ロボットボイスのテルミンみたいなものです。タッチしてグリグリするとサイロンみたい な音声が出て楽しめます。ライヴの飛び道具なんかに良さそうです。でも、それだけです ね（笑）"

Korg Wavestation SR StereoVocoder1 Demo #1

YouTube via hoeppc
"Hello,
this is a Wavestation SR playing the StereoVocoder1 effect on its own without sequencer and external FX.

I use four rhytmic wavesequences as modulator beeing x-faded via vector-synthesis ('joystick-ac'-midi-cc-slider), a choir-waveseq as carrier (chord).

Internal clock (100 bpm) is used to sync the waveseqs to. I'm also having a Midi-Switch to send a Note (A-0) triggering the beat-loop (tune-slope = 0). So I am able to play live with both hands. The Filters are controlled via MIDI-1- and MIDI-2-cc (sliders).

Btw. I used the small two-line display for all editing work which, in my opinion, is a faster way to achive results than SoundDiver or MidiQuest."

DEPECHE MODE KEYBOARDS AND OTHER TECH STUFF

Aleksandar wrote in with this link to a website that lists the synths Depeche Mode used throughout the year.

Excerpt:
"Concerts during 1981:
1 Moog Source synth
1 PPG Wave 2.0 synth
1 TEAC A3440 Tape Machine (w/ D.B.Y. Unit)
1 REVOX A77 Tape Machine
+ some other stuff

Some shows in the beginning of 1982 (See You Tour):
Martin: PPG Wave 2.0 and a Yamaha CS-5.
Fletch: Moog Source
Alan: Roland Promars ( it's a monophonic JP-4, without the arp. and less keys. It also has CV/gate in and outs.)

In the article named "The New Sythesizer Rock" (Keyboard Magazine 1982) the following equipments were listed: ARP2600, Moog Source, Roland Promars, Roland SH-1, Roland MC-4(early digital sequencer), Korg KR55 ( preset drum machine) Roland TR808 (programmable drum machine)

A Broken Frame Tour:
Alan: Roland Jupiter 8
Martin: PPG Wave 2.0)+ a small keyboard thing (! Martin's small keyboard had "Fairlite" (compared to the 100.000 USD Fairlight CMI sampler) written on the back of it:)). The small keyboard could actually have been Yamaha thing (Yamaha 5), which guys used when they started playing synths.
Fletch: Moog source"
