Roland Jupiter-4 needs HELP

YouTube via nvanzoeren
"My Jupiter-4 broke down during post handling. I voice is acting very weird and there is a random lfo effect on the filter cutoff frequentie

I live in Galway, Ireland and don't want to send the Jupiter-4 overseas again for repair like the UK, unless in Northern Ireland.

Do you know somebody or are you up for the job?

Please contact me at: bitfinder [at] mac , com"

Studio Metamorphosis Jan09 with ambient music

YouTube via grauoliv
"So, here is the main metamorphosis of my studio, which took place in january 2009. I had to give up the camera position because I got new windows and my tripod was standing right at the window for making the pix. Well, some little adjusting of the studio is still to be done.

A studio introduction 2009 will follow soon.

The ambient music was already recorded with the new setup and features the clavia nord modular g2, alesis micron, access virus indigo, moog little phatty and the akai mpc 500. The original track is about 9 minutes."

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)"
