Midge Ure's Minimoog

I put up a post on this video of Midge (Ultravox) talking about the Minimoog back in August. What I didn't notice was the green led readout above the Mixer section or the rectangle on the left (picture below). Anyone know what these are?

Title link takes you to some news on MFB and Spectral Audio on SchneidersBuero.
Spectral Audio: They are still with us and will be introducing the sequencer pictured here along with other modules.
