Unfortunately, I don't have Keff's original multitrack, so my options are extremely limited. From what I understand, Keff's original multitrack no longer exists, so there isn't anything I could do anyway. The only option left is recreation, which is something I'm working on (albeit at a very slow pace).

I just heard back from Dom about this. Apparently the multitrack for his extended theme was kept by the studio at which he recorded it, and then recorded over and thrown away decades ago. The studio itself no longer even exists today. That means everything that was done for the extended theme is lost forever. Therefore the responsibility now falls to me to somehow produce an extended master without using any of the original source materials. I believe I'm going to re-record the bassline on the Juno-6 and use that as a starting point for the final mix.
(I also heard back about Dom's use of the Prophet 5... he does not believe he solely used the Prophet 5 for the new bassline. Instead he thinks it more likely that he recorded a new bassline from the Juno and then layered it with the Prophet to boost the low end. I'm going to explore this further when I have a chance.)
