I used to think Klaus Schulze was using an ARP 2600 for soloing on Bayreuth Return from his Timewind album.

In fact, he was using a white-face ARP Odyssey for that.

[...] He is selling the synthesizer to me for about 200€, would it be worth to take the risk to buy the synthesizer? No, it wouldn't. As @desmond already quoted from the reviews, it is not worth the hassle. [...] And would it be very hard/expensive to fix? [...] Most probably, yes. But without know...

Hands off. Italian stuff of that era -- SIEL in particular -- is prone to fail and close to impossible to fix due to some dreadful technical documentation (i. e. none at all). The Opera 6 belongs to the bunch of "dreaded battery damage" synthesisers (if I recall correctly), and its general build qua...

Not sure how accurate the E&MM article is -- the PS in the rack behind Bartos is a 3100, not a 3300. Kraftwerk are reported to have owned the 3100 as well as 3200 and 3300 (according to Martin Thewes in AME Journal, sometime in 1983 or thereabouts). Pictures from Florian's studio also show the 3200:...

The image shows a Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 Rev. 2 or 3 which was used by Florian Schneider during the 1981 world tour. Ralf's rig was initially made up of a Minimoog, stacked on top of a Polymoog, stacked on top of a Vako Orchestron (before the Orchestron was replaced with a second Polymoog (fo...

Many happy returns!

Looking forward to the 50th birthday of your CS80 .

Stephen (who has just turned 50 this year but who is looking nowhere near as good as the Mini above)

Berlin School is not dead, just a little bit smelly.

As for the rest, I can't quite figure out what you are trying to convey.

But I didn't try very hard anyway. Just found the headline rather catchy.

[...] I can almost understand the crazy prices for something like a Yamaha CS-80 [...] I can't, and the CS80 is probably one of my all-time favourites (with the original Mini Moog in tow). Yet, having owned one for more than twenty years, I know what I can and what it can't do and where its weaknes...

I used to have one of these ancient Tektronix oscilloscopes... huge, and heavy as h**l.

Found it by the wayside, standing in the rain.

He mentions the acquisition of the Wave and the Waveterm with 8" discs -- must have been a Waveterm A then.

The PPG is unfathomable. That's the fun of it.

[...] Less than 10 ever made, it cost over $50,000 in 1973 Less than ten GX-1 units ever made? Seems highly unlikely. Stephen It is, no way were less than 10 made. While I don't regard Wikipedia as the definitive source, there are more than 10 known owners listed on there, Keith Emerson owned 2 as ...

Why does it matter, particularly when this question has been discussed multiple times on this forum (and elsewhere)?

Of course it's only me but I for one don't get it why people keep asking questions like "what synth on...?" -- seems to have become a habit here lately.
