Visage-New Romantics Top 10

YouTube via chrisf242. One more of the Top 10 series. You can find all previously posted here along with some other synth oriented videos from chrisf242.
Update: finally got around to watching this one in whole. The most synth heavy band of the series and no synths featured. Sorry about that all. I saw the studio bits and assumed synths would show. Nope.

Moog Minimoog Model E - The Welsh Minimoog

images via this auction
"this is a very rare (5-8 units worldwide) Minimoog Modell E / 204E from Alex Winter, an english manufactor from the mid 90ies. the synth is in perfect optical and technical condition, small scratches in the woodpanel. technical its near mint incl. absolute stable oscillators, pwm for osc 1 and 2 and a factory midi interface (in/out/thru). it works with the most important midi cotroller (vcf, vca, modulation, pitch, last note priority).

The sound is also identical to the Mini Moog D model bearing in mind that the Minimoogs from the 70s in different phases always nuances also different. This is the debate whether Oscillator Board 1 (often unstable and serviceanfällig) or oscillator Board 2 (stable OSC) is better."

Nord Lead Anniversary Model presentation

"The moment Clavia unveiled the Limited Edition of their Nord Lead at this years MusikMesse. More at Gearjunkies.com."

And an image and some info via the Clavia Website:

"Nord Lead Anniversary Model Ltd. EditionClavia was founded 25 years ago by Hans Nordelius. The very first products from us involved digital audio and samples, technologies that were well and truly in its infancy back in 1983. 13 years ago Clavia launched the original Nord Lead, which made a huge impact on the synthesizer community and the MI business. The Nord Lead was Clavia's first keyboard instrument and was to lead the way, not only for the MI business but also for the direction of Clavia as a company. In order to commemorate this first 25th anniversary for Clavia, we have created the Nord Lead Anniversary Model Limited Edition. This collectible synthesizer will be made in a limited production run that will consist of only 299 units. The Nord Lead Anniversary Model Ltd. Edition shares the specifications with the Nord Lead 2x and will be easily recognizable with a custom printed front panel and the inverted color scheme on the keyboard. The individually numbered units will be delivered with a certificate of authenticity, signed by Mr Nordelius."
