Ept - Leid; Korg Electribes sequenced with Reaper

YouTube via nikoeatsabear
"Check out my other music at http://www.myspace.com/eptmusic. I was starting to feel limited by the Electribe step sequencer, so a few hours into making this track I imported all the midi data into Reaper and went from there."

'Pattern Bussing'

YouTube via morbius001
"This is a demo of a patching technique... a 'Morby-patch' I've devoloped for the Q960 sequencer which allows the performer to selectively alter the reset-points and step sequence, by switching the trigger-gates on a series of trigger-busses."

TENORI-ON "Dreaming"

YouTube via gattobus
"This is my very first composition with my new Yamaha Tenori-On. I was skeptical before trying it, but now I'm convinced that it is truly an incredible instrument and it gives the player a really new approach to music composition."

Liaisons dangereuses - Los niños del parque

YouTube via Flesh1978. "(Live Manchester 07.07.1982)"
Sent my way via juergen who had the following to say:
"Here a you tube link LIASONS DANGEREUSES – one of my early synth heros …you can see an OBX + MS 10 or 20 and some unidentidfied machines"

Lyrics:
"The little kids in the park
are really lucky
They go walking
Holding hands
Dreaming about candy
which doesnt cost any money

But.. Who dares to say
they are innocents?
They will smoke cigarettes
They will play with atomic bombs"
In Spanish under the video description.

Update via Schwertwal in the comments:
"Some of these guys were originally in DAF.... DAF used mostly the Korg MS-20 through a sequencer, though during their live set-ups, they'd just play the backing tracks on tape while Robert drummed.
