Kraftwerk - Die Roboter


YouTube via technik. Note this is the live German version.
"Kraftwerk - Die Roboter
(Rockpop, German TV ZDF, 1978)"

You can find the English video here. Embedding disabled unfortunately.
Note the white ARP Odyssey in the English version and what appears to be a black and gold ARP Axxe in the German. Correction [via ralf in the comments]: it's not an Axxe as there are switches under the slider, so it must be an Odyssey - it just looks narrower in the video. The other synth in the embedded video appears to be a Moog. Anyone know which one? The drums are custom. You can find a good image of them and a list of the instruments used by Kraftwerk over the years here. Note the site does not list the Axxe and the only Moog listed during the 70s is the Minimoog, yet the performance above from 1978, the other synth is clearly not a Mini.

Update via micke in the comments: "It's a Micromoog. Afaik they used it on The Man Machine album. And yes, that's indeed the Synthanorma sequencer." click on the Synthanorma label below for prior posts featuring the sequencer.

Technics SX-C600


YouTube via organfairy. More synthesized sounding voices come in at 1:25.
"In this the final organ demo I play the Technics SX-C600. It is an analogue digital hybrid with digital solo voices, bass, reverb, and rhytm. The other voices are analogue. I have played this instrument many times before here on YT. But in this case I try to use some of the rhytms and voices that I haven't used before. Finally I would like to dedicate the first song in this medley to my friend mr. Sten Demant who happens to "lurve" the sound of the organ banjo :-)

The songs I play are:

Funky Feet (Björn Ulveaus, Benny Anderson)
Maria Magdalena (Michael Cretu, Hubert Kemmler, Markus Löhr, Richard Palmer-James)
Matrimony (Gilbert O'Sullivan)
Did you have to love me like you did (Stony Browder jr, August Darnell)
In the summertime (Ray Dorset)
Jitterbach (Kai Ewans)
Bobblesex (Tommy Seebach)"

I couldn't find the auction so here is a search on Waldorf Microwave on Ebay in case it shows up later. Of course it might not be listed on the US site.

Javier who brought us the Andromeda A6 vs. Roland System 100 sound test, wrote in to let me know he wrote a comparison of the Andromeda A6 and Minimoog for AMAZONA.de. You can find the review in German here, and Googlish here.
