've read numerous interviews and other things about tony banks, particularly after their reunion gig.

yes he does use two wavestations and an OASYS, but the OASYS makes all the sounds apparently, all the other keyboards are used as MIDI controllers, and has the option to use the two Wavestations as backups if the OASYS fails.

The wavestations where used in concert. The oasys was only used for certain songs like the older stuff (in the cage for example) but not for everything. He still used the Emu modules, TX7, JD990 and his wavestation SR where he needed them.

All the sounds for In The Cage Medley where from the Oasys using Karma for the arpegiating synth in Dukes Travels.
