Oberheim OB-Xa Synthesizer Used by Rush?

via this auction

"Up for auction is an Oberheim OB-Xa Synthesizer with an interesting history with the band RUSH. The unit powers up, makes noises, but just not the proper ones! It will definitley need servicing. It does have the JL Cooper MIDI modification as well as the 120 Program mod. Cosmetically it is in good condition with some scratches and marking as shown in the pictures...  *The unit was used as a last minute backup by Geddy Lee at a RUSH concert in Denver in the early 80's. The thought of Tom Sawyer played on it by the man himself is overwhelming!"

accompaying a song with the omnichord by folktek

"The omnichord is a strange instrument, which was first released in 1981 by Suzuki. it is based on chords and easy to play. Every chord owns a chord bottom to press. FOLKTEK modified the omnichord, so it became an instrument, which is vey interesting to play because of it´s special fragile and not really predictible sounding. In the video you can hear the modified version, combined with the ALESIS PHILTRE and a DELAY, accompanying the voice of a singer."

april me _ songs on the fly
YouTube Uploaded by pianoloft on Jan 17, 2012
"short part from our last song-improvisation, which we did during snow was falling. "songs on the fly" is a duo project, which means spontaneously songwriting. when we start playing, just the lyrics are prepared. the whole music happens in the middle of the moment and is recorded directly on dat-tape. in this case i used the omnichord by folktek, a modified instrument with a fragile and touching sound."

Jorrit Dijkstra's Lyricon with Cwejman S2

via Jorrit Dijkstra's site where you'll find more details and pics.

"My Lyricon Driver and the Cwejman S2 analog synthesizer. The S2 is an pre-patched analog synthesizer with CV inputs (NO MIDI INVOLVED!!), modified by Wowa Cwejman to work with the Driver. The Lyricon Driver's Wind output goes to extra added EG and VCA inputs on the Cwejman S2, the Lip output to the S2's Filter Cutoff, and the Bend Up (pitch) output to the S2's Tune input. But other connections are possible too."
