Hi kvr :)

The keyboard sound that goes through all the song. Sounds like an harpsichord or a clavinet, but somewhat different. Any tips?

I believe Prince used the Prophet 5 a lot. It could be a patch made with it and sent through a tremolo pedal or something? It has that rich but thin/'wheezy' sound the Prophet has..

Something gated indeed, but side-chain fed by the rythm box. What exactly is not that important...

Yes, I think all the sounds are gated, sidechained to the hihat.
