"All synth sounds come from JX3P and Juno except the bass in the middle, that's Novation K-Station. Some 707 drums." JX-3P is producing the trumpet like sound.

"nothing but processed recordings (no instruments and synthesis involved) and the main drone is stereo filtering with two Moog MF-101 Lowpass filters creating some cool resonance and panning effects."

"Please visit http://www.myspace.com/kotomaiola or http://www.youtube.com/user/kotoxx to know more about Koto

This is a completed Version of Jabdah by a fan (user Pelorcitos) with images of Star Wars.

Koto is an Italian synth pop group that originally consisted of Anfrando Maiola and Stefano Cundari, later with Michiel van der Kuy too. Their most popular songs were "Visitors", "Dragon's Legend", "Chinese Revenge" and "Jabdah", released in 1983-1988. Koto is often associated with a genre of music called Spacesynth, a music style streamed from Space Disco. Unfortunately, it has been reported that Stefano Cundari died some time between 1991 and 1992 from a brain tumor."

"Sounds made with Metasonix Phattytron:

Also see the Metasonix TS-22 Pentode Filterbank Serial Number 2.

On the difference between the two: "The phattytron was a full synth voice with MIDI containing the ideas and circuits that later went on to become the Wretch Machine. The TS-22 is just a badass Filterbank! :)"

Moog Memorymoog -- Lintronics

via this auction
"It's a Memorymoog - the keyboard that was so expensive to produce that it basically put Moog out of the game.

But wait, there's more! This keyboard has been flown to Germany where Rudi Linhard (aka Mr. Lintronics) has personally upgraded a ton of internal components, installed a fantastic MIDI implementation, and given it additional in/out functions for external access to the rockin' ladder filter that defines the Moog sound.

http://www.lintronics.de/ will give you an idea of what is done. The current Lintronics upgrade costs 3600 Euros. That's like a billion dollars. (or $5035 at today's exchange rate)."

Moog Prodigy 336A Synthesizer, Rare "S Trig" Socket

via this auction
"This is a rare, later version with S trigger in/out, keyboard in/out, oscillator in, vcf in, sync in and hi level audio out. A must if you want to interface with CV/Gate or MIDI/CV devices. Employs two voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs) with saw, triangle and pulse waveforms. Also, a genuine Moog 24dB / octave lowpass filter, A/D/S envelope generator, and LFO with square or sine waveforms and routing to the VCF, VCO or both. Even has Portamento, Pitch and Mod wheels. Works great with no scratchiness in pots or switches. I have owned it for approximately 7 years. The wood appears to have been refinished at some point. One small dent as seen in pictures.

2 syncable VCOs with the classic 24dB moog ladder filter, two ASD/R and a simple LFO.
The two vcos are similar but they have different waveforms and different “feet” settings.
VCO1 has the 32′ and offers Pulse, Saw and Tri waveforms.
VCO2 has the 4′ and TRi, Square and Saw.
The second vco has a detune knob and can be synced to vco1 creating many complex waves.

Using the Pitch Wheel with the sync on , the wheel “move” only the VCO2 creating big alterations in the waveform content.
Then there is a mixer/vca part , the Filter with cutoff, (env)Amount, and Emphasis (resonance) and the two envelope ADS/ASR.
The LFO is quite simple and offers square and tri waves with a rate control that can go from 0.3Hz to 30 Hz."
