I don't think I've ever heard Martin Gore's voice before this. Pretty deep considering how light and angelic, almost eunuch, sounding it is when singing. I'm guessing that's a Crumar Spirit in the backgound.

Roland VCA-800 and CPE-800 (1981)

Not a synth but interesting enough.
Sonicstate.TV by TheCircuitSymphony
"# A VERY rare combo! The Voltage Controlled Amp ( VCA800 ) along with the CPE-800 Compu Editor.

From around 1981 basically an automated mixer that runs on sync track/smpte time code.

Nice warm sound, wooden ends - o`h err.. and uses parts that look like the Jupiter8 and TR 808....

"The front panel is Lexan.
These are the sections
(2) VCO's: VCO1(RAMP), VCO2(RAMP, PWM)
(1) LM13700 based Filter
(1) LM13700 based VCA
(1) LFO. It can do audible speeds. Square, Saw, Ramp, Triangle shapes. this has an LED indicator also.
(1) Attack, Release Envelope. This has an LED indicator also (indicates when gate signal is inputed)
(1) Portamento, It can do exaggerated portamento.
(1) MIDI-2-CV converter in 1v/oct format. There are outputs(PITCH/GATE) so you could use this as a converter for your other gear.
(1)+/-12v regulated power supply with exaggerated DC power Filter Cleaning for this synth.

There are (17) slide switches to either turn on/off a modulation patch or decide between something like for example white or pink noise.

The PCB was CNC pro Manufactured and has Solder mask to last a very long time. The unit is almost wireless, the only wiring is for the jacks. The pots are directly on the PCB, this results in very accurate and fast response.
The internal power supply is using 11000uF for each rail (+/-12v), that's (10) 2200uf CAPS total. This is really cleaning the POWER!"

EMINENT 310U Unique DEMO - the JEAN-MICHEL JARRE ORGAN!

YouTube via AnalogAudio1
"This video shows the Eminent 310 Unique in action. This is the organ heard on Oxygene! The Eminent 310U was the first organ featuring an electronic string ensemble. It is a great instrument - even so in 1972, when it came out. An analog reverb is built in, also a leslie / chorus, which can add life to the sounds.

Addtional effects were not used in this video (except the introducing music with Small Stone pedal and delay to obtain the Oxygene-Sound). The best on the Eminent is the STRINGS ENSEMBLE, which produces the best synth-strings I ever heard."
