Some cool musical instruments with nice interfaces:











At least one has been used by Jarre, another one live (by a guest performer) :-)

The first one looks like one of those ancient synthesizers. Interesting one indeed.
The second last one is cool too.
Also great to hear the cristal baschet. It's incredible how non-acoustic it can sound.

Jarre played the cristal baschet on Revolutions. I don't know on which track(s).

On the first one, at 1:46, that's amazing, like the CS-80.
And at 1:50, james bond like melody :fine:

This one demonstrates the 3 of them together http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qagAnX6eJ8

Indeed, however I never knew what it was. Two of them can also be seen at his cristal baschet during the Docklands concert. First I thought it was just some fancy stage decoration.

It is inox leaf, making the sound more metallic.

A bit different on stage, there was 2 leafs, and it was used not like a "monitor" like on the Crystal, but as a microphone. I think the capsule of the microphone is on the center, and the inox leafs works like membranes.

Maybe i'm wrong, but i think it's the way it works.

That's a Theremin. Of course Jarre used one of these (in Oxygene 1-6, 7-13 + 3D and others), but his was built by Moog.

He didn't use the theremin on the 1976 Oxygene album.
JMj started using it around 1997. :wink2:

I know that in Oxygene Pt. 1 the AKS is used. But in Part 3, there's IMHO too much portamento, the theremin-typical waveform and not 100% pitch corectness. So I would have thought it's a theremin - but if you're so sure that it isn't one....
