elka was used in MF5 (entire track), EQ8 [rhytm'n'accomp], MFS4
It has rhapsody presets but those sounds were not used
most string parts from Equinoxe were from PE2000

Nope. Most strings on equinoxe are from eminent. korg PE 2000 is only used on equinoxe part 8 (final part+eminent)
More info: equinoxe part 5 is played on e310, arp2600, mp7,mgdrum composer.
source: Michel Geis, Jean Michel Jarre
edit: +vcs 3, and EMS vocoder (no AKS), forgot to mention these instruments.
Lead: ARP2600
Background: Eminent 310
Chorus: Eminent 310 (both)
Bassline: ARP2600
Drums: MP7, MG-composer
Thunder: Tape recording
Effects: VCS 3
Vocoder sound at the beginning: EMS
I have photo-copys of the technical notebooks from Oxygene, Equinoxe and Les chants magnetiques from that time (thanks to MG) handwritten and drawings(settings) by Jarre and Geiss. That is why i can provide this details.
Oxygene 60 pages (A5 format)
Equinoxe 190 pages (A4)
Les chants magnetiques 40 pages (A4)
If somebody want these notes? PM me.
BTW Farfisa is used on oxygene part 1, for about 1 second. Listen carefully to part 1 and you can hear an organ sound. That is the farfisa. (about 1.18min)
PS. from 40 seconds to 1min 40 (oxygene part 1) is dubbed eminent 310u with EHX phaser/under-layer eminent without phaser(setting phaser part string ensemble: SUST-STOPS) Layer (8' - SUST)-20db on mixer + variable volumepedal eminent. Basspedals: Bourdon 8'

well my friends....
pe2000 can be heard in eq1/2/3/5/7/8
of course i'm excluding eminent coz it appears in whole album.
as for eq5
- drums - minipops
- bass/plucks - arp 2600
- string bg chords - 310u
- refrain strings - pe2000
- lead - cs60
- vocoder - vc 10 ["c'est bien?"
] - MG confirmed funny story
ps. doubled eminent?
oxygene part 1 replica
btw. is it possible to share the drawings?

Realy Radek, Korg P2000 is never used on equinoxe part 5. If you want the exact sound of the chorus from Equinoxe part 5. Percusion on + Octave 4' + String 4' + Princ solos stops + Vibrato fader half open + Percusion length 60 % open + Reverberation fader complete open. All this with delay + doubled dubbed with reverb on the second part of the chorus. And you have the exact sound of the chorus from Equinoxe part 5
PS. I will send you the notes.

Means dubbed/overplayed and recorded above the part.

PS: All chords are overdubbed at oxygene and equinoxe. Once with normal strings or/and phaser and flanger. All overdubbed.
Your "replica" cover of oxygene part 1 is great but if you compare the sound to the original you can hear, that the sound is different. Experiment more with the flanger effect(there is surpisingly more flanger than phaser on oxygene and equinoxe) You have the right ingredients...

I have always believed from studying Oxygene 4 that the chords were doubled with one through phaser with switch up and either one with switch down or no phaser at all.

yes Matt, you have right
I'm asking if the both sound (phaser UP & DOWN) are L/R delayed.
or the up to right and down to left ?
