Link to a web page where you can watch many of the equipments Jean-Michel and his staff has used all these years and (sometimes) on wich albums.

Some sounds on the Magnetic Fields album were ie. created with Fairlight CMI-I, Oberheim OB-X and Moog Liberation.
All you can do is trying to find out on wich "consumable" synths you best can duplicate those old dragons.
What sound on wich synths that are the closest or easiest to produce seems to be pretty much a personal taste.
I'm not that much "into this" but for Chronologie Roland JD8000 seems to be a popular tool and Oxygene 7-13 was almost
like a commersial for Nord Lead synths, even if other gear ofcourse were in use.

A commercial for Nord lead???
If you break down the sound elements of the tracks,I'd say the Nord was used simply on one song,Part 11 and nothing else.

Well his Oxygene 7-13 setup was huge and we don't know how much he used each piece of equipment. Some probably wasn't used that much. The Nord could be in that category aswell as the RMI for instance.

Well he certainly liked to show it off during most of the Oxygene Tour

Ok, I see now it looks like I exaggerated about the Nord thingy.
I should had mentioned the 1997 Oxygene tour, not the album.
Still infact Clavia sponsored the tour with their red gears so (without going into any playback discussions)
at some concerts JMJ
might have duplicated some sounds from the album on a Clavia Nord Lead.
