Synths starting with Alan Townsend of Roland and the SH-101 at 1:40. Ultravox at 3:20 with Billy Currie on Arp Odyssey and Midge Ure on PPG at 4:00 followed by Warren Cann on LinnDrum and PPG again. Midge Ure on Minimoog at 4:59. Note the mod on the MIDI previously posted here. That excerpt of the video was posted here. And of course you can spot the Yamaha CS80 captured in the default image for the video.

The following covers some of the same but appears to be a compilation with a whole lot more. Depeche Mode comes in at 22:10 with a Yamaha CS5 followed by a Roland Jupiter-4 at 23:09. Moog Prodigy to the left of the Jupiter-4 at 23:20. Also listen for the correct pronunciation of Depeche Mode right after 23:20. See if you can guess it before watching.

ARP 2600 ANALOG Synthesizer w/ 3620 Keyboard

via this auction
via the seller:
"ARP 2600 vintage analog synthesizer with 3620 keyboard (model 2601 V1.0). The unit is 100% functional and in nice cosmetic condition as well. I just had it fully serviced and the keyboard has all new bushings. I also had the audio upgrade done - the LM301AN chips were replaced with LF411s to upgrade the audio path. This unit is from 1975-76, and has the 'Moog' Model 4012 filter module. It plays great and sounds awesome. "

Modded FUTURE RETRO 777

via this auction
"About 4 years ago, Jered, the owner of Future Retro performed some mods on this unit.

Here is a list of the mods:

1. Oscillator Tuning Temperature Stability Mod (Internal, I believe "Temp.-Co" resistors were installed)
2. Oscillator 2 SYNC to Oscillator 1 (SWITCH on back of unit)

3. "Sequencer Glide" On/Of (SWITCH on back of unit)
4. Adjust overall VCF Cutoff modifier amount (POT with knob on back of unit)

These mods are awesome and greatly enhance the sonic palette of the 777 voice, without losing any of the stock sounds....[especially the SYNC mod when using the Envelope to sweep VCO B pitch]

"FL Studio Mobile Tutorial Playlist - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?p=PL60A6ABB92691D0FF

If you want, load mobile projects into FL Studio and take them to the next level.

FL Studio Mobile available from the App store.

Yes the hand is inside the iPad. With proper training and diet it is possible to fit the FL Studio Guru INSIDE an iPad.

FL STUDIO MOBILE FAQ

What about Android OS? It's on the roadmap, stop nagging! We have a development team working on a low-latency Android audio-engine and there are many screen resolutions and device specifications to consider, it's not as simple as you may think :)

Does this mean FL Studio on Mac OSX soon? FL Studio Mobile is not a port of the Windows version of FL Studio. It is the product of a completely separate development team, and code, so FL Studio Mobile, while compatible with FL Studio has no impact on FL Studio development and vice versa.

Can I load my own samples? Not in version 1.0. We plan to enable user uploads in a future update.

Can I use VSTs? No, iOS does not support VSTs and frankly the devices it runs on don't have the CPU power to perform the synthesis you are used to on a desktop. FL Studio Mobile uses high quality sample based instruments made from Image-Line plugins and sample packs."
