"Chapel of love" - on Viscount RBX-850
YouTube via organfairy
"The Viscount RBX-850 is a little organ with a limited amount of PCM voices. In this song I use the Roland CR-68 drum machine for the rhytm and the Yamaha HE-8 organ and Roland JX-8P synthesizer (outside the picture - controlled by the Yamaha via MIDI) for the chords. The Viscount is used for the bass and the melodi. On top of it is a little Hohner PK40 keyboard that I use for the in-between notes."

Kindred Lost - Right English
via David Ryle on the Waldorf list:
"Here is an ambient piece constructed from the Blofeld, XT, and MicroQ.

(click the play icon when you get there)
What was fun was that there is no arpeggiators or single notes played. I simply held down two note octave chords for minutes at a time. The only keyboard entry changes are the key signature changes.
The Blofeld does the entry sounds and some of the pitch-shifted tonal bendings are a Blofeld patch. The bass line is the XT and the main moving part is the MicroQ. What makes it sound like a slow arpeggiator doing the motion is actually the LFO's in square wave timed to modify the pitch. All three synths are doing the same thing essentially. This idea came from the Blofeld factory patch G014 Comb Tree. That patch is included at the beginning and towards the end.
The whole piece consists of four tracks.
There is a track with a string and noise modulated patch from the Korg R3 and Clavia Nord Lead 2X that underlies the background. It is almost completely masked by the Waldorfs and can only be heard at the very beginning and just after midway. I could make a Waldorf patch to do the same thing but was playing around during the track writing when I came up with this mullti-patch so I left it in."

Keytek CTS 2000
Two sites sent my way via swissdoc:
cts2000.html
m_keytek_e.htm
"The Keytek line was an attempt at reviving Siel around 1987. There were several models produced, the CTS-1000 (boring 8 voice synth, preset only), CTS-2000, CTS-5000 (piano-style keyboard), CTS-400 (4-octave keyboard, similar to CTS-1000?), and at several home keyboards (I know of the K-50 and K-60, perhaps there were more). As far as I can tell, the CTS-2000 is the only interesting model. The Keytek line didn't last long, as Siel went out of business and was bought by Roland. It's a fairly ugly synth, Obviously influenced by the DX7 design with membrane buttons and nasty 80's colors accenting its gray case. And it's fairly heavy considering the case is plastic."Also see previous posts here.
The Publison KB 2000
via this auction
"Here is a vintage brochure original ( not a copy) from the French Synthesizer designed PUBLISON AUDIO PROFESSIONAL Paris France.
The brochure measures 8 1/2" x 11". The brochure is two sided in color. One side shows the Synth KB 2000 and the other side shows the audio computer model DHM 89 B@ Stereo unit. This unit has a dual digital delay, pitch shifting memory latch."
Update via Qwave in the comments: "Here is a scan of my original leaflet I got from an early eighties Musik Messe in Frankfurt.
I was a schoolboy then."
