Re: Help me recognize a synth
Yes, it could very well be a CS-50.

Re: Help me recognize a synth
The keyboard on top of the Rhodes appears to be a Solina string ensemble. The other one, I think, is a Yamaha CS-60 polyphonic synthesizer.

Re: The great thread of electronic/synthesizer soundtracks
Thank you very much virgule, well done! I'll be darned, I had my suspicions that it could be Wendy and I listened to most of her '70s material, including the "Clockwork orange" ost, but I just couldn't find this piece. EDIT: I just noticed that an excerpt from that section of Timesteps is used early...

Re: The great thread of electronic/synthesizer soundtracks
Anybody here able to identify this electronic piece from the BBC documentary In Search of the Dark ages (episode: In search of Boadicea, march 1980): https://youtu.be/-FlbP20Ex9c?t=1312 I just finished watching the whole series (8 episodes) and I can tell you it's crammed with analog synth goodness....

Re: Japan "Burning Bridges"- what synths?
If I recall correctly for the '79 tour Richard used the Micromoog, Roland 700 'laboratory system" controlled by an Oberheim mini-sequencer,
ARP/Solina string ensemble and a Wurlitzer electric piano.

Re: Eurythmics
They used the Omnichord a lot on Love is a stranger so it's probably that one. The guitar tremolo was apparently the filter/LFO on the Roland SH-09 with the guitar through the external input. The pulsing 8-note bass is also the SH-09. They additionally used a Juno-6 and occasionally a borrowed Oberh...

Re: The Working Hour - What Synth?
I saw them live in 1985 with the synth rig you can see on the video below, giving you an idea of what they worked with. others from that performance you get a good view of what is being used by both. There's an old thread on all this somewhere..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNd4RaOAo_4 I can'...

Re: Which keyboard is this in Mr Mister 1985 setup?
Highest key is actually F if you look more closely, so it's got to be a MKB-300.
Here's an interview with Mr. Mister from the same year which reveals some of the gear they used at the time (including the MKB-300):

Re: Synths used by Wire (English post-punk group)?
English producer/musician Mike Thorne did the keyboard/synth work on Wire's first three albums and on this particular album (154) he used a Yamaha CS-80 and an EMS Synthi AKS.

Re: The great thread of electronic/synthesizer soundtracks
From your description it sounds like it could be his soundtrack for Frédéric Rossif's wildlife documentary series "Opera Sauvage" (1979):
Lovely stuff indeed!

Re: The great thread of electronic/synthesizer soundtracks
Trying to figure out what was used on the Jonathan Elias score for VAMP (1986) From my ears. Emulator Linn Drum Sounds like an analog synth is doing the pads mostly...possible Jupiter-8 or Prophet-5? I believe they used the Synclavier a lot on VAMP but I don't know what else. Besides Elias himself,...

Re: The great thread of electronic/synthesizer soundtracks
Dave Lawson used the following setup on the Runaway Train soundtrack: Prophet 5 rev 2, Yamaha DX-5, Synclavier II (mono sampling), Emulator II and a Linn 9000. The other synthesist Brian Gascoigne probably used a Fairlight but I'm not sure what else, although in this studio photo from 1985 you can s...

Re: Xanadu movie (yeah, the 1980's with Olivia Newton-John)
John Farrar, the producer of the ONJ songs, was into the Oberheim OB-X at the time and I guess it saw use on this production too. Richard Tandy of ELO was also
using an OB-X along with a CS-80 and a SLM concert spectrum (a rebadged Welson symphony).
