"I had a few spare minutes in the studio so I decided to fire up my old friend the Kawai DX800 Organ."

This one in via Conny. Look at what's on top. :)

Update: A few links of interest from Conny:

"I couldn’t help doing some more reasearch.

The memoricorder really seems to be rare.
I can only (for now) find one other photo showing this and it’s an organ used in a band called The Night Blooming Jazzmen. Photo from 1982 with a DX1800 this time.

A member of that band is Les Deutsch, tech engineer and his father Ralph Deutsch invented the first digital instrument, according to Les’ info on his web page. Later on we can read this is probably more true to the first digital organ.

there’s some tech info.
I wonder how much of the development of organs was later transfered into know how on building synths."
