As far as I can see, that is a DigiCo SD7; digital mixing desk. Those DigiCo's are more and more becoming the standard in pro-audio. Mostly the 5-series are used, but for this kind of JMJ concerts, I don't think it's strange that they used DigiCo's topmodel for soundcontrol .

Ok I owe Gee a beer or a glass of paperwine. The keyboard beneath Jarre's Nord was indeed a JD800

. . . . and what do I get for being the one who spotted it first?

Jakob, what is that beneath the Nord Lead (mk1) in Jarre's set-up that sits upon the tables, is that another JD800?

Sorry I do remember that, my bad. You too can choose between a beer or a glass of paperwine
Well if just I had a look inside the spoiler trheads at the time, I could have figured it out myself, as I didn't have all the pics

Any chance of a MacDonalds Happy Meal instead?

I'll think about that

Ok im still digging into the gear. On one of Claude's own photos, you can see a ROland TD-20 in his drumsetup. I think the TD-9 was replaced by the TD-20 before the tour started. That would also explane the expanded amount of drums in Claude's setup. Besides that, it would also explane why I haven't seen the TD-9 except on those rehearsing photos

geeky talk

Btw. the Syntar can be seen on this photo, just above the RMI:

[Jon]

Is that what was heard going out of tune during a certain track that finished with Jarre playing the AX-Synths guitar lead?

[Jakob BC]

I only saw/heard JMJ use it during Calypso 3. You can hear it at 1:37 in the Malmö recordings. I don't remember if it was the exact same sound. I just remember that JMJ went over to the Syntar, and that sound came out of the speakers.

From the recent JarreBlog update

"I am really enjoying the touch of the AX-Synth, the prototype that Roland Europe kindly got me before its July release. . . . . I think this instrument sounds really great. We had to cover it in black for lighting reasons, I know that Roland Japan is preparing a special version for me to fit the project. I really appreciate."

[Jakob BC]

Great... I haven't checked out the latest blog update. In the early rehearsal photos, you could spot a white AX-Synth, so I guess it's a custom painting. Still very interesting piece of information.

Which track is including Haken Continuum during this tour?

I have wondered about that too, I never saw him use it in Ã…rhus. Since it's a performer instrument, I suppose it would have been used for something special. Maybe he will use it later on.

Interesting, it's really hard to miss: http://images.google.co.uk/images?hl=en ... a=N&tab=wi .
