Update via popman in the comments: "No, it is not the same Keyboard. You will notice that on this one, the keys themselves don't light up.
Actually, it was a Kb especially build for this live show were every 5 key group triggers a light pad above.
Other thing about this loive show : a big battery of ARP2600 on stage and the very first appearance of Roland D70 on stage."

ELEKTRONIKA EM 25
via this auction"rare Soviet analog polyphonic synthesizer - ELEKTRONIKA EM 25. This auction synth was made in November 1991 by most pupular Soviet brand. "Elektronika" was the so-called brand name for any former Soviet electronic product made in any former Soviet factory more or less involved in the manufacturing of any electronic devices and there were a whole range of electronic products released in Russia (watches, TV sets, amps, speakers, tuners, and more) that used this 'trademark'.
Elektronika EM-25 is a polyphonic synth specialising in strings, organ and brass. Like other such instruments, it has a 'divide-down' variety to give a totally polyphonic generator through a single filter, amp and envelope.The strings section had mixable contrabass, cello and violins with variable attack and decay and the obligatory chorus unit for the rich ensemble effect.
The organ offered variable footages at 16', 8', 4' and 2' with variable attack and decay whilst the brass section offered trombone and trumpet. Of course, none of these sounds 'realistic' but there are plenty of controls and facilities to coax some sonic mileage out of this trio of sounds.
There is an LFO that could be used to sweep the apparently fiercely resonant, self-oscillating filter and all the sections could be mixed and balanced - even split across the keyboard range - and so, in that respect, the EM-25 was not unlike the Moog Opus, Korg Trident and other such keyboards. To the left was a performance section - "Transposer" with a pitchbend lever that appears to have been lifted directly from Roland's 'bender' design!As other soviet synths EM 25 has it`s own unique sound. You can get from the synth - warm analog strings, smooth pads, orchestral sounds, fat synthetic brasses and leads, various space fx sounds etc."

iPod Touch on eBay
"Winter sale!!!!!Down from $7.99 to $3.99.
Randgrid is not a toy, Randgrid is an advanced tool for making music. You should be familiar with analog synthesizers and sequencers to understand and get the most out of this app.
Please visit http://www.randgrid.com/ for more informatrion.
The interface of Randgrid is based on classic analog synthesizers, drum machines and step sequencers.You have a very powerful setup at your fingertips with two monophonic virtual analog subtractive synthesizers and fourteen sampled drum parts.
Note that the synthesizers are real and not based on samples, they are calculated in realtime and every parameter change immediately affects the sound generation.
We dare to say that the drum machine in Randgrid is the most advanced currently available for iPhone/iPod Touch. Use parameter locks to change it's parameters for each step in the pattern (the same goes for the synthesizers of course). This lets you build the most dynamic complex beats you ever could dream of. You can alter parameters like panning, volume, flam, start/stop position of the sample (making it possible to play parts of the samples both forward and reverse), or the amount of delay/echo you want on each step in the pattern.
The advanced step sequencer is the heart of Randgrid, it lets you control virtually every aspect of the drums and synthesizers. Use parameter locks to change cutoff, resonance, envelope modulation, panning and many more parameters of the synthesizers for each step in a pattern.Some of the great features are:
- 2x dual oscillator subtractive synthesizers
- 14x sampled drums
- stereo delay effect
- distortion effect- Song sequencer
- Multiple patterns
- File manager
- Solo/mute groups
- Pattern randomizer
- Copy/Paste operations
- Parameter locks
We promise you a long time commitment, where we continue develop and make this application better, please let us know what features you would like to see implemented?

RISCy
"RISCy is a drag and drop synthesizer puzzle full of sonic perturbation. You live code via the limited instruction set in the lower part of the interface; drag out tokens to the top area to build your synth graph, drag a token back off the top area to remove it. Each token has an aural consequence, and some special tokens also change the nature of the hidden graph connecting active tokens; puzzling out these relationships is part of the fun. You'll be able to make lots of noisy sounds as well as generative sequenced patterns. Press ! to clear the graph and reset; press ? to get a random starting point. Download RISCy if you are open to stranger computer music sounds, and avoid it if you just want diatonic melodies and piano sounds!"RISCy is free.
