From on alder thread with Keyboard mag interview:

https://prince.org/msg/5/90856?pr

Gaines: I play that piano too, on "A Song for You," the old Donny Hathaway song, which I do by myself.
What other keyboards do you play in the show?
Gaines: I only use that piano and a D-50 onstage, although there’s about eight racks behind me, with [Korg] M1Rs and other stuff.
What type of sounds do you run from the D-50?
Gaines: Organ sounds. Funk bass sounds – that slapped sound, like Larry Graham [bassist with Sly and the Family Stone] .used to do. There's a lot of wah-wah type sounds too, which you control keyboard pressure. I also use D-50 string sounds, old Rhodes sounds, some of the brighter Rhodes sounds, and some nice piano stuff.
