Update via the comments:
REgardging the synth in the opening shot above the mellotron.
"The synth is a PPG monosynth - a 1002 or 1020 I think. There was a post on this blog about it a few months ago.

Lots more vintage TD on Youtube, it all seems to be from the same German TV program. Just search for 'Tangerine Dream Signale'."

Title link takes you there.

"The TR-808 MIDI retrofit enables your Roland TR-808 to be synchronized with other MIDI devices and work like polyphonic velocity sensitive MIDI drum expander. More over all original features of the TR-808 are not changed.

Features:

-Sequencer of TR-808 can be synchronized by internal tempo generator or by MIDI clock.
-Start / Stop (transport functions) can be controlled by panel button or by "Start", "Stop" and "Continue" MIDI transport commands or both ways simultaneously.
-Tone generators of TR-808 can be triggered by internal sequencer, by MIDI notes or both ways simultaneously.
-Response of tone generators to "Velocity" of Note-On MIDI commands is fully dynamic.
-79 MIDI notes (12 to 90) are acceptable. It can be assigned to each of them independently:
- any of TR-808 tone generator (or none generator)
- basic signal level and dynamic range (resolution up to 126 steps) of assigned tone generator
- CM/GM/GS/XG drum map is factory predefined.
- Number of MIDI channel for MIDI commands receiving is programmable by user, channel 10 is factory predefined.
- MIDI interface can be turned off, TR-808 then works exactly as without installed interface.
- Easy and non-destructive installation into TR-808.

Nice. Title link takes you to the post on Music Thing.

Via the forum this was found on:
"Rumors are now that Wakai is negotiating with Nintendo to get The Legend Of Zelda (NES version) on the mpc2500 to boost sales. Nothing official as usual."

Title link takes you to a sample of the Synthi VCS3 by REwire on the VSE fourm. Details saved here for when the thread goes into limbo:

"My Synthi VCS3 has been hard to play in tune since I got it but recently I did an overhaul on cleaning, lubing and internal pot adjusting it and wow, suddenly it all came togther in tune - all 3 oscillators holding pitch together.

Unlike my "Bit By Bit" tune with a modular patch that allowed 5 oscs to be panned separately, these three are crammed together into the same filter and mono output. The effect is a war of oscs, beating against each other for supremacy.

This is a one minute solo piece with first one osc, then two, then three all playing the same thing: 840K mp3

When VA's can do this I'll submit."

mp3 saved here for posterity.
