Tom Oberheim on Red Bull Music Academy

Lecture: Tom Oberheim (Barcelona 2008) from Red Bull Music Academy on Vimeo.

"Tom Oberheim
Oberheim Electronics, San Francisco, USA
Starting out in the music electronics business in the late ‘60s, early ‘70s by building legendary devices for Maestro and using his storefront to sell ARP synthesizers..., Tom Oberheim went on to shape the development of music equipment – and the sound of popular music – like very few other people. Actually, for a time in the ‘80s it seemed like it was just about impossible to have a hit without an Oberheim DMX or OB–Xa, as anyone from Run DMC to Van Halen relied heavily on those machines. Sometime later the Oberheim company was sold, but Tom Oberheim went on to develop more groundbreaking products, like the Marion Rack Synthesizers and some groundbreaking soundcard systems with SeaSound. It seems like he never lost the enthusiasm he felt when he first started working with computers in the ‘50s, all while keeping a decidedly consumer friendly outlook: 'My philosophy in building music equipment has always been not to try to second-guess the musician.'"

nutcracker suite lp synthesizer 1977

Anyone know anything more about this one? What synths were used?
Update via Kittenpurse in the comments:
"It's Kraft & Alexander's Tchaikovsky 1812 Overture/Nutcracker Suite album, a brilliant release easily as good as any Walter Carlos classical interpretation.

See http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/peter_tchaikovsky/1812_overture___nutcracker_suite___kraft_and_alexander_/

The album cover states 'performed on the ARP synthesizer' I can't remember if there are any more details on the rear, but I don't think so."

Patch for Oct 20, 2008

"LFOs and more LFOs making rhythms. I feed a random smooth signal out of the PlanB Heisenberg into the 1st oscillator in the Cwejman DLFO which makes it sound random, the LFO is the master clock which is divided and distributed to envelopes and other LFO syncs. About a 1/3 of the way in you can hear the randomness go away for a while and you hear a followable rhythm."
